Warren County Schools began a week long celebration of the space program this
week. NASA works with school systems to promote the space program and to encourage young people to take an interest in science and space. As part of the program, two representatives of NASA visited Warren County schools this week.Mr. Gold and Dr. Morales spent all day Monday visiting Warren County High School. They shared a little of the history of the space program as well as the future plans of NASA. According to Gold, "NASA plans to return to the moon in the year 2015 to prepare for a possible trip to Mars in 2030."
Students were also surprised to learn that many of the items that we take for 
granted in our everyday life were developed from the space program. One invention that is being created today for the Mars missions will hopefully dramatically change the detection and treatment of cancer here on earth.
