The rocket blasted off. The tail of the rocket came off. I told the General. He said, “That’s what happens.” I said, “okay.” We blasted through what felt like a force field. Finally we landed on Mars.
I went to jump out and all these martians and aliens were running around.
As I jumped out I said, “one small step for man, one big step for man kind.” Then a meteor flew right past. WOOSH! I took a few photos of the galaxy.
A few months went by and I started to get to know some of the aliens and martians. One day I turned around and saw something. A new planet glowing and it was light green. I’ll call it Kripton and another planet with an X carved in it. I’ll call that one Planet X. I could live here.
Some of my favourite martians were Mashy, Smashy and Shocky. They were really cute and I lived with them. I shouted I love the galaxy and then another meteor flew past.
One day when I was walking, all the aliens and martians started running away. I said, “What’s going on?” Shocky said, “A WORM WHOLE is sucking us in,” and he ran off. Mashy said, “hold on tight.” I grabbed a pole. We were sucked into another galaxy.
Heaps of stars were there, but we were still on Mars. It was amazing, like a paradise. I loved where I was. That’s it! I’ll live here for ever. YES! There is another life form on Mars.
