Curiosity Lands On Mars

  The significance of Curiosity's mission is to inspect Mars for valuable resources and key things for life. Also to see if humans will ever be able to live on the Planet. This trip is significant because they have prepared for it for a long period of time and it will show NASA if Mars is needed to re-visit because if they spent a lot of money sending Astronauts up to Mars and they found nothing it would be a massive waste of time and money.
  During the two years Curiosity will spend its time searching for the chemical building blocks needed to support primitive organisms, such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and oxygen. To do so it will drill into Martian rocks and examine some of the planet's famous red soil. From this information I can infer that NASA has faith that they will find something on Mars. I think this because they invested a lot of time, effort and money onto the Curiosity so they must have a feeling that there are some valuable resources on Mars.
  If Curiosity were to find valuable resources on Mars I think that they would first observe the pictures that Curiosity had taken. Then they would decide if they were to re-visit the planet. If they were to re-visit Mars they would bring the resources back to earth where they would thoroughly analyze them. If they found everything they wanted to find I think that they would test to see if humans could survive and potentially live on Mars. Also I assume they would use some of the resources to substitute for other resources that are running out.

If You Could Spend A Day WIth Anyone in History

 Many in this world have passed and left marks on our lives, big or small, good or bad, rememberable or not but most people have made an impact on our lifes. For me, there is one women in particular who I extremely love that has made me into the person I am today. That is my lovely Grandmother.
 My Grandmother is one of the most important people to me in my life. She is a large part of me and I will never forget the times we had. Sadly, I have never seen her face to face due to the fact my mom had to leave her family when she was 22 years old and once the rest of my siblings and I were born my mother never had the chance to bring us to see her. Though I've never seen her in person she was a phenmonal woman. She was a kind, humble, sweet lady that always knew how to make me smile. She taught me the ways to treat each other and to always be grateful, even if things weren't the best.We spoke on the phone ever chance we got and she truley enchanted my life. She passed away last year on May 7th and it devasted my family. None of us really got the chance to say goodbye. We mourned for long but remembered she would hate to ever see us like this. So we did what she would want us to do, be happy. Remember all the times we had until we could see her again.
 If I had the chance to spend a day with her, I'd spend that day at my home, with the rest of my family. We would fill her in on all that she had missed. It would be amazing to finally be able to see her face to face. But more importantly it would mean the world to finally be able to say our goodbyes.
 I really don't wish for much. Just a day with my role model. She was and will always be a large part of my life. I love her dearly and wish to be as lovely as of a women as she.
