By: Sam Wilmeth  In the last few years, I have gone from looking at the moon through my first telescope to seeing hundreds of photos coming from the James Webb Space Telescope of stars and galaxies more distant than what I could have imagined possible.
While Mars might not make it on the list of incredible celestial objects, at least when distance is concerned, it should not be lost on us that the first person to step foot on Mars and travel further than any other human in history is likely alive today. Many of us want to make it to space and feel first hand what the dawn of the space age is like. Organizations such as NASA hope that manned missions will begin within the coming decades, and private companies like SpaceX have made it their goal to build a civilization on Mars. And I can’t wait.
