Storm system drenches North Carolina coast


This article was published by star news online. The writers of this article are Sam Scott and Dave Reynolds. From reading this article I was informed that just recently a storm flooded the Crolina Beach. Wilmington International Airport reported 3.66 inches of rain. I also learned that it is very possible for the Carolina coast to get flooded. I find it interesting that there is a storm near our coast and how big it is. One question that I do have is, does the storm pose a threat.

Inflatable Lunar Habitat


This article was written by Fraser Cain. It was published by universe today. It's all about how humans are trying to return to the moon in 2020. Nasa is trying to build an inflated and pressurized habitat for humans. Pretty much giving astronauts their own atmosphere. On the inside nasa plans to build a heated inviroment, overing up to 35 metres, of living space, under a 2.4- metre ceiling. It will even have access points for electrical power.I think that it is very interesting that nasa plans to go back to the moon. I also think that it is interesting that they are trying to build a livable habitat out of a tent. One question that I still have is how are the astonauts going to breath up there.
