How to use your Mind to Time Travel
Mental time travel refers to the ability of the human mind to simulate past and future events, allowing us to recall memories, reflect on experiences, and plan for the future. This capacity is seen as a fundamental aspect of human cognition and is closely tied to various cognitive and emotional processes, such as memory, decision making, and well-being.

The Mission Mars
Elon Musk's mission to Mars refers to his plans, as outlined by SpaceX (a company founded by Musk), to establish a human colony on the Red Planet. This goal is part of SpaceX's overall vision to make humanity a multi-planetary species. The company is developing the Starship spacecraft to transport people and cargo to Mars and has made several successful test launches. However, no timeline has been set for a human mission to Mars, as the company is still working on making the technology reliable and safe.

First Contact
Since the beginnings of popular science fiction, the idea of any initial meetings between humans and extraterrestrials have happened overwhelmingly on Earth. From Well's The War of the Worlds, in which the Martians attack, to Clarke's Childhood's End, an attempt at peaceful utopia under alien overlords, the extraterrestrials have come to Earth with more technology, more knowledge, and always, always, more firepower. Whether it's peaceful Vulcans shaking hands with Zefram Cochrane, or multiple fifteen mile wide saucers being deployed over major Earth cities, it is what we Earthlings have come to expect. If you believe in intelligent alien life, you instinctively believe it will eventually come to us.
