Can you For many, space is a symbol of endlessimagine possibilities. Every year, scientists discover newvisiting planets with environments unlike anything theyanother could have imagined. We know these distantplanet? bodies have the potential to revolutionize science and make many people rich. The biggest questionOr even living is do they also have the potential to sustainon one? If it human life? There are currently two big ideaswere possible, about how humans could physically interact withwould you space: space tourism and colonization.choose todo it? Space tourism is already a growing industry. There are companies that let regular people experience space for fun. The biggest problem with space tourism right now is that it is incredibly expensive. But for a price, people can pay to experience space-like conditions. One of the cheapest options is called a zero-gravity flight. It uses a Boeing 727, a large airplane, to simulate the zero-gravity experience of space. Tourists can flip and float for about 20 minutes, thanks to the freefalling airplane. It is like space, but tourists don’t leave the atmosphere. One of these experiences costs around $5,000 per person. A one-week stay in space is $20 million. For now, only the very wealthy can afford these trips, but that used to be the same for cars. The more popular space trips become, the cheaper the technologies will get and the more people will be able to experience space. Colonizing space is different than space tourism. It’s relatively easy to keep a human alive in space for a short period of time; it is much harder the longer they stay off planet Earth. Most of the plans for colonization are focused on Mars because it is our closest neighbor. One of the most popular ideas about how to colonize Mars involves 3D printing. Instead of making everything on Earth and launching it all to Mars, the idea is to send a printer and use materials on Mars to make whatever the astronauts and colonists need. It is a much cheaper option and allows the colonists the opportunity to change designs based on what they learn. It will still take decades of planning and hard work, though. www.cnn.com/style/article/nasa-3d-printing-colony-mars/index.html MARCH 2018 www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-releases-plan-outlining-next-steps-in-the-journey-to-mars www.space.com/35850-spacex-private-moon-flight-nasa-reaction.html science.howstuffworks.com/space-tourism.htm4 www.kidsvillenews.com/cumberland

Cutural ConnectionsThe Smithsonian Institution The Smithsonian Institution is a museum and research complex. It is made up of 19 museums, nine research facilities and the National Zoo. It was established by and named after James Smithson. He was a British scientist. When he died, Smithson gave his wealth to the United States to create “an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge.” Congress debated over how this money should be used for 10 years, until 1846. No one is sure why the British scientist, who had never been to this country, left his money to America. However, with the fortune Smithson left, Congress created what became the largest museum complex in the world. Originally, the estate was valued at $500,000. Today that fortune would be worth $11 million. • Eleven of the 19 Smithsonian Museums are located on the National Mall. • The Smithsonian is nicknamed “The Nation’s Attic.” • 6,300 people work for the Smithsonian. • In 2015, more than 28 million people visited the Smithsonian Museums and the National Zoo. • Admission to all Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C., is free. • Smithsonian facilities are in Washington, D.C.; New York; Virginia; and Florida. • The National Zoo is home to 400 different species and 2,000 animals. • The Smithsonian Library holds two million volumes. • The archives have 156,830 cubic feet of archival material. • Lincoln’s pocket watch is in the Smithsonian. • Indiana Jones’ hat and jacket are on display there, too. The Smithsonian is nicknamed “The Nation’s Attic” because it stores so much information and valuable artifacts from America’s history. The museum has so many artifacts and specimens that there is not physically room for them all to be displayed. The Smithsonian stores and preserves around 154 million objects; 145 million are specimens and artifacts. The museums often rotate exhibits, but when items are not on display, they are either being researched or stored. Storing these objects is not always as easy as just packing them into a box. They need to be preserved for future generations, so the Smithsonian Museum Support Center was built. This is an off- site conservation facility. It has 12 miles of cabinets and holds 31 million objects. www.si.edu/about/history www.smithsonianmag.com/history/a-real-nations-attic-146080337/ mentalfloss.com/article/503433/12-facts-about-smithsonians-collections naturalhistory.si.edu/about/8 www.kidsvillenews.com/cumberland MARCH 2018

What's It Like to Be ... an adventurer? Trish Sare Please tell our readers a little bit about yourself. My name is Trish Sare. I’m the founder and owner of BikeHike Adventures in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I started BikeHike 24 years ago after spending seven years living abroad. My life is about experiences, much more so than accumulating things. I am also passionate about animals, especially furry felines. What do you love most about traveling/adventuring? I love exploring new lands, meeting the local people and learning about their cultures. Adventure travel enriches one’s life and opens us up to how others in the world live. I also love to be active and challenge myself with new activities. Why is it important to travel and see and do new things? To gain an appreciation for other cultures and the world and experience how other people live in developing and developed countries. To never experience other lands besides home will make for a very insular and sheltered perspective of the world. There are so many different landscapes, cultures, religions, types of flora and fauna, languages, cuisines and political systems to be exposed to. International travel gives one a well-rounded worldview. What is something you wish everyone knew about traveling? In my opinion, it is one of the best educations that one can have in their lifetime. It is not learning from a book but experiencing firsthand. It is also a great opportunity to meet people. People tend to be much more open when they travel compared to when they are at home. Conversations flow much easier. Also, it’s easy to travel, especially today with the digital world offering so much information. Just always ensure to have your street smarts when traveling into foreign lands. If you could travel to another planet, would you? Right now, I don’t think that I would go to live on another planet. I find it rather intimidating to travel through space to get to another planet. It’s just a little too far from home and takes me out of my comfort zone too much. However, as we learn more about space travel and develop safer and speedier passages to get there, my views on this may change. One day I may look at space travel the same way (I view) traveling to another country.MARCH 2018 www.kidsvillenews.com/cumberland 9

His family tries to prove his parts of this film are all of the innocence, but they don’t have much jokes throughout it. They are so evidence. funny and sarcastic. The moral of this story is to be kind and positive so that life will be kind and positive to you. Throughout all the hardships Paddington goes through, he stays positive, remains kind and eventually, everything becomes right in the end. “Paddington 2” is such an amazing film to watch with your whole family. I give it 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 3 to 18, as well as adults.22 www.kidsvillenews.com/cumberland MARCH 2018
