I’m so excited for what is ahead of me.
I hope it’s contagious.
Am I right or am I wrong? To be censored or to be guided- that is the question.
A Hole in Mars

Back in 2007, black spots were discovered on Mars that are so dark that nothing inside can be seen. Quite possibly, the spots are entrances to deep underground caves capable of protecting Martian life, were it to exist.
The unusual hole pictured above was found on the slopes of the giant Martian volcano Arsia Mons. The above image was captured three weeks ago by the HiRISE instrument onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter currently circling Mars.
The holes were originally identified on lower resolution images from the Mars Odyssey spacecraft, The above hole is about the size of a football field and is so deep that it is completely unilluminated by the Sun. Such holes and underground caves might be prime targets for future spacecraft, robots, and even the next generation of human interplanetary explorers.
I am close to tears over what I just wrote in my graduation speech. Hopefully my words will move my fellow classmates as much as they have moved me.
One would think that after living on this planet for 18 years you’d be capable of thinking and doing things on your own, but unfortunately, that is nothing more than a false hope.
One of the most powerful pieces I have ever read. It was written by Marina Keegan, a Yale student who died in a car accident five days after graduating.
