Luis K. -- Generally NASA always is on a mission that has to do with space. The space agency has been working on one that did not encounter spacecrafts or satellites. NASA has been helping thousands of baby sea turtles successfully make their flight easier to the open water. Many Biologists have helped dig up around 700 sea turtle nests on the northern gulf beaches affected by the BP oil spill. The Biologists have gone as far as Panama City to Apalachicola, Florida and have relocating the eggs to NASA’s KSC in Florida (Kennedy Space Center). Each nest has 100 to 120 eggs, and have been taken cared of at the undisclosed facility until each one has hatched. Once the sea turtles hatched, they were hurriedly moved to nearby beaches to make their march to the sea. “Although biologist cant be certain the sea turtle relocation plan will succeed, they say all of this year's hatchlings from the northern Gulf of Mexico will be lost if nothing is done.”
I really thought this article was neat. It was good for NASA to put away all of the space stuff behind for a while and help out an endangered, and significant animal as the baby sea turtles. If it weren’t for them those baby sea turtles would not have gotten as far. It’s always good to help out the environment and the organisms that live in it. And even though there are other turtles and animals out there, it made a difference for those ones. I think maybe why the writer wrote this article is to show that anyone can make a difference and everything and everyone counts.
