"Mission Update"

      Throughout this week, we read the blog "Mission Update." The speaker of this blog is Steven Squyres. He is blogging about his experiences and excitement of the landing of Opportunity. The blog  is in 2006, during the landing on Mars. Clearly, the audience of this story is the world. Anyone on the Internet can be interested and read his blog. His whole purpose was to inform and to attract the audience's attention. The subject of the blog is the life on Mars, and the landing of Opportunity. Finally, throughout the entire blog his tone was excitement.

      The overall idea of this blog was to show Squyres's enthusiasm about the landing of Opportunity. Writing about his emotions about the events that occurred  must have been an amazing experience, especially because he was in space. We are extremely lucky, to have read this blog, because we saw the perspective of Squyres and how exciting it really is to be in space.  The most fascinating fact, was when the speaker was explaining the view of Mars. He was awestruck. This makes the reader want to go online and see some amazing pictures of Mars.
