For over 60 years, radioisotope power systems (RPS) have fueled NASA’s deepest space exploration missions and enabled them to explore the realm existing beyond planet Earth. This revolutionary technology has permitted spacecrafts like Voyager 1 to venture into harsh environments where even solar panels prove to be inefficient. Extending beyond the limits of my imagination, I envision a RPS-powered space mission where I’d travel to Mars’ larger moon, Phobos. What’s truly fascinating about this satellite is that it’s slowly nearing its host planet at a rate of six feet every hundred years, meaning it will ultimately reach the Roche limit where Mars’ tidal forces will tear it apart. Although this will not occur for several million years, it would be an incredible experience to visit Phobos and collect samples from its surface to examine back on Earth. Undeniably, no mission is so simple. The greatest feature of mine that’ll assist me in my mission is the fact that, as John Elton said, “I’m still standing!” Despite the occasional discouragement and feeling of inferiority, I’ve realized that I am proud of how far I’ve come in life. I’m standing and will remain standing no matter what. Thank you, John Elton.
