The Future Is Far Away!
Alyssa Carson is a teenager and she already has a big dream for her future. If her dream comes true, she'll fly into space. But she doesn't want to orbit the Earth on the space station or go to the moon. Alyssa wants to travel to Mars, the red planet.
So, is this just a dream? No. Alyssa made the decision when she was three years old because the idea was exciting and "no one's been there". After that she read lots of books on Mars and attended her first space camp when she was seven. Since then, she's learned a lot about travelling to other planets. It's an expensive trip which requires many years of training. This is a problem for Alyssa's family, but her parents try to support her because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. Alyssa believes we are the Mars generation and that the mission(飞行任务) to Mars will help us get to know the planet better.
More than 100,000 people have already applied(申请) for a journey to Mars. If they pass the tests, like Alyssa, they will start a training programme. She has a certificate(证书) in scuba diving and is already working on her pilot's licence. Both these things, as well as a certificate in skydiving, are important for an astronaut's training. And it's necessary to speak several languages if you want to be an astronaut. Alyssa speaks Spanish, French, Chinese and some Turkish, so this should be enough!
Only a few people can go on the first Mars mission. The flight to Mars won't be easy. They will spend hundreds of days together in a very tight space! So, if you were an astronaut on Mars, what would life be like? You would live in an extremely small space called a "pod" and you would wear a space suit all the time. If you made a phone call home, it would take half an hour for the sound to reach the Earth! Also, if you got ill, there wouldn't be any hospitals. Life wouldn't be as easy, that's for sure! But it would be really exciting.
