Space Exploration and Steps to Get Their W2

Currently NASA has been trying many things to complete their vision of deep space exploration. But first in order for them to go that far, they need to explore their own solar system. In the article Mock lunar landers set to compete for $1 million prize, an aerospace team competed for mock tests of lunar probes that can launch off certain objects and if they can stay afloat for a certain amount of time and land in a specified area. Then, NASA wants to switch from using metric to imperial measurement units. In the article NASA criticised for sticking to imperial units, NASA is being critized by multiple groups for this change. "We in the private sector are doing everything possible to create a global market with as much commonality and interoperability as possible," says Mike Gold of the US firm Bigelow Aerospace, which hopes to fly commercial space stations in orbit. "But NASA still can't make the jump to metric." After that, with NASA now trying to discover hidden secrets of Mars, two rovers which are sitting in the dust, discovered an moving object on the surface. This piece of news came from the article, Space robot 2.0:Smarter than the average rover. Now at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, they are trying to figure te object that the rovers spotted moving. Once they complete this, the program feels as if they have taken a big step towards reaching their dream of space exploration.
