understanding of the universe to the next
frontier. The Mission to Mars Student Challenge
includes a flexible and guided plan with
standards-aligned STEM lessons and activities.
Along with links to extended learning
opportunities and resources related to the
mission phases. The Challenge also includes
video conversations with mission scientists
and engineers to help stoke the creativity
within your own projects and concepts.

Perseverance will be the biggest and heaviest
craft to attempt a landing to date. And a
slew of newly developed technologies will
finally be put to the test. The sojourn seems
to defy all odds and meticulous calculations
and navigational telemetries must be painstakingly
pored over. The perilous journey
includes a seven-minute fiery dive barreling
through the Red Planet’s inhospitable atmosphere
at a speed of fifty thousand miles per
hour. The craft careens through the inferno
safely using a combination of heat shields,
parachutes, and rockets. The craft’s guided
entry process culminates in a sky crane
maneuver that allows the Rover to descend
gingerly onto the Red Planet’s surface with
a system of tethered nylon cables.
Educators, families, and just plum propulsion
enthusiasts can draft, assemble, and
land their own spacecraft. And providing
succor throughout you have a handy-dandy
NASA STEM toolkit at your disposal to lend
inspiration with a plenitude of activities and
videos and other brain-bolstering resources.
The next generation of NASA scientists
and engineers are among you and you’ll
be stalwartly well-equipped to advance our
So start stirring that imagination and wrap
your mind around a space endeavor that
traverses three-hundred million miles to a
desolate and distant planet on the periphery
of our understanding of the universe. This
event is a milestone of human triumph
and it’ll be up to your craft-cobbling-craniums
to push the envelope and lead the charge toward
the next monumental discovery amidst
the inky abyss of the cosmic unknown
some day.
Onward and upward, students. And get
those frontal lobes frothing at this historic
moment for mankind. •

just be “low key” dumb together, it’s safer

Abortions were legalized 48 years ago on
January 22, 1973. Roe vs Wade has been
challenged throughout the years, but has
remained in place to allow women the choice
of ending a pregnancy. In a later ruling in
the 1990’s, the Supreme Court ruled that
State governments could not put an “undue
burden” on a woman who is seeking an abortion.
It is now estimated and fact checked
that close to 60 million babies have been
aborted since 1973. It is hard for me to
write this let alone comprehend what that
means. It is so sad to think of all the young
kids who never had a chance in life. Young
girls who are 13 or 14 or 18 years of age
have to be told that there are alternatives to
ending their child’s life. Prolife pregnancy
clinics counsel them and show the mother
their baby’s embryo during an ultrasound.
Most of the time these young ladies carry
the baby to full term and birth. 40 Days for
Life is a program of prayer that simply tries
to communicate that Christian people are
praying for the young mothers regardless of
their decision to keep their child or not. If
we love life, we must be the voice for the
little ones who have no voice. Pray.
