A Short Summary of Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind has topped charts on Amazon for weeks now. Bill Gates said, "I would recommend this book to anyone interested in a fun, engaging look at early human history... You'll have a hard time putting this down..." This book attempts to answer the most obscure of question and gives the most intriguing answers. How did we come to believe in gods, nations, and human rights? Have we become happier as history has unfolded? And what will our world be like in the millenia to come? The word "revolution" means "a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favor of a new system". The byproducts we have created of our environment have altered our behavior forever, in the forms of an agricultural, industrial, and scientific revolution. The future of the human species relies, as such, only in our imagination.

I first played the Rocket Science: Ride to Station game (which is also available on Android and iOS). I then recreated it in either Scratch or Snap, which are two block-based programming languages. I had to make the user choose what type of spacecraft the user wanted to dock (ie. SpaceX Crew Dragon or Boeing Starliner). I had to let the user choose whether they wanted to autonomously dock the spacecraft or manually. I had to inform the user if they had successfully docked or not with a message and a sound. Thus, I created a “game” to do all of this. I tweeted it. And to see if my code was chosen I have to login to the NASA Social Broadcast. The NASA DM-2 mission from which this event originated is a real-live mission involving a human launch that will give the United States the opportunity to reach the International Spa...
