“Incredibly, nearly 70,000 Young Adults between 15-39 are diagnosed with cancer each year. 10,000 will not survive. This is a very important stat for me, because I fall in this category. I am one of these statistics. Unlike every other age group, there has been no improvement in the 5-year survival of young adults in 30 years. That means many young adults have the same chance of getting cancer and dying from it as they did in the 1970's. This is not OK.” YearsMeanHas BeensImportantAgeYoungFallChanceGroupsDyingSurvivalAdultsYoung AdultCancerImprovementStatisticsCategories Author:Jenna Morasca

“Life is full of toil, sacrifice, and pain, and from the time we stop growing, we know that we've begun dying.

“Space exploration must be undertaken not only out of simple human curiosity but also to further the survival of the species. The twentieth century has seen the unprecedented development and proliferation of magnificent technologies. Many of them, through design, ignorance, or misuse, are capable of destroying life as well as enhancing it. Space exploration alone holds the promise of eventual escape from a dying planet, provided we wisely manage our resources in the meantime and actually survive that long.” HumansWellsLongSimpleSpaceTechnologyCenturyDyingDesignIgnorancePlanetsDevelopmentPromiseSurvivalCapableResourcesSpeciesCuriosityManageExplorationDestroyingMagnificentTwentieth CenturySpace ExplorationUnprecedentedMisuseProliferation Author:Edgar Mitchell
