Dear Diary,
Another Aha Moment so early in the morning today.
I woke up early today, (Have been trying ever since my birthday, erveryday i wake up and sleep, but today i had enough kick and i didn't sleep).
Watching the lecture, This was very important one. David Spergel is now my second favorite professor. this section of the course is about mars, and today he explained how it would be to go to mars and more importantly why we should go to mars. This is very expensive, and most probably only a one way ticket. We can go there and live the rest of the life there (maybe)
One of the reason is scientific, if we send humans on mars, we can carry out more detailed experiments than what rovers can do. But that is not sufficient, with rovers we would have better dollar/research ratio.
He says that another reason he personally thinks is that it can actually define we. We as a whole humanity united. All Countries. Space station is an example of unity. Martian exploration could be something we do as a species. Many nations contribute and establish a community that is not national but transnational.
