A second Giant Leap for Mankind? Mars One Offers one way trip.

 Ever dreamt of going to Mars, be a martian and stay there for you entire human life? You are in luck!

     A Dutch company plans to send people to Mars by 2023.The Project called " Mars One " is a non-profit organisation that will send you to Mars and live there forever. Yes , forever... Until the company decides to give you a return ticket. Do you think you have what it takes ?

I first read about Mars One back in June. The project is based on a concept of building a human colony on Mars and filming the entire process. Remember the Sci-fi Horror movie "Apollo 18" back in 2011?
I hope there is no dangerous life forms in the Red Planet, Imagine watching a long horror movie but only reality.
There are a few ambassadors from around the world, including Prof. Dr. Gerard 't Hooft, Paul Römer, Mary Roach, Gerard Blaauw, Prof.Dr.Ir.Boudewijn Ambrosius, and even Dr.Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor who is a doctor and astronaut of Malaysia.
Besides ambassadors, this project have even interested aerospace companies including SpaceX, Astrobotic, and ILC Dover

This year, Mars one will hold a global lottery to select 40 people to train and prepare for Mars. They will be sent to live in a simulation for three months, which the number of people will be reduced down to 10. As Mars One said. By 2023, this group will be sent to mars to form the first permanent human colony. They will send four people in the first trip, then more astronauts every two years. Although this is a One-Way trip, The company stated that the possibility for a return visit to earth may open up. But not guaranteed.

For lots of people, this seems like a very bizarre idea and label it as impossible, although it might not seem possible but in my opinion, this thing could actually happen. So do you think you can survive and mantain a stable mental health living in a cold, barren red planet and have the skills?  Get noticed and expect to be included in the worldwide lottery this year! 
To be honest, I am kind of interested in this as I always wanted to be an Astronaut or a Scientist but the only problem is , I am 15 and I am gonna miss Earth.

Origin of Surnames


              In today's civilisation, we are all named specifically in order to be known. We want to know who we really are and where  our names originated from . Names are very important as they have meaning to the individual and their families. The most important type of names is the surname, they give us meaning of our family's history and origins. Our family names have changed drastically overtime, causing trouble to most of us that are searching the origins of our names.



The very first appearance of surnames was i the bible, people were named accordingly by their home, jobs, land and even their village. People in that time did not have a surname because they simply do not need them, the population of their villages are so small that all people have different first names. As the population of their villages grew, people started having surnames named by their jobs, tradition and culture.

As time goes by, our ancestors started changing their surnames. When our ancestors, in search of freedom  has decided to settle in america, They changed their surnames by shortening it or changing it completely in order to feel more americanised and free. For example, "Wilhelm became William", "Jacob became James", "Olivier became Oliver".

It is important for us to know what our surnames are so we can know where our family came from and the history of our ancestors. Famous people and people who have changed the world like Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs and Tim Berner Lee are well remembered because they have changed our society. Remembering our original surnames are not as easy because the spellings and pronunciation of them has changed tremendously over the centuries. There are changed so long ago that people today have a hard time tracking down their real surname. In today;s modern society, surnames gives us our own identity and personality, and this is very important to us today

The Chinese Building Company known as "Broad Sustainable Building Corporation" will start building the foundation for this enormous building this month. The project is named "Sky City", their plan is to build a 220 storeys skyscraper in an amazing speed finishing in just 90 days. The scheduled date for the construction of this sky scraper will start from January and finishing in March. Look at that phenomena speed! Comparing to Burj Khalifa of Dubai which had taken 6 years to construct from 2004 to 2010.


Here's a video from Buzz60 showing more about this project.
I do not own this video. 




More information on this building
Height  -   838 m (2,749ft)
Floor Area - 1,215,000m
Floors - 220
Elevators - 104
Location - Changsha , Hunan, China
Cost - $628 Million

So in your opinion, do you think this will be a successful project? 
It might help China with Overpopulation and it will shape mankind's future of construction.

Btw, this building does remind me of the Super Tall Building of Mega City One in "Judge Dredd 2012 The Movie".

Obama wins the re-election by a hundred votes,  Continue leading America for the next four years!

Since the first day Obama was elected in 2009. He had accomplished great things for America.
Here are his five accomplishment that I've known.

  • Secondly, He eliminated the infamous Osama Bin Laden, who is wanted for more than a decade and is a former leader of modern Islamic terrorism. Osama Bin Laden was killed in Abbotabad , Pakistan , May 2 2011.
  • Thirdly ,  Obama had helped South Sudan Declare Independence on 2011.
  • Fourthly,Obama expanded Stem Cell Research that was restricted by the Bush-era, and helped treating spinal and other injuries.
  • Lastly, Obama had improved United States image to other counties, with its new and improved diplomacy and policies which decreased the hatred and decline towards America.

Raining

Raining Is Awesome
    Waking up very early after a very late night sleep in my friends sleepover. I don't really know how I woke up without an alarm but usually I am a very deep sleeper.

     It has been raining everyday for days. So consistent that I can even predict when it will rain. If it starts raining aound 6 or 7pm, the sky would appear very dark and grey, a zombie apocalypse like colour or something like that.

   For the past few days, I've been feeling relaxed because my school exams are finish and most importantly it rains everyday!

    To be honest , I love thunderstorms and raining. It will be better if I am indoor of course.
