: During June of 1997: Steve Wall, the Advanced Projects Design Team Leader at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, estimated that

a human mission to Mars could be done for half price when compared to the expenses related to getting a man on the Moon and back several decades ago. A half-price sale seems like a bargain! But, is the anticipated 30-40 billion dollars to get a human to Mars and back worth it? Considering that the costs associated with getting humans to the moon in the 60’s and 70’s was about 70 billion dollars (according to S. Wall) when adjustments for inflation are made, this puts our modern space exploration missions (the ISS and Mars) at rock bottom prices…..right? For such low prices, discuss your opinion on sending people to Mars. Is it worth the price? What advantages do we have for sending people vs. rovers? How else could we use the money?

Answer:

This is really a personal opinion, since whether it is correct to send people to mars or not depends largely on your point of view and personal beliefs. Clearly, humans are far more capable than robots, and they can explore space and eventually other planets much better than a rover. On the other hand, sending people to Mars is not only extremely expensive, but it is also extremely dangerous for the astronauts themselves.

Imagine so many people died trying to get to space and then to the moon, and that was very easy compared to getting to Mars and back.

We can find millions of better ways to use the money than sending people to space, and that is really hard to argue against. Our planet, our country, state or even city could all benefit and use the money more productively.

But lets say that we do not care about the money because Mr. Bezos or some other billionaire decided to donate it. Now we would face the technical issues of going to Mars and actually staying there for a long time. A trip to mars is not something that would be carried out for just a couple of hours (like moon walking). Astronauts will have to stay in Mars for weeks, months or even years before they can return. This results in an extreme danger to their health due to cosmic rays. Can humans survive long term exposure to cosmic rays? The answer is NO and Mars's atmosphere doesn't help.

If we analyze this situation from a technical point of view, it would be better and safer to send astronauts to Titan (Saturn's moon), and would probably be also more useful. Titan's environment is similar to Earth's in many ways, and if we are actually doing it for a scientific purpose besides simply being curious, then it is much more useful to go to Titan. The scientific purpose of going to mars instead of other possible destinations is not very solid. Mars is really different to Earth and unless someone finds Martians living there, there is not much you can do.

______ are any assets that a firm can draw on when formulating and implementing a strategy.
qaws [65]

Resources are any assets that a firm can draw on when formulating and implementing a strategy.

Resource based view is strategy based model that considers an organization's resources as a key to sustainable competitive advantage. The supporters suggests that a firm should look inside the company to find the sources of competitive advantage, instead of looking at the external competitive environment.

  According to the Resource based view there are two types of resources: Tangible assets and intangible assets. Tangible assets are physical things such as land, building, machinery, equipment etc. Organizations can easily acquire them in market, so they confer little advantage. Intangible are assets that have no physical presence, such as brand reputation, trademark, etc. They play a significant role in sustaining of a firm as its competitors can't acquire these internal assets.

C. Her marginal value of an additional bite of food has fallen to zero.

Explanation:

Marginal value is a concept used in understanding consumer choices and can be defined as the incremental value derived from consuming an additional unit of a product or service. Jenica's marginal value has fallen to zero since she does not derive any more value from consuming an additional bite of the remaining or uneaten portion of food.
