NASA, a New Conquest

NASA scientists will be able to make a new type of spaceship soon in which the future astronauts will be a new generation of robots. These robots might well go on missions of exploration to Mars. They may communicate with NASA specialists because they will speak English. These new robots will carry with them a more sophisticated robot called Hyperion. It might well work 24 hours a day because it runs with solar energy. It will find continuous sunlight in the polar regions of the planet Mars. So, it might run fast on rocks. Hyperion might take accurate pictures of the planet surface and of universe. Mars won’t be a secret no more!
