“I’m ready”, said Alyssna Carson, a 17-year-old girl from Louisiana,US. She is taking an astronaut-in-taking training. She is a great and lucky girl. If all goes according to her plans, NASA* will send her to Mars* in 2033, making her the first human to step foot on the planet. She will spend two to three years doing something on it, growing food, performing a science experiments, and searching for signs of life. “The Martian is actually very amazing,” she said, “I saw a lot of things in the movies and they are going to happen.

__________. When she was 3 years old, she watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans.It’s about many adventures in their backyard including one part to Mars. “I thought this red planet is so cool,” she said, “I started watching videos of rovers landing on Mars, I had a large map of Mars in my room. I started getting telescopes *so I could look at space.”

At 7 her father took her to U. S. Space Camp in Huntsville Alabama. “That was the weekend of my life,” she said. “I got to learn everything I had been wanting to know and more. I got to see a life-size rocket.” She was crazy about the rocket so much that she returned I8 times. At the age of 12 she became the first person in history to attend all three NASA space camps. Then she started to learn about the basics of space and how humans have over explored it. As she got older she started trying to reach a gravity-free zones, a situation like in Mars.

When she was 9 she met NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus. The experienced astronaut told her she was the same age as her when she decided to go to space. At that moment Alyssa knew her love of space was not a passing hobby. “I did the same thing as other kids, like thinking about the future jobs, wanting to be a teacher or the president one day,” she said, “But the way I always thought about it was I would become an astronaut, go to Mars, come back, and then be a teacher or the president.
