Answer:
It means "importance".
Explanation:
When the text says "To add to the significance of their mission" the text is referring to the addition of importance that the female walk in space will receive, since it will be held in the month of women, as it shows that women have reached places never imagined.
We can reach this conclusion, because the word "significance" refers to something very important, full of meaning and importance.
Many topics from "The Things They Carried" are still relevant today, the constant theme is the horrors of war, and how they affect ill-prepared men, both physically and mentally.

Answer:
1. The tone being conveyed is a laudatory tone.
2. The poet achieved it by asking a rhetorical question and providing the answer.
Explanation:
1. The tone being conveyed in the last stanza of the poem was a laudatory one. This means that the poet was praising the boy Icarus for trying the boundaries of his intellect.
2. To achieve this, the poet asked a rhetorical question;
<em>Should it matter
</em>
<em>that neither shepherd nor farmer with his plow
</em>
<em>watched him fall?
</em>
He answered the question by saying that 'he now had the answer'. So, even though the boy eventually fell, he had explored the heights of his freedom and had satisfied his curiosity.
