Over the next 50 years, we are going to send more and better robots to Mars. There is a limit to what robots can tell us, though, so eventually we will have to send people to study the planet.
Before people can visit Mars, we need to invent a spaceship that can take us there. Depending on where Mars and Earth are in their orbits around the sun, it could take between six months to a year to get there.
The moon is much closer, and we were there more than 40 years ago. Over the next 10 years, we are going to work on building a new spacecraft.
Once we return to the moon, we are going to build a station so that people can live and work on the moon for months at a time. This is important so that we have a place to start from when we want to visit Mars.
By the time you are old enough to be an astronaut, we will have people spending months on the moon. By the time you are old enough to be a commander of a space mission, we will be taking trips to Mars. By the time your kids are old enough to be astronauts, we may have people living on Mars. Wouldn't it be cool to get a postcard from someone who was building a house on Mars?
A. Mars is very far away.
B. People will go to live on Mars one day.
C. Wouldn't it be cooler if it was you who sent the postcard?
D. Using this craft, we will practice the skills we need to go to Mars.
E. Those robots will send back better pictures, maps, and weather reports.
F. It would be possible for us to go to Mars in a spacecraft in the near future.
G. However, it is also important because it gives us practice with living away from Earth.
How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest:

I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before.” {#blank#}2{#/blank#} To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing.

Laugh when you need it most.
“{#blank#}4{#/blank#}” says comedian Bill Cosby.“And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it,” he insists.
Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain—because it comes naturally. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Just remember: we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs.
