2. Take notes on the following questions (notes do not count towards grade):

a. According to Mr. Petranek, why must humans colonize Mars?

b. What are the engineering challenges of going to Mars?

c. What are the engineering challenges of living on Mars and how might these be resolved?

d. What are the humanitarian and ethical issues associated with sending humans to Mars?

3. Set a timer for one hour. Within that hour, write one short paragraph (up to 5 sentences) for each question 1.a. to 1.d. Aim to write a cohesive text that ties each paragraph to the previous paragraph. Mention Mr. Petranek as the source at an appropriate location in the text and add a footnote with the link to the video. Reserve extra time to read and edit your paragraphs for clarity and conciseness.
