Driverless cars are and should be the future. We wouldn't have to worry about that one guy driving red lights and aciddently smashing into another person. But what if I told you that people could still crash even without doing that and the driver would still be blamed. Cars are easlily hacked nowadays. In early 2010's ...

In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit. However, some are not aware of the dangers of exploring Venus.

Would an "Facial Action Coding System" be useful in a classroom? No, I believe it would be too troublesome for just a classroom full of students trying to learn.

There is absolutely no way that the "face" on Mars was made by aliens. Some people and very few scientists think this landform was made by aliens on Mars. When you think about it,it is not logical.

Driverless cars would be a good source for people to have. It would be a very helpful thing, we would use less of our time to drive than the time we do today.

They should change it to election by popular vote. Just because the electoral college is not divided evenly through out the states.

Limiting car usage can be very helpful not only to our environment, but to our culture. Our ozone is slowly getting worse and worse every year.
