| �How is the trip going, agents?� inquired the NASA official. We were communicating through an intercom that could receive messages from Earth. �The trip is going well, although it is taking longer than we anticipated. We have a great view of Venus, which before seemed like a blue dot. To pass the time, we borrowed your zero-G computer that functions without oxygen and does not float,� we replied. �With that distracting computer, I bet you won�t even be able to keep your bodies fit,� the official muttered over the intercom. �Of course I kept my body fit! I know that not exercising in space will lead to premature death through bone disintegration! Besides, I don�t want obesity!! In fact, I just finished working out on that treadmill/stair climber formatted for use in space. However, my crewmember was writing in his journal all day!� �Hey!� yelled my crewmate. �I�m exercising right now!� he whined. �I trust you have your space suits heat-resistant up to 700 Centigrade. You also need some protection from sulfuric acid. A rover would be helpful, too. However, even with the protection your suits provide, I would still take precautions, because Venus is very unpredictable. There could be extreme acid rain, or active volcanoes. This may cause holes in your suits,� warned the official. �Don�t worry, it is all in check,� I replied. �Hey, look how close we are to Venus!� I yelled, getting more and more nervous. My crewmate and I felt a pang of excitement as we hit the atmosphere of Venus. Back to original site |
