Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te marama o Whiringa-a-rangi 2014, i whakaatuhia e te tohunga o te plasma a Dr John Brandenburg tana ariā i patua ai tetahi iwi onamata i runga i a Mars i roto i te whakaeke karihi. Inaianei, kua hoki mai ia, ā, ka whakaatuhia e ia he taunakitanga hou mō tana ariā i tētahi huihuinga e tautokohia ana e NASA i tēnei rā. E kī ana ia kāore he whakamārama kē atu mō tana tono he "tohu patu" i mahue mai i te whakaeke i Mars. Ka whakaatu a Tākuta John Brandenburg i tana ariā i Houston, Texas i tēnei rā. E mea ana ia i whakangaromia tētahi iwi o mua o Mars e tētahi poma karihi. Ko te paparanga angiangi o nga matū irirangi tae atu ki te uranium, thorium (kua whakaatuhia ki te whakairoiro) me te potassium irirangi i runga i te mata e whakaatu ana i tenei ariā. Ka whakaatu a Tākuta Brandenburg i tana ariā i te 46th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference i Houston, Texas i te Whare Whakaaturanga o te Taone i tēnei ahiahi. Mēnā i ngaro i a koe te kōrero i te wā tuatahi, kia mōhio kei reira te nui o ngā mea hei tango. E ai ki a ia, ko nga tangata o mua o Mars e mohiotia ana ko nga Cydonians me nga Utopians i whakangaromia e te whakaeke karihi mai i tetahi atu iwi ke. Ahakoa kaore ia e tino taipitopito mo nga iwi ke, ka tohu ia ki te maha o nga "tuku" i runga i te mata e kii ana ko nga toenga o te hapori mohio. I tua atu i ēnei ariā whakaharahara, kua arahina e Tākuta John Brandenburg tētahi mahi tino noa, whai mana hoki. Kei a ia he PhD i roto i te Theoretical Plasma Physics mai i te Whare Wananga o California i Davis. I tenei wa kei te mahi ia hei kairangahau plasma i Orbital Technologies i Madison Wisconsin. Kua mahi ia i runga i te momo o ngā hangarau pūkaha, me te i mua ko te kaitohutohu motuhake i runga i Space Missile Defense me te Aratau Energy Aronga. He maha nga pukapuka a Dr Brandenburg, ko tana pukapuka hou ko te Mate i runga i a Mars: Ko te Whiwhinga o te Whakamate Nuclear Planetary. Na ka whakatupato ia kia wehi hoki tatou i te whakaekenga mai o tēnei iwi ārai ārai i whakangaromia ai ngā Martian. He paparanga angiangi o ngā matū irirangi tae atu ki te uranium, te thorium me te potassium irirangi i runga i te mata e whakarato ana...
Ka whakaatu a Tākuta John Brandenburg i tana ariā i Houston, Texas i tēnei rā. E mea ana ia i whakangaromia tētahi iwi o mua o Mars e tētahi poma karihi. Ko te taunakitanga o tēnei e puta mai ana i te 'tohu o te patu' Kāore hoki he whakamārama atu mō tana whakaaturanga. I kī a Tākuta Brandenburg tērā pea ka whakawehia te Ao.
