James says, "I think the LINK idea is very cool. It would be cool if LINK did not have to burn up because they could use it for other missions." Grandma says, "I agree! I especially like the way they launched it from a high-flying plane! Unique!"

If the Swift is still doing it's job, then why let it burn up and have to build a new one for more money that saving it. The money saved could build other new, more powerful telescopes for new discoveries.

James says, "How much do they cost? And how to I get them?" Grandma says, "Robots are amazing, for sure. But one thing I don't think robots will ever do is love like people. They don't have true emotions."

James says, "I wonder if they will still be using paper in 250 years." Grandma says, "I understand why California used AI on the future prediction. AI is new, maybe it will be used in the future, maybe not. But it's a big, new technology in 2026, so they should include something related to it."

James says: "I wonder what would happen if you put a school bus in the sea when the Tylosaurus Rex was alive! That would be an interesting field trip, but you wouldn't have time to tell anyone about it because you would be eaten in 5 seconds! Grandma says: "I live in a small city that has no major museums. I would love to go to a natural science or natural history museum to see these kinds of fossils! So, if you have these types of museums where you live...GO CHECK THEM OUT! They probably have amazing things inside."

James says: "I wish rich people gave more to poorer countries." Grandma says: "It is poverty and lack of opportunity that causes people to take dangerous risks to get the money for basic needs."

James says: "Give me all of your Euros! I'm doing it!" Grandma says: "Climbing Everest used to be a unique achievement. But, now, it hardly is! If you are rich, you can just pay sherpas to take you to the top. Should everyone--even those without experience--be allowed to climb the mountain? Seems dangerous."

James says, "Give me a ticket; I want to go!" Grandma says, "Space is an awesome mystery! I love when scientists learn just a little bit more to understand it better."

James says: "Can I pet it??" Grandma says: "This snake was longer than my kitchen and sitting room COMBINED! When I was a kid, I had a boa constrictor for a pet. It ate mice."

James says: "I wonder how closely they have to look for problems in the chip." Grandma says: "I think the things that technology and medicine can do are phenomenal. When I was young (many years ago) such thing were unthinkable. Advance in technology are astounding and so fast."
