My Journey To Mars

It was March 2020 and a fast spreading virus hit the world and made everyone sick! To escape from the pandemic Sophie and her Mum decided to take a spaceship to Mars! It was 55,000,000 km away from Earth and they had no experience in rocket ships or even flying! Fortunately for them there was an air force station that space ships take off from 30 minutes away from them so they raced in the car to get there. There were people working there and they helped them to get into the space ship. Before Sophie and her Mum knew it they were on the outskirts of Earth! lucky for them the space ships are always loaded with food when they looked in the food compartment they could see - Chicken, Fruit, Nuts, Seafood, Coffee, Juice and even Lemonade! It was like having the queens breakfast lunch and dinner all at once! Sophie and her Mum soon figured out why there was so much food. It was because their trip was going to take 150 to 300 days! "What are we going to do for 300 day's" cried Sophie's Mum. "Well I know what I'm going do" said Sophie doing a floating cartwheel, "I'll be doing gymnastics and I won't get hurt because I will be floating" said Sophie doing an aerial. 7 months into their journey to Mars there were some technical difficulty's on the outside of the ship and their radio signal to earth blew up so they couldn't get in contact with anyone down at the air force station! Sophie and her Mum began to worry and think that this trip was a bad idea but they didn't know what to do so they had to keep going. It was already October and they were missing out on Halloween. Finally two months later they reached Mars but very very slowly. They figured that they had crashed into some small space rocks and they got caught up into the engine which made the spaceship go slower. They also figured that you also needed a degree in engineering, Biological science, physical science, computer science or maths followed by three years of professional experience or 1,000 hours in pilot or jet aircraft time and you also have to pass NASA's astronaut physical examination! So people like me or my parents can not just hop on a space ship and fly to Mars because it's not that easy as you think it is!

If you were to fly to Mars who would you take with you?
