Hunter is Going to Mars!

Ok, so he's not really going to Mars (anytime soon at least). But his name is!

The other day we were on NASA's Play and Learn section and found this neat little thing they're doing,
Send Your Name to Mars. You can put your name and information in and it will be included in a microchip that is going to Mars in 2011 on the Mars Science Laboratory rover.

Cool little idea to get kids interested, isn't it?

"...to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven."

2 Kings 23:5

Hunter is 4 years, 10 months old

Your Answer Defines You
"What can we do with thirty seconds? What can we not do with thirty seconds!... [Suppose] your little child looks out the window and sees a collie. 'What's that?' he asks you. You have five options, which will each take about thirty seconds to make stick:

1. We can tell him, "Look, baby, Mommy has to get dinner."
2. We can tell him, "That's a bow-wow."
3. We can tell him, "That's a dog."
4. We can tell him, "That's a dog called a collie."

The fifth option is to tell him that it is a dog called a collie and then go on to tell him thirty second's worth of information about that animal...

How sad it is that we put information into a computer with great skill and great precision and put information into our children's brains in a hit-or-miss, slip-shod, and often untruthful way."
