Over the past few years, space exploration has seemed to take quite a drop in the US agenda. Federal government taxes have not been much help for the very high priced agenda of NASA. Next week a nonprofit organization, Inspiration Mars Foundation, will be having a press conference. At this conference they will announce their plans to travel to Mars in January 2018. This trip will be called “Mission for America”. They have not stated for sure that there will be people also heading to Mars instead of just a rover, but as for now it is a strong belief that man will travel to mars as well. The trip is planned to be a total of 501 and says. Tito, the founder of the organization, gave the official description as follows: “This "Mission for America" will generate new knowledge, experience and momentum for the next great era of space exploration. It is intended to encourage all Americans to believe again in doing the hard things that make our nation great, while inspiring youth through Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education and motivation.” In the upcoming weeks there will be much more news about the planned trip to Mars.

While we would usually think that cops were people who we could go to if we knew of a dangerous person on the lose, this past week it has actually been an ex cop who is putting people in danger. Christopher Dorner, an ex cop from Lost Angeles, California, was fired in 2009 for making some false accusations. Over the past few weeks he has plotted murders on some his his fellow police mates and there family. As of today, Dorner has already killed three people, one of them being to cop. There has been a 1 million dollar reward placed for anybody who is able to find Dorner, although nobody has had any luck yet. The current LAPD has made the search of Dorner a huge priority for everybody they could think of. Over 50 families have been placed under foverment protection because of what is happening. Most of these families are families with a cop in them. People are calling these shootings an act of domestic terrorism.
