Hello, I'm Ron Howard. I'm one of the executive producers of Mars, and in fact, I'm talking to you today from the set of Mars, the mini-series. Any story, buddy, name any true life adventure, is a story of courage and heroism, and Mars is as well.

But it's not just the getting there; it's building the base, it's colonizing it, it's surviving. We are dramatizing what we think the experience might be like, but it's not fiction. It's all very much based on our research. The research and the science is guiding our drama.

Everything that is being scripted is based upon the individuals who we're interviewing, explaining to us what the first explorers and colonizers to Mars will most likely have to face. You know, among the things that really make us unique as human beings is our ability to imagine, to dream, to consider the possibility of living somewhere else, whether it's on the other side of that Valley or on another planet.

I hope that our telling of this story of going to Mars and colonizing Mars will stimulate the people's imaginations because I think that will also open their mind to this exciting possibility that is there for this you.

Curvature intuition

Hello everyone. So what I’d like to do here is talk about curvature. I’ve drawn on the xy plane here a certain curve. So this is our x-axis, this is our y-axis, this is a curve running through space, and I’d like you to imagine that this is a road of some…

Consider the curve given by the equation (y^3 - xy = 2). It can be shown that the derivative of (y) with respect to (x) is equal to (\frac{y}{3y^2 - x}). All right, write an equation for the line tangent to the curve at the point ((-1, 1)). So, we could…

We should talk a little more about Newton’s third law because there are some deep misconceptions that many people have about this law. It seems simple, but it’s not nearly as simple as you might think. So, people often phrase it as, “For every action, th…

15 Ways To MAKE PEOPLE TRUST YOU

Hey there. We know how you feel. You have good intentions, but you can’t seem to get anyone to trust you. And worse, you have no idea why anyone would trust you. In fact, this has caused you to trust yourself even less. But did you know that all of that c…
