Space Ships!

We went to the Air and Space Museum. We also went to see Bibles that were about 1,000 years old. Mommy was very interested in the Bibles, but I thought they were boring. We walked around until my legs almost fell off because they were hanging on little strings.

At the Air and Space Museum, you got to see how an airplane landed at different points of view on a computer. Mommy said that it made her dizzy. Daddy and I were pilots. Actually, Daddy was the co-pilot, and I got to make a plane and fly it on a different computer. We saw rockets that were inside a building! There were big rockets and medium rockets, but no small rockets. We also saw a spaceship that went into space; two guys could be in it. It was from the Gemini program, and it wasn’t that big.

We also saw an IMAX movie called “Magnificent Desolation.” It was about two people going on the moon. It showed that their moon car could have hit a bump and almost exploded, and it showed the two men running out of air and their radios couldn’t work, so they couldn’t hear each other. They had this tube that connected to each other to share oxygen which was the emergency plan that NASA had just in case. The movie was in 3-D!! A girl had said in the movie that she would become an astronaut, and they showed in the future that the girl was establishing a town on the moon.

Moon rocks are cold, and I can tell because I touched one and it was freezing!

I have a joke about astronauts from My Friend magazine.

Q: What do you call a nut in space?

A: An astronut!

This is a flying machine that is called the Katydid. It's funny because my Mom nicknamed me Katy.
