Goin’ to space

I’m happy to announce that I have been selected for one of the most amazing employment opportunities – being the first ever programmer on Mars!

I have been living and training at NASA’s Johnson space centre the past few months, and I am finally ready to be launched into space.

I will be travelling on the newest, most high-tech space shuttle devised by NASA, which uses classified technology to reach speeds as fast as 0.05 times the speed of light. With that speed, it will only take just over 6 hours to get to Mars!

After arriving, I will be living and working in the underground human settlement that exists on Mars. The work I will be doing is currently classified, but my employer plans to make the software I will develop open source as soon as it’s complete. The outcomes of my work will benefit research – both on Mars and our own planet! I will even be able to work with Mars’s native leader, King Xrhsdpmdf IV, which is a great honour.

I will be leaving this planet forever on Monday, 6th April 2015. I will miss my friends and relatives here, but don’t worry: using a Satellite Internet connection, I will still be able to communicate with you guys!
