Space Exploration

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. You have always heard this saying because your mother is a scientist studying space and your father is an astronaut. Your parents gave you your love of space. From a young age you have been consuming all the info you can about space. You have also been studying to be a scientist. You had the little science kits and as you entered your early teens you would read whole science textbooks. You have always wondered if you can hear a scream in space and the science behind it.

In High School you took all AP classes from 9th to 11th grade. You graduated early and had enough credits that you had your core classes done. When you entered college, you had a triple major. They were Math, Science, and Psychology. For Math your focus was Statistics. For Science it was Space Physics. For Psychology it was Cognitive Psychology. You did the impossible. You graduated with a masters in all three in three years. The way you did it was that you would read the textbook and take the final exam without all the class time.

For the master's it took you a year to get all three-thesis ready and presented. Your thesis for Stats was How Stats is used to promote other Sciences and Research. For Physics it was the Study of Black Holes and their Magnetic pull-on objects. For Psychology it was How does space affect a person mentally. You used your parents as case studies.

You get a job at NASA as a researcher. You are put in charge of sounds. All the sounds that come from space. You are also monitoring the crew on the Space Station.

You have few friends because of how fast you graduated. The friends you do have are just as motivated and let's call it what it is just as crazy as you are. What you did is insane. You have people from all three of your majors that you have become friends with. You helped them study and get through the program faster than they normally would have.

One of your friends follows you to NASA. The other gets a job at a place that is exploring going to mars and beyond. You and the World do not know it yet, but you three will be the futures only hope.

You work your way up to Head of Research at NASA. You are in charge of making sure all the studies are right. This includes the studies they are doing on the Space Station and the Moon. There is a lot of research happening on the Moon. They are trying to make it livable.

Your friend tells you that they are close to sending people to Mars. You cannot wait to start analyzing the data your friend's company receives.

Your friend that followed you to NASA is in charge of the Moon project. So far, they have figured out how to make water on the Moon. They have also set up Greenhouses and living quarters. They are trying to figure out how to live outside without equipment. They have suggested putting a big barrier over the Moon and start making the oxygen we need to live. The other suggestion is to build the buildings and cities where everything connects, and no one has to go outside. The only time they will need to go outside is for repairs and to explore.

You are all doing well in your jobs. Then one day you and your friend are called into a meeting. When you enter the room, you see your other friend. You are both wondering what they are doing here. Your boss walks in and tells everyone to have a seat. He begins by telling everyone that an exciting opportunity has come up and that you three were chosen because of your skill and because you are all single with no kids. With your background in Space Physics and your other friends background in Pharmacy and Chemistry and Biology. They tell you that you three are the last hope for Humanity.

You three are the perfect combination of knowledge and skill for this mission. Everyone says yes before you even hear what the mission is. They tell you that you will be going to the edge of

Space and doing research and experiments. They want you to make as many discoveries as possible before coming back.

As the three of you prepare to leave you are wondering how long you will be gone, what discoveries you will make, and what the world will look like when you get back.
