Expedition 53

Two days ago, NASA announced that it's International Space Station team is willing to invite those from our world to go on a trip thats out of this world. NASA has invited people to go on it's space station to take a trip around the Earth and capture photographs of our wonderful planet. The trip itself is to inspire both students and teachers to venture out into the great unknown and to share photos of their finds. The trip starts in the U.K. and ends back around to Canada.

Earth-like Planets

Recently, there have been discoveries about Earth like planets in our galaxy, from what I've noticed; scientists tend to find things like air and water on these planets, and while it's interesting to think about humans inhabiting another planet it's also scary to think of what could also be on that blue planet like ours. One thing I would find interesting is what is on these planets, like what plants and animals are on it and how we could use them to our survival and advantage. Another thing I sometimes think about is how many light years it would take and how long it would take for humans to adapt on these planets. One thing that has come to mind is this: what if humans aren't capable of living on other planets? How would we try to save our own if that was the case? While these thoughts linger through my mind, it's still a cool concept regardless.

NASA's Mission To Saturn

While it's ending it's final chapter on Saturn, the Cassini space craft spent 13 years studying Saturn and it's rings. The next mission for the Cassini space craft is to go beyond Saturn and what lies beyond our own solar system. The signal from Cassini's space craft lost its signal with NASA at 7:55 a.m. From what I have gathered from the article about Cassini on NASA's official website, Cassini will bring us more information about Saturn in the upcoming weeks.
