In the first 100 days of Joe Biden’s presidency thing will resume their normal course. The rough decision making that was a hallmark of Trump has officially been put to rest. However the republican party is very much standing in the shadow of trump and the decisions made by the house and senate republicans will be a thorn in Biden’s leg. There will be no rest for the democrats just as they need peace. Gaining power is not as simple as just winning the election. But just as the democrats start to get to grips with the problems facing the United States. Trump is planning on making MAGA an organisation.
I fear that trump will resurface to force the republican party to bow to his supporters so that they again gain the presidency. And this would seem true as trump might be rendered out of the race by legal means. If MAGA does encourage his followers to join then we will see the resurgence of the right wing politics that we saw when trump was president. But we must go forwards with hope and that we must not dwell on these matters while Biden is in office. Because all could change in 2024. And we could see the first women president Kamala Harris being elected.
To Boldly Go Where No Technology Has Been Before! 3/3/21
Well NASA has made history by sending their perseverance Mars Rover to the surface of Mars. And it was successful! It now will drill down on the surface of mars to find out if there was life on the red planet. These will be collected at some future point and brought back to earth for evaluation. This is an exciting mission because also the rover will also take pictures of the landscape. There is also a helicopter to fly around in the atmosphere to take images of the surface. And! that is not all. The lander has microphones so that the noise of mars can be heard for the first time.
There has been nothing like this before. All the experiments have been set up so that we can learn more of what mars is like. Before with curiosity the rover was a question of touch and go. It could have had a disaster on landing and never gave us the information on what we have based this mission on. Landing on another planet does rely on the technology going ahead as planned. Because if that played up then there was no way of recovery. Mars is a long way out and it would have set the project back many years. But! here we are.
