The first sound sent from Mars

The latest article I’ve read is written by Sophie Lewis from CBS News. It’s about the first sound ever recorded on other planets and sent back. The new Perseverance rover that landed on Mars a few days ago is responsible for this achievement.   

It doesn’t matter what people might think, I consider this a great feat. For many years we have only been able to see photos sent by rovers or other devices from other planets, but now we can finally hear a recorded sound. We also know that the latest rover is the most advanced model that NASA has ever created. I’m sure that it will do even more exciting things. For example, it contains a small helicopter, which will check, if Mars’s atmosphere is dense enough to fly in it. This information will surely be useful for the colony that Elon Musk is planning to create on the red planet.

    I've just listened to it. Is it special because we didn't expect wind to be there on Mars?

Observation No. 3

 While I was in a shop recently, I noticed that there were already some products related to Christmas on shelves like sweets and decorations, even Christmas trees.  This is not anything new and surprising, it happens every year, however I do not know how to feel about it. I guess that it's kind of annoying because it's still significantly over a month left until Christmas and people have other problems to deal with currently. It makes me angry when I'm reminded that there are still a lot of things to do before December comes, many of which are definitely unpleasant. Moreover, waiting for 2 months makes Christmas feel even faster, you wait for so long working hard, and then it passes faster than a blink of an eye. And you return to the grey reality. In my opinion those companies should start advertising Christmas once December begins but not earlier.

Ban on assault weapons in the US. Would it be a good thing?

 Yesterday, I read a few weeks old article from the BBC about the US president's plan regarding the ban on assault weapons. He wants it due to mass shootings (especially the most recent ones). President Biden reminds that when such a ban was brought in 1994, it really helped to bring down these incidents. In my opinion background checking and ban on the most deadly types of weapons is a good thing. It's the government's obligation to do anything they can to stop violence and mass killings. However, the president should remember not to push it any further. He shouldn't forbid to have weapons completely. It's American's right to have them, it's their freedom. In some states people live far from civilization, and especially they need to have the opportunity to defend themselves and their land in situations when it's required.  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56509481

Observation No. 4

This weekend I noticed that there are a lot of people in the forest near my house. Of course, not as much as in a town, however just a few years ago, while on a walk there you wouldn't bump into someone else so often.  It is definitely related to pandemics. It's understandable that no one wants to stay at home forever and those who are scared of being infected in overcrowded cities look for replacements such as forests, but it gives the opposite results. Now I feel that the forests became overcrowded. It also has its consequences, more uneducated people in a forest, means more trash and pollution there. With all those disadvantages however, I don't think anything can be done right now. I guess that you can never hide from people these days, you should just stop trying.
