  1. I chose this article because I like studying about our solar system. I think its fun studying the planets and all that. The word NASA is an abreviation for National Aeronaurics and Space Administration. They (NASA)have been in important events such as when Neil Armstrong first steped the moon, OUR moon. I don't think there will be travel to Mars because I read in a book that we (The humans) won't be going to Mars in 20,000 years. What I mean by that is that we won't be going there to live in a long time. One detail I think is important is that if you want to go to the moon, you will get there in 6 months. I think this is important because there are people who would want to go to the moon, including me. So I was just trying to tell those people who care about space and time.

  2. I think traveling to mars is true for some people,and not for others. Something I liked in this article is that theirs a timeline of "Taking Flight" to mars. And it has pictures on top of them so they can be more specific. And that is what I like about this article.

  3. What I think about the texting article is that it is true. And I think it is too. I liked that article because it has a mini quiz. Also it gives lots of information. This is what I think about that article.

  4. Daniel, I like how you made a text to text connection, sharing knowledge you found in another book in your posting. Its definitely important to know how long a trip to the moon would take. Thank you for sharing your passion for our solar system in your response.

  7. I agree with Kevin Flores when he says that he disagrees with Daniel Cortes. I agree with Kevin because Daniel said that going to Mars will be posible in 200,000 years.How will there be life in 202,009.

    I agree with Eric when he wrote that there is a timeline of "Taking Flight" to Mars.In the Time line, it gave facts I've never read before. It was fasinating.

  12. I disagree with Kevin and Marco when they say that they disagree with Daniel. Who knows if there will still be life in the world. Humans might still be alive in 200,000 years.

  16. The features of a book and a movie are the same because they use the names of the characters from the movies and the books. -Madeline Gonzalez

  20. I think it is important for movie to stay identical to the book so that the people that watch the movies can compare the book to the movies.
