A Small Letter To NASA - Journey To Reach Big Dreams

 🛰️Hello! Welcome to my blog.

Have you ever imagined that one day you'll write and send letters to a famous space organization like NASA? Maybe with you, it's impossible, but with me, nothing is hard because I've already sent it! Sounds hard. Whether you believe me or not, I'm going to share with you why I do this, and the progress to do it. Don't waste time anymore, let's get into it!

✨1. Why did I get started writing letters?

I have always been fascinated by the stars, spaceships, and space missions. But one day, I was listening to a NASA Curious Universe podcast about a day of the astronauts at ISS (International Space Station), suddenly an idea flashed through my mind: "What if I wrote a letter to NASA?". No sooner had I thought, I began to write the letter the next morning.

💌2. Writing progress

I started the email with these lines:

“Dear NASA Team,

My name is Trinh Phuoc, a 13-year-old student from Vietnam. I have loved science, especially space, since I was a little boy.”

Then I expressed my purpose of his email:

“I recently listened to a NASA Curious Universe podcast and heard a girl who sent her voice message to the astronauts at ISS. It inspired me a lot and I would love to do the same!”

Finally, I thanked NASA for inspiring students like me and ended the email:

“Thank you for inspiring so many students like me. Best wishes from Vietnam!

Sincerely,

Trinh Phuoc

Vietnam”

It wasn’t perfect English. But it was honest, from my heart, and filled with curiosity.

📧3. Trying to send it, and problems started

First, I sent my email to the official account of NASA STEM, called “nasa-stem@mail.nasa.gov”. Then this happened:

❌"Email not found".

Not giving up, I continued to send my email to another email account of NASA: hq-info@nasa.gov, and it also had that result.

But I'm not a person who is easy to give up, so I sent it to another email of NASA: jsc-iss-education@mail.nasa.gov, and the only thing I received back was failure. But finally, I was successful after sending my letter to the "Contact with NASA" page. Moreover, I also planned to send a letter through the NASA Facebook.

🚀 4. Why I'm sharing this experience

Because this letter wasn't just about getting a reply.

It was a small action to start my space discovery dream!

Most students think that they have to have "perfect English" to do this. But here's what I learned: You don't need to be a adult to act on your dream!

📬 5. Conclusion

I still don't know if NASA will respond. But I do know this:

    A small letter from Vietnam has already taken its first step into     NASA.

Would you send a letter to someone who inspires you?

Let me know in your comments - I'd love to hear your story.

And remember:

🌟 No dream is too big. Not any letter is too small to begin the journey.
