"Mission Update"

The short story that had made me even more interested about the galaxy was "Mission Update". The author of this story is Steven Squyers. It has been written during 2006, on Mars. Steven Squyers, an astronaut, thought of a fascinating way to interest and inform people throughout the web. He had landed on Mars with the crater Oppurtunity. Throughout the story, the reader can sense the excitement that Steven had experienced. By expressing one's feelings through writing, it can help others fit themselves in the author's shoes. This is also a way to astray the reader from boredom. 

Steven Squyres wrote all his information on a blog from space. This by itself can help catch the reader's attention. By doing the unusual, people become more curious about the topic one is talking about. His intention in this case, is to provide this information with the world, since it is displayed on the internet. By writing about personal experiences about Mars, readers may have the urge to do more research about Mars and the galaxy overall. His blog entry was written in chronological order, which makes one want to know what happens next. Throughout the blog entry, Squyers kept his tone exciting and amusing. Overall, this story made me want to do more research about the galaxy.
