A permanent habitat on the Moon
Hey everyone,in Englishclasswe study space subject and we readtextmission of the NASA astronauts to dig to find frozenwateron the moonand install solar energy panels to collect energy for the base because their goals isto build a permanent habitat onthe moon. Can you believe that maybe in many years we could live in the moon? Impossible right?I know me too I find that incrediblebut what I find interesting ofthismissionis that it’s difficultfor humanto live on the moon so, wewill have to wear a space suit to go outsidethe building.It is also interesting to me because it could be the start of space tourism. That's awesome! Tome the missionis important becauseit could be the start of space tourism and we could make discoveries.In Englishclass we also read that Europeanastronomers have found an earth-like planet that could support life. They find it in a planetery system called Gliesed 581. The earth-like planet is in the constellationLibra. Gliese 581 is the sun of red dwarf. Red dwarf is the name that astronomers giveto Gliese 581 because it is very small and relative coolness. The earth-like planet is Gliese 581 c because of itssimilar characteristics to the earth’s, the temperature could be between 0 degree c to 40 degree c. Therecould be water.This mission could be great for use because if something happento earthwe will havethis planet to rescueuse. Doyou think that they willsucceedthe mission?

A space mission |
Hello, if you readthis presentation,it meansthat you are Miss Tremblay, my parents or a random person.My name is Guillaume and me and my class hadto doa presentation about a space mission for anexam.I chosea mission thattalkabout the Nasa astronautsgoingback tothe moon for another mission. So, this is my presentation. And I hope you like it. Have a good readingThemission consiststogotothe moonand do some experiments.They want to build a permanent habitation on the moon.It will be Nasa astronaut who will do the mission.It will be very soon.They are going to take avehicletocarry a lunar moduleto build a house. So,this is the mission,but people will ask “why did you take this anot another one”.Because I very curious to see what is in space and in the article,itsaidthat it could also pave the way for space tourism.And I thinkthis mission is good for the humanity because it could bring humanon the moon if there is something badlike, earthquake, meteorite or elseon earth.

Are we Alone?
Hello students,in English classwe have been exploring outer space and Ithoughtyoumight like to hear about this exciting mission. Acrew of scientistsand the ground crew of the Darwinmission who will be in charge for this expedition, wantto send four differentspace craft into space in Whichthree of these spacecrafts have a telescope measuringthree to four meters. The goal is to find a life supporting planetlike in 2007 when a team of astronauts made the discovery of Gliese581 c. a planet that has a sun and three orbiting planets. Gliese581 c and earth havesome similar characteristics in common. Thetemperatureseemsto bechillyit is estimated that it is between 0c to 40c.scientists say there could be liquid water on this planet like Rivers , lakes and oceans.Gliesewould have two times the amount of gravity found on earth and is about only five times the mass of our planet.A lot of scientists think it may support life however it is most likely not to support animal and vegetable life becauseof itshigh gravity.I think this mission is interesting because I really like planetary science and learning about new planets that could support life is really fascinating to me.However as much as Ilike learning about planets, this mission is also important for the future of humanity since we could get closer to discovering life outside of earth really existsand of course to answer the big question ...Are we alone?

Life in low gravity
Hello students from sjb,
In English class, we are learning a lot about space and possible life on other planets. Talking about life on other planets did you know that the ISS (International space station) is studying life in low gravity? Scientists aboard a low-gravity space laboratory are experimenting variety of science such as life science, materials, earth observation and astronomy. They’re mostly studying life in low gravity. Why must you ask? Because it’ll help us plan human missions and to build bases on the moon to upgrade our knowledge. Although we don’t know when that’ll happen, we know where and that is of course 400km above earth. I find this mission interesting because I'm very curious about life on planets other than earth, not like I'm 100% sure that it’s possible but I'm very into knowing more about it. I think that this mission is very important for the future of humanity because it’ll help us understand more our solar system. By building more bases on planets, we will know more about the planet itself and look at the possibilities for life form there and maybe try to make it support life. In school, we read an article about people’s opinion on if life exists on other planets or in other galaxies and if we should continue to investigate. There this one person’s opinion that caught my eye and that it's kind of related to this mission. He said that he thinks that we should more concentrate in our planet and not others and he said that humans crossed high mountains, crossed the oceans and traveled to the moon all because of our curiosity and he wants us to try and try again. Try what? Well, try to develop our knowledge, find new stuff and of course make us reach the “impossible”. So then, this mission proves that our researches are useful, that they are possible, that they are a good thing for the future of humanity. We should always try to reach the impossible.

Mission: Explora
Mission Explora is a mission that consistexploringmore of space,looking and collectinginformationaboutdifferentplanets. Theobjective of that exploration is to find new life, anew planet wherehumanity could live and discover even more about what is around usand know what is around us.The crew of scientist that are organisingthis mission is going to stay on earth and thespacecraft that areequippedwith atelescope aregoingto share the information that it finds satellite. This mission might start in 2 years or in 50, we cannotknow if they are going to runintosome complication or some problems.Thismission is to find a planet that we could live on,but itmight find some new creatures,or anextinguishedcivilizationthat died like our dinosaursorsome new plantsand new vegetables. This missionis interestingbecause it'sgoing tocompletelychange the way we see space in our dreams, theoriesabout Aliens,it is going tochange humanity,because wearegoing tobe ableto see how life is like out of earth.Our technologyis going to upgradeand be better our vehiclesmight be flying like we alwaysthoughitwould. Theconspiratorcommunityand theirweirdideasmight stop sayingall that bull crap about the earth beingflat.

The Ares 1 Mission
The mission of our future. This mission is to send a vehicle that will carry alunar lander to build a permanent habitat on the moon. The astronauts will go very soon,the Nasa think that if this works,we have a chance to maybego live on the moon or other planets. Todo this the NASAwill senda rocket with the vehicle and the astronauts. This mission interest me because like Jacob(the guy in the task one)said in the task 1(the task 1 is to shearh a planets like the earth so that we can liove on the planet instead of try to make contact with extraterestrial)that is more important to search other planets that we can live on instead of a form of life (ufo, extra-terrestrials) and if we succeed, it would say that is possible to live on another planet. Like the new Elonmusk project, togo live on mars. The problem is that if it's possible in the future is that it’s itwillcost a lot of money around55 billion to 150 billion maybe more. so,a lot of peoplewill not beable to pay it, and when all the rich people will be gone, the humansthat will be on earthare going todiebecause they are no more oxygen ...so that is the mission ARES 1.

NASA astronauts back to the Moon.
Hi everyone,the NASA astronauts will do this mission and there will go on the Moon.The mission will be done with1 launchvehicle that will carry a lunar landerand modules;the goal isto build a permanenthabitat on the Moon.Some of their tasks will be to dig to see if theycan find frozen water and install solar energy panels to collect energy for the base.I find this mission interesting because the NASA astronauts will return on Moon,ithas more thanbeen50 years sincesomeone went to the Moon. I also love all things that referto space or planets,I find very interesting all the theories about life on other planets. It so complex and incredible.This mission is important for the future of humanity because maybe it will help us to know if humans can live on the Moon and if live exists there. I thinkthat the permanent habitat on the Moon can be used as a house for space tourismor it can be use like a research station about life on another planets.

BLOG : SPACE MISSION 3
Hello everybody, I authorthis article because in class we talked about space,planets and missions andI wanted to tell you what I understood in class.I read an article about many spaces'missions,and I chooseone to explain to you what they do basically. I read that scientistmay find a habitable planet that can support life.They do someresearch and do their best to find this planet fastThe goalof the mission is to find the habitable planet so people can live there like I said.Oh, I remember,I also read another article in the newspapersthat saidthat European have found an earth-like planet that can also support life: the Gliese 581.I also see that the crew of Darwin will be in charge for this extraordinarymission.Sorry I didn’t find when they going to do that, but I hopethat is going to be not too far.The place where they are going to is in spaceof course, but also around other stars.You are probably wondering why I choose this mission. It'sbecause for me finding another planet that can support life itsextraordinaryand an exploit. Like it'sgoing to be in history.I think this mission is importantthe humanity becauseifone day it’s the end of the world, wecould have a planet where we could live to survive.Anyways it’s the end of my blog today, I hope that you enjoyed readind my article.

A habitable Planet
Hello! Today, onthe SJB newspaper, we are talking about a space mission. This mission consists offind a habitable planet. The Darwin mission(is the name of this mission) has only onegoal: send four robots into space to try to find a planet that supports humanlife. Everything will happen in space! The robots that we send to space will send images on Earth.This mission interesting mebecause I love our Earth andif scientists can find a habitable planet, we can live thereand finally stop polluting our earth with gas, oil and especially plastic. This mission is very important for the futureof humanity because we will never know when the earth is no longer habitable because of the poisonous gases we breatheand plastic that kills hundreds if not thousands of species every year.In a document about space,I read that Gliese 581cis an Earth-like planetbecause it has oceans with lakes and rivers and its normal temperature is between 0 to 40 degrees Celsius andif there is indeed water, based on these temperatures, watercould be liquid andwith advanced technology we could perhaps go and live there.

The Discovery of a Hidden Planet
The Darwin mission is a mission to send 4 spacecraft outer space to have the opportunity to find a habitable planet for humans. The ground crew of the Darwin mission will be controlling the 4 spacecraft and 3 of the 4 spacecraft will contain space telescope to find a habitable planet. The people on the ground found with the telescopes an earth-like planet that is called Gliese 581 c. this planet is 20.5 light years away from earth. Gliese 581 c possesses characteristics like our planet. This system has a sun, but their sun is one third time the size of our sun. They will send the space telescope soon. The telescopes will go there with the spacecraft that will be controlled by the ground crew. I find this interesting because we didn’t really discover a habitat for humans yet, but with all the research that scientists made, we are probably going to find a habitable planet for humans. I think it is important because with all the efforts that the astronauts, the scientists that work for the NASA and other people that work in a job like that, I congratulate them for that effort.

The new mission to the moon
After humanshave reachedthe moonin 1969, NASA astronautsare going to do a new mission, go again on the moon.The mission is simple, create a lunar base and for what? Todo this lunar basepermanent!So,everyonecan eat, sleep and live normally there. ThePersonswho aregoingto do this projectarethe NASA scientistsand NASA astronauts. And very soon,this project is going to be reality. Theyare going to useAres1 for the launching of the lunar lander,and they are probably headingon the south polebecause it is exposed toconstant sunlight. Theyare also going to find ifthereisfrozen water todig and install solar energy panels tocreate energy for the base. I find this project very interesting because it'sbeen a long timethat everyone is not go tothe moon and just in a little moment,they choose to go tothe moon to create a base,so I just thinkedthis is very interesting but also little funny. Finally, I think it is very important for the humanity tocreate a base on the moon because after that, itcan be useful tocolonisethe planet like after we can use this base for anairport togo on other planet like Gliese 581 c and maybe find life, butthe airport can be also usedto do space tourismand with this money we could create anotherairport on other planetsandcolonise the solar system and maybe colonise the milky way so that can be useful in the future.

Are we alone?
Hello, in English class, I saw in a document 4 missions that humans want to do in space. 4 missions that are all different, but all interesting and one got my attention. It's to send spacecraft into space and I'm going to explain why it is a good idea. The goal of this mission is to search life-supporting planets and to know if there is life in the universe and other without us human. It’s the crew of the Darwin Mission who will send the spacecraft into space. They will use this spacecraft to search for new life-supporting planets and its important because the earth can die with all the pollution we do and if it's happening, will need a new planet and for example Gliese 581, it has the same characteristic of the earth but with lots of gravity. We can use this robot to searches if there is other life in the universe. I find this mission very interesting because I think this is smart to use robot spacecraft instead of humans, it's easier. We must have suits for astronaut, we must eat, must do exercise and to drink and whit all this we can’t go far away in space, but robot can change all this without need has much. So, tanks for read all this and I hope you want also spacecraft.
