Space Mission


The astronaut stepped out of the capsule onto the barren ground of Saturn. It took a month to get here. There was only dirt ground from where he stood. He looked around and didn't see any signs of life where he was. He walked a bit further, although it was difficult in all that gear to move swiftly. He walked and walked and saw no signs of life. He needed to collect samples and bring them back to the space station. His instincts drew him to go left for some reason and as he walked, he came upon a tiny stream with running water! "Alas!", this could be a sign of life on this planet! He took a vial and let it sink in the clear water and waited till it was filled. " I can run some tests on this at the space station, but it will take about a week to get there".

He left Saturn and the capsule rocket exploded with sound as it left the planet. He believed this was an indication of possible life on Saturn. He was bursting with enthusiasm and anticipation as he thought about the testing. He would then go back to Saturn and search some more. "This could be a breakthrough into something." he thought.
