Suggestions for Chapter 6

Chapter 6

• Extend the title of the chapter by “Escaping from Mars: An example to estimate trajectories”

• At the beginning, it would be useful to introduce something like:
  In this chapter, we will introduce some tools (formulas) rooted in Physics and Trigonometry as well as the idea of a Space trip to draw an example of how data collection, modelling and projections may help to estimate unknown factors (velocity) for decision-making. So, suppose you…

• Introduce section 6.1 “Problem formulation and underlying premises”
  It may be after “What on Mars is the escape velocity?”

• This chapter is lacking a focused reading for correcting several typos or capital letters in names. Also to erase Spanish sounds, grammatical structures and gender pronouns.

• Replace the section 6.1 Calculating the constant g of Mars
  By: 6.2 “Experimentation: Calculating the [constant g] of Mars”

• Regarding the [constant g] => are you referring to the gravity or gradient? In that case, I would replace it by gravity or gradient in the title of this subsection and, previously, have introduced key meanings and definitions in order to conceptualize them and how they interact.

One thing I found a bit confusing while reading this chapter is the choice of standard deviations for the prior and posterior distributions. Is there a rule for how to choose/set the standard deviations?
