๐ซTook my๐ฉโ๐๐ฉโ๐ astronauts on a trip through ๐ the solar๐ชโ๏ธ system yesterday ๐ฐ๐๐ธ then we turned our eyes to the night ๐ sky and gazed at ๐ to look for Mars, Jupiter & Saturn. We also calculated our ages on planet Venus ๐ฉโ๐
๐ซWe used binoculars and a very helpful app called Skyview ๐ช๐ฉโ๐๐๐ฐ to locate the planets.๐ฝ
๐ซMy girls could see the orange yellowish light coming from Mars ๐งก๐๐ซ
๐ญOne day in the future, my girls or my descendants will be space tourists๐ฉโ๐๐๐ช๐๐ธ๐ฐ
"Space tourism will bloom very soon.... Regular tourist flights, orbital hotels--then the real payoff begins. I foresee an interplanetary cruise ship, a lunar cycler. Assembled in Earth orbit, this liner is given a powerful push--sending it on its way to the moon. The lunar cycler will undergo a cosmic dance: loop around the moon, return to Earth, slingshot around Earth, and return to the moon again. The round-trip will take just over a week. And every time the lunar cycler swings by Earth, it'll be met by a supply ferry, maybe even restocked with champagne, and boarded by a fresh group of travellers." ~BUZZ ALDRIN, Mission to Mars: My Vision for Space Exploration
