Summary: Basically theres a video of President Trump calling Peggy Whitson from the Oval Office congratulating her for breaking the record for being the longest person to live in space. 534 days was the record and she plans to stay longer. Trump even mentioned Mars as a future project.
Synthesis/analysis: This is a huge accomplishment for the U.S. and something to be proud of. Hopefully we can continue to discover more and expand horizons. This is similar to the space race because were always as a country looking for ways to be the best.

I like the fact that we keep making slow advancements like these, and I'm surprised Trump agrees and went out of his way to congratulate her.
ReplyDeleteI love that we are still making advancements such as this. I think it is nice that Trump called to personally congratulate her.
