We learned about the abbreviated history of astrophysics, through reading Neil Degrasse Tyson's book  Astrophysics for People in a Hurry , and learned how to calculate a Riemann sum.  For this Action Project, we were tasked with creating a scientific conference poster that discussed the current state of space exploration, through detailing one of the several Space Technology Grand Challenges set up by NASA.  Below is my conference poster, detailing one of NASA's Grand Challenges, Colonization. This Grand Challenge has us aiming to create self-sustaining and reliable human environments and habitats that enable the permanent colonization of space and other planetary surfaces. Currently, the infrastructure and integrated technologies needed to enable permanent, self-sufficient human settlements away from Earth do ...
