So it's a Friday , I was introduced to this blogger by a friend "thanks". Now what should i rant about today !! Well first off i can't wait till 5pm so i can take off from Austin and go and check out the great air out in Corsicana! Anyways on to something more of a GREATER topic ~
SPACE: Dawn Mission- the journey to the heart of the asteroid belt
So this is an interesting topic indeed for me at least and that is what counts for well being!

It will take almost a decade for this mission to be complete and written into not only our American history but in world history. Nothing may ever come of this expedition besides the will of exploration and imagination. the Dawn Mission is drawn out to get results from 2 bodies, one Vesta an asteroid and the other a dwarf planet named Ceres. These celestial bodies are believed to have been accreted in early history of our solar system. The mission is suppose to characterize every aspect of our early solar system the subjective process as to how is was formed.....ya i know some people have different theories mainly religious ones as to how we all got here and were we are all going in time. But really what's it going to hurt to have a little imagination and curiosity at heart to ask the question what if ......?
So we have to bodies here Ceres and Vesta, both formed completely different , so the big question is why...Why would they form so differently being so close together and why would their evolutionary paths be so different. If they could figure out why and if the technology we continue to grow upon and make greater; maybe we can become creators ourselves. One simple chemical compound could be added to the mix and forever change a planet forever making it bearable for humans. Turn a planet that has no oxygen into a nature haven . So far fetched but still fun you get the idea. See how fun it is to creatively think of different ways to benefit on exploration and to ask questions and then work on getting the answer.
The study of the two bodies will consist of you know the great ol' camera -of course the best digital camera..., a visible and infrared mapping spectrometer and a gamma ray and neutron spectrometer they also have tools to test each individuals gravity fields which is very important to us of course!
I am sure i will be giving on time updates and checking Nasa.Gov everyday lol!
