If I had €1 million, it would be easy to find three good ways to use the money and help people who deserve it.

First of all, I would donate half of the money to the children's hospital in my town. They’re raising money to build bedrooms for visiting families.

Secondly, I would make a donation to my local primary school to buy sports equipment. As I see it, more sport at school would mean healthier children. Furthermore, the teachers would find it far easier to teach sports and PE if they had new equipment.

Finally, I would buy a new bike for my brother. He borrows mine all the time, even though he’s got one, because mine is better. If he had a new bike, he wouldn’t do that!

To sum up, I would use the money to make life better for the families of children in hospital, to improve facilities at my school and to buy a gift for my brother.

MARS ONE

NASA is planning to send people back to the moon and Mars. This will be the Artemis program. Theidea of living on the moon clearly appeals to a lot of people. Teams of sclentists from several countries, including India, China and Israel, are working hard to take part in the race. Films like Ad Astra, starring Brad Pitt, show us people on scheduled flights to the moon showing their ID on arrival almost as if they were arriving at an airport on Earth. Indeed, many people believe that people will set up home on the moon soon. So, if that is true, how will the settlers adjust to the conditions on the moon? How will they deal with problems like lack of oxygen, zero gravity and extreme temperatures? Robotic rovers have already searched for water on the moon, but have found none in liquid form. However, they have discovered some ice below the surface.

NASA's plan is to work with private companies to establish a base on the moon around 2028. Then, part of their job will be to prepare for the future exploration of Mars. Will some of us have the opportunity to travel into space and maybe even settle on Mars? Nobody knows for sure. But if we believe what we see in films like Passengers and Ad Astra, future generations may enjoy a very different life!

Inventions the world forgot

1. Telhartnonium

The Telharmonium was the world's first electronic musical instrument. It was designed by Thaddeus Cahill in 1897. Music from the instrument was broadcast to people’s homes using a telephone. Before the invention of the radio, people loved these first home concerts. After Cahill's death in 1934, his brother kept one of the three models, but in 1962 it was destroyed. No recordings of the music were kept, so the Telharmonium and its unique sound have disappeared forever.

2. The Writing Ball

Invented in 1865 by Rasmus Malling- Hansen from Denmark, the Writing Ball was a machine for typing onto paper. Its use of electricity made the movement faster. However, you could not see the paper as you were typing. Nevertheless, the Writing Ball was very successful. Since each model was made by hand, it was soon replaced by other cheaper machines produced in factories. A new keyboard with a different key arrangement appeared. The once-popular Writing Ball was forgotten.

3. The Antikythera Mechanism

In 1901, parts of an ancient machine were discovered on a ship near the Greek island of Antikythera. It had been made about 1,900 years earlier, in 2 BCE. For many years after its discovery, nobody understood exactly what the machine was for. In the 1970s, scientists found that this ancient computer had been designed to predict the movements of the sun, the moon and the planets. It did this using more than thirty hand-made metal wheels of different sizes. The remains of the Antikythera mechanism are now kept at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, together with a number of reconstructions to demonstrate how it may have worked.
