SPACE LETTERS
Dear Mom and Dad,
Please don’t make us go to Neptune for Winter Break. Haven’t you heard of all the bad things that happen on Neptune? Well here is some information about it.
On Neptune there’s dark storms,giant hurricanes,and streaky white clouds of methane ice. So, Mom and Dad if we go to Neptune we might get caught up in a hurricane and die,because hurricanes on Neptune are very strong and powerful. So don’t take us to Neptune if you haven't read, there are dangerous and unsafe things on Neptune that I’m sure we don’t want to get involved in.
If you don’t believe me than keep reading about Neptune and hopefully change your mind about the whole thing.
Did you know Neptune is very cold? Well Neptune is very cold. About -400 degrees. If we go to Neptune and face the cold temperature there I hope you can afford clothing for it. Do you know why its so cold on Neptune? Well that’s because its the 8th planet from the Sun. About 2,800,044,000 miles away from the Sun!!! That’s pretty far away.
So please don’t take us to Neptune for Winter break. I never want to witness the things that happen there.
I Love you,please change your mind.

Dear Mom,
Please don’t send me to Jupiter for a x- mas, because there is a great big storm known as the great red spot. I also re-quest that you the not send me here because there is no where to land! Then again the only place to land is the core that is blazing at 35,000 degrees. this is why you should not send me to Jupiter.
The storm on Jupiter known as the great red spot is a very large storm that is on Jupiter. This storm the largest storm to be recorded ,and though it does not move changes shape,and size so it expands.I also know that you don’t want to go here because its way to hot!
Want to know why I say its way to hot? I say this because it only has one place to land the , core! The core of this planet is blazing at 35,000 degrees. This is because Jupiter is a gas giant so it mostly made up of helium, and hydrogen. so there would only be the core to land on. Plus any spaceship to get to close would burn up and disintegrate or be crushed by giant flying gas filled rocks that come of the core
So now you see my reasons of the great red spot and the blazing core of 35, 000 degrees.This is why I do not to go to Jupiter for x-mas this year
LOVE JAMES
Dear parents,
I will not go on our family vacation if it has anything to do with the biggest planet in our solar system, Jupiter.
First of all, One: there is a permanent storm called the great red spot.
The Great Red Spot is a super hurricane. The Great Red Spot could fit 2 earths in it.
Another reason is Jupiter is a gas giant. Jupiter is the giant planet in our solar system.
It is covered with constantly moving clouds miles thick. Jupiter is mostly made of gases.
Jupiter surface is an ocean of liquid hydrogen . The hydrogen may be 10.000
Or more miles deep.
Hopefully i talk some sense into you because we would go bankrupt and die. Also we will dissolve into nothingness. I will haft to secede from the family.
Love, Benny
Dear mom and dad,
Have you ever wished to fly like Peter Pan and see a whole other world? Well if you have, your wish is coming true! For my birthday,I want to make our family happy by taking you guys on a one month vacation to the International Space Station.We may not have the money for 5 spaceship tickets,but we could make a run for it right now and leave my sisters at home.Plus, my sisters are little, and the might get spacesick on the trip there.
One reason why we would have the time of our lives on this one month vacation is because there is a number of things we can do thats not possible on Earth.This trip may not be what we are used to on our planet,( especially the bathrooms) but we would get used to it shortly.( Its always good to try something new right?)One thing that we can do thats not possible on Earth is grow perfect crystals and make mixtures of metals that are stronger than made on Earth.Could you imagine it?Maybe if we are really good, the hostess might give us a free crystal, just to be nice.The most exciting thing to do of all would be.......TO FLY!! It may be obvious,since there are lots of books saying that you could fly in space,but not that many people actually experience it. Not only people, but also everything else can fly to! Water bubbles would be flying everywhere! This paragraph is only one reason why we should take a trip to The International Space Station.
Another reason why you should take this offer is because its pretty safe considering thats in outer space.One fact why it is safe is because in case the station was hit by a meteorite, or if something went wrong with the computers, there is a vehicle called the X-38 on the station.If anything went wrong,the X-38 would take the passengers safely back to Earth.Here is another fact how the station is safe. Did you know that after they are finished with the space station it will weigh about 1 million pounds?Thats pretty heavy! Wouldn’t you think that something that heavy would fall down? Actually, the station does! As the station orbits Earth, it slowly gets closer to the planet.If it weren’t boosted back up, the station would crash into Earth.Thats why there are small engines on the station.They help move the station back into a higher orbit when it slows down and moves closer to Earth.This makes the station crashing into the Earth a pretty bad possibility. The last fact is what if the station gets too hot when it is in the sunlight?This is another thing that can not happen to The International Space Station.The extra heat is collected and carried to the radiators, which are turned away from the sun. Heat travels from a hot place to a cooler place,so the heat in the radiators leaks into the intense cold of outer space.
These are the facts and reasons why I think we should take a vacation at The International Space Station.It will be an experience for all of us! I will be seeing you on the spaceship!
Love,

Subject: Please do not make us go to Mercury!

From:Petra
Dear Mom, and Dad,
Please do not make us go to Mercury, for our Christmas vacation! There are many reasons that we should not go here but, for me there are two main reasons (We would also go bankrupt if we went there!).
Reason number 1: the temperature is very uncomfortable! I know that mom likes to be warm, but I don’t think she wants to be more than 750 degrees fahrenheit! For Mercury can get up to more than 750 degrees fahrenheit. We would have to pay millions for a air conditioned space suit, if we went there! Then we would have to have a whole nother space suit with heating! Why would we have to do that is because, in the night mercury can go down to -300 degrees fahrenheit! That would be very unsafe!
Speaking of unsafe, my second reason is that it is very unsafe here! If we went to Mercury, we would die! Why you say, well there is no atmosphere so there is no air. Also because there is no atmosphere lots of meteors crash into Mercury. These are no pebbles, some meteors can get to one-hundred miles wide! On Mercury's surface there are high cliffs called scarps , some scarps slash meteors or any thing that comes in it’s way.So if we stepped on it then our foot would be gone!
I hope I have convinced you not to bring the family to Mercury for christmas vacation. Between the temperature and the danger on this planet I think that you are not going to bring us there. Plus, if were going to go to Mercury, I have a whole nother letter of excuses, but that is for another time.
Love your daughter,
Petra
