We did a project in order to learn more about the culture of Mexico and about a few of the places in our book. For the first part of the project, we went through and labeled certain places on a map, such as some states, their capitals, and the populations. In doing this I had learned a lot more about Mexico, along with the different places and cultures. We had compared some of the largest cities in Mexico to some of the larger cities in Texas and the results of the two had shocked me, I had never really known much about Mexico besides what is shown on T.V. The next part of the project was to research ten places in Mexico to visit. Two of the places had to be located in Nayarit, which is where a part of our book took place, and one had to be located in Guadalajara. The rest of the places to visit in Mexico were your choice. This part of the project was really interesting and fun to me because I had gotten to see a bunch of different places in Mexico. Many of the places I had never heard of and really enjoyed being able to read about the places and learn more about the culture of a place I had known so little about. I was surprised to see all the different and beautiful cities, towns, and everything else compared to what I had thought it was. Two of the places I would definitely want to visit would be the underwater museum in Cancun because it would be a great experience and something not everyone has done. I would also love to visit Guadalajara because it just seems to be a beautiful place to see a bunch of sights and get to become immersed in the Mexican culture.

Letter
Dear Commander Lewis,
I know you feel like it might all be your fault but it’s not, you did what you were supposed to. You were being a good leader I know it was a hard choice to make but you made the right one. I am supportive of your decision because you thought I was dead and I don’t blame you. I did get stabbed by a antenna during the dust storm. Instead of you waiting to see if I was ok you acted fast. Instead of risking all y’all’s lives you saved your self and the others. So please don’t beat yourself up because you left me stranded on Mars, I’ll be fine, well hopefully. You’re the greatest leader I have ever know because you work well under pressure and you make great choices. I am glad you were my leader I would choose no other person as a leader. THANK YOU.
You’re probably wondering what i’m up to right know, I am doing well. My potato farm is doing marvelous. You might wonder how I made the potato farm. Pretty simple I took the martian soil mixed it with earth soil sample I have. Then once that was done mixing I had to add fertilizer which was simple. Later I planted the potatoes and now they are growing well. Know after the meal pacs run out I won’t starve to death as fast.
Sincerely,
Mark watney
The M.A.V.
The M.A.V.
The Mars Ascent Vehicle, or the MAV, is a NASA exploration vehicle. It is being built for three missions potentially starting in 2018. The first mission is to collect a cache of samples. The second mission is to land, receive and launch the samples into Mars orbit. The third one is to rendezvous with the orbiting sample container and return them to Earth for study.
The MAV will be the first vehicle to be launched from a different planetary body. The MAV is constrained by both the lander and EDL (Entry,Descendants,and Landing system) for mass and volume.
One of the biggest challenges of the MAV is the conditions which vehicle must survive in. The MAV will experience vibration and shock loads during Earth launch and Mars EDL; in some cases exceeding a sustained deceleration greater than 15-g’s while stowed. The MAV must be stowed in a horizontal position relative to the lander during Earth launch. Also one of the biggest challenges of the MAV is the environments the vehicle must survive. One of the biggest challenges of the MAV is the environments the vehicle must survive. The MAV must operate in the cold temperatures that will be on Mars. In the worse case temperatures on the surface of Mars may reach up to -100oC (or 147o F).
A potential option is to perform high altitude flight tests launched from a balloon platform. NASA’s Balloon Program evaluated the potential to complete the MAV tests at high altitude and found that the balloons provide a feasible option, but may have a risk due to the potential range of the MAV. The first flight of the vehicle must have a safe range of approximately 940 mile radius! This range is so large that there are few places on Earth that can accommodate the MAV balloon launch.
Another problem with the MAV development is how to test the vehicle on Earth. They have demonstrated a high failure rate, greater than 20 percent, during the first few flights of a new vehicle. A 20 percent failure rate would be unacceptable. So the full vehicle must first demonstrate the ability to survive the environments and meet the performance requirements of the mission. The Mars flight environment is difficult to replicate on Earth. The Mars gravity is 38 percent that of Earth, but more importantly, the Mars atmosphere is only one percent that of Earth, and the MAV will be at vacuum before performing its circularization maneuver. On Earth, the initial atmospheric conditions to demonstrate the aerodynamic loads can be closely replicated with a launch from an altitude of 27.5 km. On Earth, however; the maneuver would still be within the Earth’s atmosphere and could achieve orbit.
Just Believe
Penny is free to do whatever.
Like put on a sweater.
Melody can’t do something that simple.
She is like a caged animal.
Waiting to be freed.
Starting to lose hope.
still waiting to be freed.
Also learning to believe.
She now knows if she believes she will be forever free.
Don’t Cause The Next Holocaust.
What learned about the Holocaust is that a lot of innocent people lost their lives over 11 million people just over half were Jewish. Adolf was mad at some Jews because they said he was not good enough to make a career of painting. And because of those few Jews he made a lot of them pay for the others actions. He thought because some Jews did not like him and he did not like them that he did not like all Jews.So because a few people 11 million people lost their life in his rain of terror. But he killed himself on may 2nd 1945 when he committed suicide. It all started with some hate filled people.
Some lessons I will take forth into life as I get older is treat people fairly. They told him he wasn’t good enough because he was not Jewish and he knew that that is what made him so mad. Also don’t judge a lot of people because of a few people. Not all people are just like those few people they might be a lot different. So don’t judge people because they believe differently than you or look different or act different or else you might cause the next Holocaust.
Diary Entry
Dear Diary,
Today I was at Annemarie’s house playing dolls. Her mom and dad read a newspaper and figured out that the Nazi’s are going to relocate all the Jews. Whatever that means? The way her dad said it it does not sound very good. I will be pretending to be her sister for a bit. Which should not be to hard because we are so close. Her father said at one time I had three daughters and I am happy to have the daughters again. It made me feel a little better about staying here. I would feel alot better if I had even one idea where my parents where. A man took them somewhere and said they would be safe. I worry more and more every minute. Well going to bed.
I can’t sleep! I’m just to worried thinking will I ever see my family again. Will they get found by the nazi’s? Will I get found by the nazi’s? Will the solder’s come again? Will Annemarie’s family get caught? Will they be taken or even worse killed? What is there prodlem with Jews? Why was I born into this this this this DISASTER? I have way too many questions and not enough answers but the biggest question is….. WHY?
Until nexttime,
Ellen
