NASA… Next stop: Mars.
I think by now, it has become apparent that 60 Minutes is one of my favorite shows on television. I try to watch every week, since there is usually at least one story that fascinates me. This week, it’s about NASA.
If you didn’t know by now, NASA is working on sending a man to the moon again by 2020 and to Mars by 2030, and they’re working at full speed. Personally, I’m excited that the US is finally working again on ‘deep space’ exploration. First of all, this will motivate children to study science and engineering, which might fix the engineer drought that American companies are facing. Secondly, this may reignite hope into the heart of humanity, so that we start thinking about the future again just like how we did in the 60s. Finally, it will once again show that if humanity sets its mind on a goal, it can and will be achieved.
The video is 11 minutes, so if you have time, give it a watch. Oh, and I’d like to hear your thoughts about sending a man to Mars.
