The topic is going to space with travel insurance.
The main idea of article is NASAs project of taking people into space for a week visit.
The author’s purpose for writing this article is to inform people of the idea in 2013 to take people to space.
The Authors perspective in this article is subjective because he didn’t include his opinion and filled the article with facts.
The pattern of organization of the article is they said their idea and then explained how and when.
The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is because it let readers understand the perspective of the article.
The text features included in the article are there is no text features in the article they just put quotes.
This article is about how NASA wants to take normal people into space to visit in the year 2013. The said they will be able to take pictures, run around, do cartwheels and see many great sites while they are in space. The big idea is that they will be able to go protected- with travel insurance.
The significance of this article is that we will finally, after many years be able to take people into space without much of a risk because they will be going with insurance.
What I learned from this article is that astronauts have finally figured out a safe way to bring people like us into space and to have us go like it’s a normal flight, with travel insurance so there is much less of a risk.
What I liked about this article is that it talked about space because I really love learning and hearing new facts about space. I would love to one day go to outer space.
What I did not like about it is that going will be so much money, and my parents would never pay so much.
Who should read this article and why? I think Ms. Goldberg should read this article because she knows so much about space, and I’m sure she would love to one day visit it.
The article reminds me of science class because I learn a lot about space.
