A trip to space
by Jerry
10 October 2053
I'm so happy! Tomorrow I'll be one of the first students to travel into space. The spaceship will leave the Earth at 9 a.m. It'll take us to the Moon. I can't wait!
The Moon is around 380,000 kilometres from the Earth, so it'll take us about four days to get there. There's no gravity in space, so we'll all be able to float around in the spaceship. We'll have to tie ourselves to our beds so that we won't float away in our sleep! Without gravity, our bodies may get weak, so we'll have to do exercises every day.
When we arrive, I'm going to walk on the Moon. I'll have to wear a spacesuit to help me breathe because there's no air on the Moon. I'm going to take as many photos as I can, that is, if my camera still works up there …
