I’m Going to Mars!

“I think it would be great to be born on Earth and die on Mars. Just hopefully not at the point of impact.” - Elon Musk

I’m Going to Mars!

Yes, you read it right. I’m going to Mars!

And here is my boarding pass for NASA’s Mars 2020 Rover.

So am I going to be the first human on Mars? Not likely. There are million others going on that Mars 2020 Rover mission!

NASA is actually giving an opportunity to the public to send their names that will be carried in a chip abroad the rover. The Mars 2020 rover is launching in July 2020 and will reach the red planet in February, 2021.

Even though, just my name is going to Mars but still it’s an exciting feeling. Hopefully, mankind will soon colonize the red planet so that in my lifetime, I get a shot to set foot there and explore the topography, and probably die there, eventually. As Elon Musk once said, “I think it would be great to be born on Earth and die on Mars. Just hopefully not at the point of impact.” I have a similar hope too!
