Deep Space
What is space? I think that space is a name for a never ending amount of nothing that goes through a pit of nothing that leads it in to a different dimension that is made up of nothing as well. In the nothing there are planets, stars and then theres Pluto, that humanity thought was a planet but it is just made up of gas rock and ice; the planet theory was over ruled by a vote!
To this day there has been people living up in deep space to find out more about space, just like Kjell.
Once there was an American boy called Neil Armstrong who really wanted to become a spaceman when he grew up. Unfortunately when the Second World War started he didn’t even know if he would live to 20 . Luckily when he was 18 he joined the Navy in 1949 . Then in 1967 Neil joined the Apollo space program and in 1969 he went to space together with two other astronauts. Deep in space and as the first man on the moon, he said ” that’s one small step for man , one giant step for mankind”. He came back to Earth a hero.

Today was NASA day
We had lots of fun talking to the astronaut in the space station. There were
Eleven student who were given time to ask astronaut Kjell a question about
living in the space station. One of the students asked the astronaut “how do
You sleep in space”.Kjell’s answer was that he likes to float around. Other
Astronauts like to attach themselves to the wall using Velcro strips. We had
Couple more student asking there question to Kjell,there was like five more
Student left to answer their question and that was the time we lost contact.

We waited. We waited for a long time. We could hear Martin’s voice spluttering through the speakers. Miss Frood looking tense told us the space station would be over Australia in 15 minutes. Martin was in Australia in his ‘shack’, ready to connect to the space station for us. More classes arrived and took their places. Loads of parents came to watch. The people asking questions looked half nervous but very determined. Everyone waited feeling rather excited. Martin called out for the first question. A crackling noise filled the room, then it was silent. Suddenly, Kjell the astronaut spoke.
The clicking of the cameras.
The waving of the parents.
The laughing of the children.
Let’s try again.
The shouting of the teachers.
The buzzing of the computer.
Let’s try again.
The howling of the wind.
The closing of the curtains.
The jumping of the infants.
Let’s try again.
The shaking of the parents.
The swallowing of the children.
The screaming of the microphone.
Let’s try again.
We’re all off to australia.
Dead silence in the hall.
Kjell picked up.
WE’RE ON THE CALL.
The talkers ask questions.
Kjell answers back.
We’re all on the news
and happy at last.
I have planets surrounding me, stars so bright and matter so dark in every direction I face. The sun is beaming on me. On my journey I dart through a shower of asteroids. I see Saturn , Jupiter Mars and Uranus and pass blinding comets on the way until I get to Neptune that is as blue as a sparkling sapphire. Earth looks like a tiny spec of dust as I look back in the distance, I feel so far from home! I pass Pluto and realise that in my horizon a new galaxy is before me, I’m in deep space…
Galaxies swirling above me,
formed billions of years ago,
I look up from Earth and try to see,
I gaze at bright and distant stars,
The planets looking at me,
Shining stars dazzle and daze,
shimmer in the Milky Way,
And their light will still amaze,
Reciting Bary to the Space monsters.
They wanted Bary to make up a poem
to make them happy! And it worked, they
cried so much they drowned in there own
tears. And that was the end of the monsters!
When everything was back to normal they awarded
Bary with a key to the city!
I love space. But the thing is, in space you can’t hug your wife and three children.
I was nervous about coming here, because my training was such a long time ago.
Five long months is going to be a real struggle.
When you really think about it, you don’t ever know how much we take for granted on Earth.
Like gravity and showering! And eating fresh food.
But the pros are pretty over the moon.
I get to look down on earth and see how much land there is.
Why do we fight over it? What’s the point?
Deep in Space
The Aroura spacecraft drifted towards a planet like Terra. This mission was to find life on another planet. This planet was in another solar system. Mars was promising but its environment was too hostile. Venus was too hot, Neptune was too cold but this planet was great. It had everything for life: water, plants, everything life needs. But on the 14th of February 2138 the Aroura lost contact with the ground team. No one knows what happened.
Another spacecraft was sent to that planet but that spacecraft was military. The ground team from the other spacecraft were never seen again.

So different
Earth is life
Space is desolation
Floating
Out and in
Above us down here
Barely seen
Exploring
Earth and space
So different

Making new discoveries
Like the rover on Mars
Or Neil Armstrong on the moon
