The story “Dark they were‚ and Golden-Eyed” by Ray Bradbury was a great story about people from Earth arriving on Mars to have a brighter future. There was also the audio play produced by Mcdonough.

From Arthur C. Clarke’s “The Star”‚ a tale about an astronaut who questions religion after seeing the work of a destroyed intelligent species‚ it brought up the question as to whether or not the human race holds the ability to create a safehold for items that represent that which the Earth is comprised of (cultures‚ art‚ sciences‚ etc).

The NASA project New Horizon may build on its successes via Kuiper Belt flyby. The New Horizon team of researchers also plans to study MU69 in more depth. Could this be another secret alien space mission? New Horizon had recent success after it accomplished its Pluto flyby without crashing or deviating from its scheduled course. This has been impressive for NASA‚ given the distance from Earth to Pluto. However‚ there may be more at stake for the MU69 mission. Maybe NASA is looking to make contact

Not much was said about what had happened‚ it was not until later that I fully understood. Space
