Time Capsule Artifacts

Improved Essays
Thank you for choosing our school to select three artifacts for a time capsule that will be taken to Mars on the next space mission. Each student in the ninth grade has identified three artifacts to send into outer space. My artifacts include a Drake CD, a hoverboard, and the Hunger Games book series.

Think about all the future generations that would be so thrilled to see an ancient hoverboard that their ancestors’ used. The rolling, rectangular mini-scooter is used by pressing your feet backwards or forwards to move. To spin in circles, you can press down backwards with one foot, and forwards with the other. There really is no point to using this device, but it explains what our generation is all about- fun. At this time in the future, people would probably have already invented hoverboards that can actually hover. They might still want to know what level of technology their ancestors’ were at, though.

Another artifact I would send would be a Drake CD. Our future population needs to be educated on what excellent music was in the 2000’s. Drake will no longer be alive in this time, but maybe they will bring his music back. They probably won’t know what the grey compact disk is used for, but we can send

They won’t understand what the many sheets with words on them are used for, but hopefully they will understand how to read it. People in the future will not feel the need to cut down trees, and print books if they have enough technology to just use devices. If these people have figured out how to get to the Mars Time Capsule, then they will surely have figured out how to replace things with digital devices. The Hunger Games series is also a popular series about unfair treatment and war, but in a thrilling way. I think it would be a good book for these people from the future to read, hopefully so they don’t start any more

    The objects that I were assigned were the Bandolier bag from the Native American Delaware Tribe, and the Painted elk hide from the Easter Shoshone tribe. Bandolier bags were extremely popular among most Native American tribes, and each tribe expressed their culture through them in a different way. This particular Bandolier bag comes from the Delaware, or Lenape, Tribe. It is estimated that it was created around 1850 C.E., and is crafted with beads on leather hide. This object has two components to it, one being the shoulder drape and the other being the small bag.…

    2030 Mission To Mars

    I selected this particular topic, because I have always had an interest in the “2030 Mission to Mars”, and as a child, I dreamt of being one of the few selected for this historical mission to Mars. Therefore, it immediately came to my mind when the prompt mentioned 2040; mainly due to the fact that if colonists land on Mars around 2030, then it will take years of production to establish a sustainable colony (environment with renewable resources). At last, I trust that it will be of great interest to the people of the United States around the years of 2040.…

    Science Fiction Writing: Fiction or Prediction? Much like a window into our future’s worst nightmares, the science fiction genre allows one to get that “based on a true story” horror movie feel for what could happen to the world we know. The books and stories that fall upon this category are not supposed to be a foolproof, flawless prediction of the daily lives of future generations, but do often hold some truth in the erratic world of tomorrow since they are frequently based on real events. Science fiction writings often place the reader into a post-apocalyptic, dystopian society which has been molded from stretched truths of what is going on in the present today. Science fiction writing allows writers to adumbrate our universe’s future through…
