"Mission Update"

          This piece of literature is also considered to be a blog. Steve Squyres is the speaker of this blog and he wrote this blog to inform us readers as well as the world. He wanted to tell everyone that Opportunity the rover landed on Victoria Crater on September 28, 2006. This date is significant because just like every other scientific exploration, this was one that would go down to the history books. After decades of research a rover landed on Mars and is showing scientists what life is like on a different planet. For Steve, and his fellow colleagues this was a great step forward!
          Steves main purpose was writing this blog was to inform his readers. He wanted to talk about their accomplishments, but that was not all. He wanted to mention what was next in their agenda.He informs  us that their next location would be Cape Verde. They will go there to take more pictures to explore and discover new signs of life.They chose Cape Verde because during this time the sun would still be facing Mars and communication will be possible. The purpose is the most important SOAPTS aspect because not only does he explain to the world their achievement but also tells us that this is not the end, and more exploration will take place very soon. Another great SOAPTS aspect would be the tone, which is informative and relates to the fact that Steve is informing his readers with the recent accomplishments.
