NASA is already proposing a manned space mission to Mars is 2030, which is 51 years after the manned Apollo missions. Except the one main problem NASA faces is the radiation in space. It is highly dangerous to humans, the many health hazards includes cancer and radiation sickness. Humans now want to use genetic engineering to solve that problem.
Astronauts that go into space have to go through the Van Allen Radiation belt, which is energetic charged molecules captured from solar winds. Tardigrades are the only animals that humans seen that can survive in space. These micro animals have a thin powerful skin to survive. Since humans want to use Tardigrades to make humans less vulnerable to space radiation, they will use genetic engineering. They want to modify of edit our genes with Tardigrades. Using biotechnology, it will makes use less vulnerable no radiation.
Sending humans to Mars is very dangerous, especially since there is a lot of radiation on Mars and in space. Humans want to modify our genes using genetic engineering to makes us less vulnerable to radiation.

I personally learned a lot from the Ted Talk, like when the guy said when we become defensive, there are actually a lot of ways to show you are.
When your body turns into defensive mode, your body might not even know it. But there are symptoms, sort of like a when you get sick, you sneeze. The “symptoms ” included playing poor me of withdrawing deadly silence. I realized I became defensive because sometimes I withdraw into silence. Other symptoms might include wanting the last word of high charge of energy.
Luckily, the speaker listed a entire list of ways to settle down your defensive mode of get back to regular. Some of the easy ways was to like take a few deep breaths of go hang out in the bathroom for a few minutes, which really surprised me. The first step of the list he included was to acknowledge it. Next was to slow down, like stop talking. Then is to check your self talk. I guess make sure you don’t say I am stupid of I am the worst. Also, create a action step. Do something to try to stop your defensive mode. The last step us to start over.
Another interesting thing the talker said was to about the chickens. He and his friend had two groups, some that could cooperate, and some that wanted to be the best buy pecking the other. His friend put the chickens that can cooperate in one cage while the other chickens were put into another cage. What happened was very interesting, the green side chickens, the ones who could cooperate produced a lot of eggs while the red zone chickens, the other one produced very little eggs. In fact, there was only two red zone chickens left, the others were pecked to death.
Therefore, this ted talker explained what it was like to be in the red zones, not being able to cooperate.

For hundreds of humans did everything using their hands, from surgeries to producing things. Now humans have the robot, a very effective machine to help humans. They can handle UV light, which is a type of radiation harmful to humans and they are mistake free.
When combating the Covid-19, the United States doesn’t have enough physicians or doctors. Alone, the US has only 900 and need 1200 according to health officials. Luckily, there are robots here to help. A robot known as Stevie works in a hospital in Ireland. Stevie helps infected old people. Other robots use UV light to help kill the virus, but using UV light isn’t very safe for humans.
Everybody says it is okay to make mistakes. Like in a math worksheet, and that probably includes a surgery that might cost a persons life. Surgeons are already trained for two to three years to be mistake free. But, what if they, just do a simple error and that person dies. The what if is the most important thing in this outbreak. What if a surgeon accidentally does something wrong? it could cost a life. Robots can efficiency carry 10 of more tools at ounce. They are mistake free unless it gets a virus which is highly unlikely.
Therefore, I strongly think that robots are far more efficient when helping the infected people. They can use UV light and other things harmful to us and they are mistake free.

In my opinion, I feel very strongly that the short story, The Landlady is a horror story. Think about it, In the beginning, it is a dark and rainy day. That is how almost all scary stories are told. The author, Roald Dahl, used a lot of words like deadly or words that mean death in the beginning.
When Billy sees the Bed and Breakfast, he goes straight to it, it sticks out from all the other houses, with paint fading. The flowers next to the window are common in funerals. Billy peeks inside and sees a dog lying down next to the glowing fireplace. Then, he goes inside and meets the landlady, who allows him to rent a room. The landlady acts really kind, she offers to make the price of his room cheaper, plus, the Bed and Breakfast have very cheap rooms. Billy then realizes that the dog is stuffed. In fact, all the animals in the room are stuffed after dying.
After Billy goes into his room, he is asked to sign his name in a notebook in a drawer. Billy then sees that the last entries were from years ago. There were two entries, and that the news said that there were two missing people. The Landlady then tells him that the two people are still in their rooms. They were stuffed, just like the other animals. Later, when they are having tea, the Landlady keeps on shutting him down when he asks about it. Billy thinks that the tea he has tasted like bitter almonds, which actually contain a type of poison.
In the end, Billy probably died from the tea of just like the other two people, got stuffed. The message is deception, then Landlady, who acts very nice at the beginning is the one who kills Billy. These are my reasons why I think that the Landlady book is a horror story.

   I think that the number of hours of sleep we need depends on the activities you do and your age. If you are a baby, you will need a lot of sleep,12-18 hours, an average third grader will need somewhat 10 hours, a tween or teens will need 8-10, about nine hours. Seniors and grown ups need less sleep.

   The number of sleep you need depends on your age because different age groups do different things. A baby will need lots of sleep because they are small, and young. Third graders or older, thus they don’t need that much sleep. But they still need a fair amount, because they do more and different activities than babies. Tweens have more work to do so they might need an average of 9-10 hours and teens will need 8-9 hours. Grown ups may need an equivalent amount of a little less sleep than teens.  Seniors take naps in the middle of the day, so they don’t need that much sleep. They sometimes go to sleep very late, having 5-7 hours.

    The number of activities you do and how tired you are also depend on the amount of sleep up needed. If you are a pro basketball player, you will either need very little of a lot of sleep. But most just party all night after games. If you do sports, especially late night games of travel games, you would need lots of sleep to recharge your energy after a game. If you spent your time reading, you wouldn’t need as much sleep as a sports player. Basically, the amount of sleep you need depends on what you do. If you play tiring sport games, you will need more sleep, while a person who reads wouldn’t use up that much energy. 

  I don’t agree with the coronavirus magazine. I personally think that they are under counting the number of deaths because of the Covid19. I know that I am writing an argument against a magazine written by health officials and government officials that know more facts than I do. My reasons are that it could be other cases, like natural causes or that the person was already sick or has health problems. 

   It could be other cases because people are just commonly telling the doctors that someone died in their family. The doctor, who probably was getting ready for another task to save another person’s life, most likely would just mark it in the CoronaVirus death list. He or she, which probably would be very busy, wouldn’t really ask the cause of death. It could be natural causes, such as old age.

   My other argument is that the person was already sick, and then, got the coronavirus. Technically, that person died of other causes and didn’t die of coronavirus, because he was already sick, so it’s like he recovered and has a weak body system, then the COVID19 just comes and kills that person. So if that person is 100 percent recovered, the person just might not die.

As you can see, these are my reasons why I think that the number of corona virus deaths is not an under count but an over count. My reasons are that the person get killed by regular causes and that  the person already was sick or has health issues.
