Based from the project title, about global carbon, it so can happen on this superpowearth, that a heavy rain accompanied by very hot sun, basically called "Sunshower" occurs in some regions around the World, like a sunset sunshower occurred in the Mojave desert and the actual sunshower happened over crater mountain in Landers, California. Basically, if only heavy rain occurs, then there will be a rise in the sea level, and on the other side of the coin, if there is very hot sun, then there will be drought where humans, plants or animals won't be able to survive. Henceforth, A sunshower (heavy rain with very hot sun) will result into evaporation. Evaporation occurs when water is heated too much, hence the water level will decrease since it is exposed to the sun.

Evaporated water helps cool down the entire planet, not just the evaporation area, proving that evaporated water from trees and lakes may help to cool the entire atmosphere. Earth has been warming for at least a few decades, owing to carbon dioxide emissions from coal, oil, and gas burning, as well as forest clearance. However, because water vapour plays so many functions in the climate system, the implications of changes in evaporation on the global temperature were not fully understood. Carbon dioxide emissions from coal, oil, and gas burning, as well as forest removal, have caused the Earth to warm for at least a few decades. However, because water vapour serves so many roles in the climate system, the effects of evaporation on global temperature were not well understood. When evaporation occurs, the Earth cools down and being fresh again, this hydrologic cycle (water cycle) which consists of Evaporation, Condensation, Sublimation, Precipitation, Transpiration, Runoff and Infiltration. As well as, the hydrological cycle plays an important role in the lives of humans, plants and animals, since that is shows how water reaches out to all the living things.

1. How would you describe your Space Apps experience? - For a first-timer, it was pretty interesting, being used to work in the computing industry, the use of imagination to solve a problem that affects each and every one of us regarding the fact that people disregard it because of some beliefs, it was nice working on a project that was interesting and innovating.
2. What did you learn? - Forming a team to participate for the NASA competition was something that brings a lot of interest, since this helps to be creative and critical thinking. This challenge makes you be imaginary and thinks more and more in the past, by making new invention which you probably would like to have, a kind of super power in the future or would like to see the world of such kind of super power.
3. What inspired your team to choose this challenge? - The biggest inspiration was the need to change something important regardless of our position in society because everything starts from imagination so we believe that somehow something with deriving from our project.
4. What was your approach to developing this project? - since they are human-induced factors that force the climate change, it took a pandemic and the resulting worldwide economic shutdown to bring a 4-8% reduction in the global CO2 emissions. However, as the economies are slowly recovering and countries are lessening restrictions, emissions are increasing rather than decreasing. in addition to that, we, as a team, came up with some researches about CO2 reduction in the atmosphere and as well as thought about the fact that if only the earth could puff out CO2 into the space then many environmental problems such as climate change and deforestations could be restored in the future.
5. How did your team resolve setbacks and challenges? - We looked at a few typical team difficulties such as delegating effectively, dealing wisely with poor performances, developing strong collaboration, understanding each other's responsibilities, exchanged ideas and offered some answers that we used to solve the challenges.
6. Is there anyone you'd like to thank and why? - Yes, we would want to express our gratitude to our respected lecturer, our mentor; without him, we would not have had the opportunity to work on such a wonderful project; we are very thankful to him. Thank you, Teacher, for motivating us, caring for us, listening to us, guiding us, helping us , and giving us this opportunity to shape our future.
