In the year 2020, there was a young man named Cooper Armstrong, he is 25 years old and is enlisted in the United States Air Force. His grandfather was Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon. He was inspired by his grandfather to become an Astronaut. He had a dream to land on Mars and become the third man on Mars.

Nate pointed out, “hey is that the president of NASA?” I said, “Yeah that’s him alright.” He came up to the podium and started speaking. “On behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration we would like to pick seven pilots to go to Mars in nine months.” “Here are the names we have Kamiron Taylor, Cooper Armstrong, Kody Little, Will Siver, Lucas Missall, Tyson Bently, and Nathan Preece.” They were all shocked. “Please come up to the stage.” We got up and went to the stage. “Give these pilots a round of applause.” “This can’t be happening!” I whispered. A NASA technician came to us and said we are leaving at four o’clock today to go to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. They went back to their rooms and started packing. Cooper said, “This is so cool guys!” They all hurried out of their rooms to the NASA van waiting outside the base. The Technician said, “Hop on Y’all.” They jumped on quickly. They got to the airport and boarded a private jet that said”NASA” on the side of the jet in bold letters. The cabin looked luxurious, and it also had a bar. They all settled in and they went for a few drinks. They celebrated for three straight hours of being picked to go to Mars. Everyone went to sleep in their chairs except for Cooper.

There they were greeted by the president of NASA. Cooper drooped everything and went up to him and shook his hand. “It is an honor to meet your sir!” Cooper said in excitement. “It’s great to finally meet you pilots.” The president of NASA said. “My name is Charles F. Bolden.” “Nice to meet you Mr. Bolden.” “Please call me Charles” “Are you sure sir.” “Yes I’m sure” “What’s your name?” “Armstrong sir, Cooper Armstrong.” “My great grandfather is Neil Armstrong.” “Wow, that’s cool!” “Thank you sir.” “Now let’s go take you to my office.” They entered the building, it was bigger than an airplane hanger. They got to his office and sat down. “You have been chosen to launch to Mars in nine months.” “You, Cooper will be the third man to ever step foot on Mars.” Then his adviser came into the office and whispered in his ear.
