Intro Music Clip: Title: Third Rock From the Sun- Joe Diffe Minutes: 10 sec
Intro: Space craft Minutes: 3 minutes
Hello! I am Samantha Elliott and I love talking about space! On October 19, 2008, NASA launched the Interstellar Boundary Explorer. The spacecraft is the first of its kind and will go all the way out to map out the outer edge of the solar system. This is similar to the Voyager I and Voyager II but will do more complex things and go further.
Segment Music Clip: Title: Walking on the Moon-Police Minutes: 20 seconds
Segment: What is the Spacecraft Doing? Minutes: 5 minutes
The spacecraft is heading farther than a spacecraft has gone before. It’s going to a place where the most dangerous cosmic rays are. The spacecraft will send back the first ever pictures of the heliosphere, which is a bubble that protects us from the dangerous cosmic rays. The solar winds in the heliosphere are the weakest that they have been in 50 years. The hope is that the spacecraft will be able to help us understand why this is happening. The IBEX will send back pictures unlike anything that we have ever seen in our solar system. David McComas is a scientist working on the mission. He said, "IBEX will let us visualize our home in the galaxy for the first time and explore how it may have evolved over the history of our solar system."
End Segment Music Clip: Title: Space Odyssey- David Bowie Minutes: 20 sec
Ending: The Endless Frontier Minutes: 5 minutes
This space exploration is unlike anything that we have ever experienced before. Robert MacDowall, another scientists working on the mission, said, "the solar system’s frontier is billions of miles away." He is so right about that. We cannot physically travel all the way out there ourselves. We have to rely on the spacecraft to do it for us. It will take years for the first pictures to come back but when they do they will be astounding. I am so excited to be able to have a chance to see these pictures and everything that comes out of it. You should be too. This is something that will change science around the world and we all get to be a part of it.

This sounds very exciting! It is clear that such a probe could provide invaluable information concerning the structure and function of our solar system. I agree that any manned flights that far away from our planet would be incredibly dangerous and that such a task would be better handled by a probe. One can dream I guess. Anyway, considering how far out this probe will have to travel, I wouldn’t be expecting to see any photos for a very long time. This is a very interesting paper. Well done.
