What Are Aliens Project Update #2
After a lack of information, confusing sources, and many math mistakes, we finally overcame our first roadblock: calculating radiation and finding the limit for surviving radiation. Life on Mars is a lot more complicated that I thought. We also began more research on the moon Europa, and started hypothesizing what life on those places might be like. We didn't get too much else done, mostly because of the major obstacle of radiation, so this update is going to be short. We hope you continue to follow our progress.

What Are Aliens Project Update #1
These past two weeks have been fairly productive. We have been researching 3 places in our solar system suspected to contain water, Mars, Europa, and Titan. But while Titan has water, it is all frozen in ice due to the planet's cold temperature. Life on Titan would have to be very different from that on Earth, or have some way to get water from the ice. Mars is constantly being hit by radiation due to a lack of a magnetic field. We have not determined if it is lethal, because it has been difficult to find the radiation tolerance of humans. We are still researching Europa. This is what we have accomplished these past two weeks, and we hope you continue to follow our progress.
