Broadcasting Straight from Earth

This is Kevin McAllister from the NVCC. I've recently been assigned a mission, but not just any mission. I am to blog for the next 16 weeks. I'm not sure what dangers may lie ahead, or if I'll be able to accomplish this mission to appease my commander. But I will do everything that I can to survive...

I was volunteered for this mission. Why? Because it was something I had to do before I could progress further into my education. At first I was worried about how to blog or what to blog about. Then as I sat there and thought about it more I started to think what blogging really is. To me it is about expressing your feelings, your thoughts, your views on a topic. After looking up some reports on this mission that previous candidates have completed I thought to myself what would be a topic that really interested me and that could be an endless discussion. Endless. Something that goes on and on. Infinite. What comes to your mind? Well for me it was space.

Space is an important part of our life. Without it, many things wouldn't be possible today. Your NFL, NHL, soccer, and all sorts of other channels from your satellite dish wouldn't work. The intelligence committee wouldn't be able to gather as much intel on enemies as well. Cell phones wouldn't work well and you wouldn't be able to text anymore. Just about every electronic technology out there has some sort of space satellite that it uses to get information from one side of the world to the other. This is why I dedicated my time to talk about space.

My goal is to make space affect you. I want to make you really think about what goes on out there. I want you to visually make yourself on a planet and how it would look in your eyes. What might the ground feel like, the loneliness of being somewhere no one else has been or is, take into the consideration that there is a possibility for you to be standing where you're imagining because it isn't science fiction, it's physically there and real. I'm not really good on words at trying to convince you as if I were to talk about it with you in person but, I'm going to put as much heart into my writing so you can feel the intensity of space.

It's time for me to log off.
This is BE(blog entry) #1

  1. You really knocked this into space (out of the celestial park) on your introduction post! I love the theme of this post, the entertainment you bring to good work, and your writing. Your angle (the mission) was certainly catchy and appealing. I'm going to zoom through this comment so I can read your next post...
