It all started a year ago when I got a new job. I have to admit I’m quite a gamer. So when I saw the ad in the paper, I called them immediately. Wanted: Video Game Player. It turned out the offer wasn’t that simple. Yes, my job was to play video games. But all day long. 15 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days in total. I’d have 8 hours to sleep and half an hour in the morning and in the evening to eat and shower. No days off, no vacation. Take it or leave it. It scared me, and I was reluctant to agree. But then the employer told me my yearly salary, and I was in. If I did it for a year, I’d never have to work again. So, I decided to give it a try.

It’s staring at you, and you’re staring at it. A giant eye that seems to be pulling you into an abyss. You’re hovering over it in your space copter. But however scared you might be, you still need to do your job. So, you send your copter down to the surface of the Red Planet. Right, that’s where you are — on Mars. But first things first: you take a moment to remember everything you know about the fourth planet from the Sun. It’s the last of the inner planets — those are the planets that lie within the asteroid belt. They’re also called terrestrial since they’re made up of rocks and metals. The atmosphere of Mars is much thinner than Earth’s. It contains 95% carbon dioxide and a mere 1% of oxygen. In other words, don’t even think about pulling off your helmet!

Oh, no! Your cat knocked down your mug. Coffee is all over your expensive rug. Let’s freeze time for a couple of moments and see exactly how long it will take for coffee to spill on the floor. In regular time, it should take about a second for the initial knockdown of the mug and for gravity to do its job. Your cat is giving those menacing eyes while doing it. Yikes. 24 or 25 frames per second means that a video you see on the screen looks exactly like people moving in real life. When the first-ever movies were made, cameras didn’t have the technology to support 25 frames per second. That’s why the movements were sped up and exaggerated. Fast-forward to the present day, and we have technology that can capture the tiniest details.
