Afghanistan and Pakistan have to know that the U.S. is what they need the most because without the help of U.S. The two countries do not have enough power to tackle with the terrorist groups that have been a threat to their security. They seem to be overreating to the western country's approach. They should be first reminded of getting rid of their worst enemy.

NASA is trying to discover 'life' on other planets. Until now, there have been no signs of life in the univers but on Earth. If life does not exist, the project would find at least what is going on Mars.

Q.Why do you think that NASA is focusing on Mars instead of other planets for this research? 

Mars is one of the nearest planet to the Earth. It could be easier to arrive at the planet than at the further planets.

The time to arrive at the other planet in the universe is not as easy as it seems.
