Example

• April 22, 2013– Today is Earth Day. How ironic….Save the planet?

Are you kidding me? This asteroid is destroying any chance of that! I have less than a year to say goodbye to all of my family because I leave for Mars. I know I should make the most of these last days, but ……

Example

• August 4, 2013• We arrived on Mars today. My colony is going

to be on Olympus Mons. The sky is an eerie red and it’s like you are constantly looking through this red haze. The humidity is stifling. The mood among my crew is subdued at best, most of us thinking of our loved ones back home. Home….what a funny word. Will I ever consider this red planet my home?
