Dear Earthlings, I am going to mars. This may be the last time you see one of my letters. My name is Tahje and I am an astronaut and I am with my friend -who is called Rufus is- in space with me. I will bring back some samples from mars. If i come back alive i will thank NASA for making it safe to land on mars. Rufus will not be walking on mars  Because he will be inside making sure the rocket can work. You can watch the Live view from my perspective on www.NASA.com/Live.
