 Today, Discovery ended its career as the world's most flown spaceship , returning from orbit for the last time.Endeavour and Atlantis will make their final voyages in the coming months,but Discovery will still hold the all-time record with 39 missions, 148 million miles, 5,830 orbits of Earth, and 365 days spent in space.All this was done in under 27 years.  NASA estimates it will take several months of work: removing the three main engines and draining all hazardous fuels before Discovery is ready to go to the Smithsonian Institution. It will make a 750-mile journey strapped to the top of a jumbo jet. Future goals are to send astronauts to an asteroid and then Mars in the decades ahead. There is not enough money for NASA to achieve that and maintain the shuttle program at the same time.So the shuttles will stop flying this summer after 30 years. RESPONSE: As a little child I was interested in space travel and other planets. This marks the beginning of the futur...

 Twenty-One year old Marisol Valles has been fired from her job when she didn't show up at work this morning. She was the police chief of the violent town in Mexico called Praxedis G. Guerrero. She is reportedly seeking an asylum in the United States after receiving death threats from drug cartels. Though she may have difficulty making an asylum case, since U.S immigration officials  are most likely to such requests if the person has political threats to their life and well being. Valles was held the bravest woman in Mexico for agreeing to lead the police force when no one applied in October. Despite the fact that other city officials have been beheaded by local drug gangs. Her goals where to focus on administrative tasks and community building, but not deal with the drug dealers.Regardless, she reportedly became the target of an intimidation campaign. Mexican papers on Friday said that Valles fled the country seeking an asylum. City officials also released a statement claimin...

For 2 months, protests have been breaking out in the Middle East, starting with Egypt then Libya and other countries. These protests often result in some countries, death, like in Iraq. Protests in Libya have resulted in the loss of human life and  a high rise in oil prices. Some of the up risings have lead to separating sides(government, government supporters against people)like in Libya.While in Egypt,it has been rather peaceful as its leader has stepped down. Response: There will be a sure shortage in oil in the near future. The Middle is likely to erupt into wars, which will re-define their governments and policies.

Which why everyone is so concerned now about the Middle East. Without oil...
