The article is about NASA finding a way to use light from Earth, reflected off from a large sail, to propel a spacecraft at high speeds. At this speed, NASA could send people to Mars in a month. The Space Launch System currently being built would send people to Mars in 5 months. We could even travel outside the solar system. “There is no known reason why we can’t do this,” Philip Lubin, a NASA scientist, says.
I chose this article because it was about space, and that I hadn’t read it before. I found it interesting because it would allow us to go to Mars quickly, and we could even make it outside of the solar system.

I personally think it would take more than a few months to get to Mars; I think this is an unrealistic goal. But you did a nice job with your information and article.
