The Mars Experience One night I was in my bed dreaming about my dream vacation, the red planet, Mars. In my dream I did many wonderful things.

After about a day of enjoyable flying I arrived at Mars. After gaining clearance, I took the massive ship in for a smooth landing at Mars' Universal Space Port. There

measurements to take into account the elliptical orbits. However, they did not know how large an astronomical unit was. To establish an absolute distance scale, the actual distance to one of the planets had to be measured.

Knowing how far apart the observers were from each other and coordinating the observation times, astronomers could determine
A falling star is really a Meteor and is a form of space debris. They are not really stars at all. There are cases where meteors have entered the Earth’s atmosphere.

Through both means, the meteor deals with some measure of resistance upon

Soon I sat down and stood up repeating the pattern numerous times. As I stood up I
