Today is my high school graduation. I will have passed 12 years of general education to get a diploma, and our government thinks that I'm smart enough to be benificial to society now and thus need no more required schooling. It doesn't feel like that special of a day, even though it closes an era in my life. I guess on the school side it feels like just another break from school, because I'll be right back at it this fall in college. And I can't say I've always had pleasant memories from my school days, although these last few years have been pretty good. School has gone by so much faster than I thought it would, it feels as though I should still be a sophmore or something, and that elementary wasn't that far back. It just goes by so fast. So incredibly fast.
NASA is considering building a new facility to house rocks from Mars that it plans to maybe get in 2014. They're not only worried about any potential "bad" life on the rocks that they bring back, but also worried about contamination from earth of the rocks, thus giving a false-positive of life on Mars. It'd be really cool though if there were life on Mars.
Has it really been 12 years?
