For those reading this from Nigeria or ex where around the world, the reality of life remains that things impossible works out for those who not only believe that is possible but works effectively for a common goal


It will interest you to know that two weeks ago, somewhere in the world, United States presently. NASA's perseverance rover landed on Mars after a journey of 300 million miles in nearly 7 months.


To many of us, it's like the rover just went on a straight line to Mars and that was it! No way!!! Mars and Earth are both orbiting around the sun, that's in a layman-like me language, Mars and Earth are both going in a circle around the sun at a different speed.

Mars is a bit slower than Earth and when you launch a spacecraft, you can decide to get to Mars faster than 7 months, but then, that would mean the spacecraft would need to be lighter and not have all the devices you want it to have to study Mars.

You can also decide that you will send a heavy spacecraft that will take longer and use more fuel to get to Mars. Since Mars and Earth are all orbiting around the sun, what is interesting is when perseverance left Earth 7 months ago, Mars may not have been in the same position it was when perseverance landed there two weeks ago.

That means, if you go too fast, you may miss Mars and if you go too slow, you may miss Mars. What you do is to calculate that when perseverance reaches point B in 7 months, that's exactly where Mars would be!! And so perseverance took a longer route with more devices and fuel, and when it got there, Mars was in the right position to land! Amazing!

And there landed in Mars and now studying Mars.... while the Government in my country are busy promoting tribal war, terrorism, negotiating with bandits and terrorist

The reality is when Nigeria refuses to help us, this doesn't mean we should not help our self, always look for ways to help ourselves, strive to make new. make history in your big or little ways

American adventurism taken trans planetory. This is how the days of Christopher Columbus was wen countries dey explore new lands for economic fortune. One day for this same Earth we go hear America begin dey declare say so so so planet na their new planetory territory and of such no foreign space vehicle is welcomed in those territory. before u go know China, Russia, India and Iran go denounce such imperialism and opportunism and then war go start for space wen China will launch their own probe towards towards Americans probes and the USA go shoot am down. ghen ghen world war III na for space o. No wonder Trump been see am create space force for the USA.

Yeah I know but think about this; Most wars have always been fought on d basis of economic adventurism in foreign territories and the disagreements arising from unfair sharing of this resources. remember WW1 and WW2. Remember the British and french wars in Asia and middle East; remember Japanese wars of aggression in Asia for control of economic resources; remember the American adventurism in Asia and Europe due to economic resources; also the king of Spain militarily commissioned Christopher Columbus to the new world to conquer them for economic exploits. truth is man will always fight for wat he wants: and that is money, wealth and pvssy
Who knows one day America will start getting jealous of other countries launching their probe to Mars and other planets, fearing competition they will annex and carve out space planets as their own by right of first touch-down. Russia and China and Iran will denounce this and call it aggression in space and declare that any attack on it's interest will be met with equal attacks. before u know NATO go issue proclamations of their rights to secure trans Atlantic interest in space from asian powers and like that, battle confrontations go sure. Trump saw all this, he prepared his country ahead to lead and be strong.

And yet the are plans by some countries to undo other countries economically and finally lead to their collapse. don't be deceived, war is possible at any time. Remember the have been several war since WW2. It takes only man selfish interests, over-confidence and miscalculation to go to war with another country.

That's an actually extremely racist comment. because it reeks of ignorance and white colonialism. Do a proper research into the very institute called NASA and you'd find out that major breakthroughs like the early Telescopic mirrors, the nuclear fission energy used to power spaceships, the GPS tracking system and the radar navigation system, which led to all these space exploration shit was first built by black men.

it will be almost impossible for any country to go to war now. Times have changed. But, wars were used for economic and population check, since wars are over, the latest upgrade is diseases, corona was a test, expect worse diseases in years to come.

Well I agree that wars are too costly now but mind u, the only reason war is costly and a bad idea now to the imperialist west now is because of the military power of the eastern blocks, talk about Russia, China, India, and upcoming Iran. If and when the achieve a strategic advantage over this countries militarily then war is not ruled out. the makers of war are like the makers of rain. the don't get beaten by the rain the instigate. the can stay out the storm in a comfortable mamsion. so don't be deceived, man is greedy and it is only this greed that makes him to break bounds, to seek d impossible anywhere. Where greedy men are involved, WAR is only inevitable.

yea, you're 100% right, but with the way things are going the west can never have an advantage over the east especially russia and china, power has changed hands, those two countries are the future.

I agree but then there's an ongoing clandestine war now against those two countries that is intended to weaken it economically or militarily....it's as deadly as the combatant war.
