We (NASA) have recently discovered the "face" on Mars which has been a big thing since we gave the information out to the world. A lot of people think it's an actual face created by aliens because the time before we discovered it it was foggy up on Mars so they think aliens must have did it then. Do you think it's a ...

I think that driverless cars would be a bad idea. I say this because people got their license for a reason, so they could drive. It says in the text that it would alert the driver when to take control, what if the person sitting in the drivers seat wasn't paying attention and the car wrecked? Then what would happen? My...

The Electoral College vote is a somewhat a confusing process with the voter not voting for the president, but electors who elect the president.

I like this feature. I'd consider it very helpful on both computers and robots. Regarding robots, I wonder if Baymax from Disney's "Big Hero 6" had something like it. He was like a robotic nurse as explained by the main character. However, it wouldn't work in concrete tunnels. Regarding computers, if the feature could...

Venuse is a worthy pursuite despite the dangers because NASSA would get to find out about are twin planted but there are some challges and riskes, like spacecraft have only lasted a few hours or like a thick atmosphere of 97 percent carbon dioxide blackes venuse and Venus has the hottest surface temperature. These are ...

To the author, the limitations that exploring venus brings, should not be enough to kill the curiosity that many of us have.

The "Face on Mars" has since become a pop icon. It has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows- even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years.

I think that hes right because no body knows about Venus and people would want to know more about it. people can learn what Venus has and how things live there. you are going have to know because theres no oxygen there so you have to take a oxygen tank.

I think that driverless cars should be used, because they have many thing such as sensors, smart road systems, driver mimicry and more .

Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit because us human beings love to study more than our planet .

Venus' average temperature of over eight hundred, clouds of sulfuric acid, and great atmospheric pressure makes it highly unlikey for inhabbitting. Despite these conditions, it is considered Earth's twin. This is because of the similar size and density of the two planets. For these reasons, and more, the exploration of...

I think it will be a bad idea because, the auto mechanuics will lose alot of there jobs because they would have to go back to college in order to know how to fix these new cars.

I believe that "Driverless Cars" are the next big thing to this world. Millions of people use cars today and have a chance of injury or worse. If a car could drive itself or be more alert of things around it, the problem of crashing wouldn't be there anymore. The beginning of driverless cars is already here so why be a...

Why do we keep this despised method of choosing the president when 60% of American citizens want a popular vote instead? This is an outdated method and viewed as anachronism by many.
