Today is National Space
Day! While the thought of this day may be exciting to some, it actually
terrifies me (almost as much as the ocean!).
Space can be defined as “the void that exists
between celestial bodies, including the Earth.” What exactly does that mean,
you ask? Well, it’s basically everything outside of Earth, although Earth is a
part of it. It’s the solar system, galaxy, you name it! It includes the sun,
the stars (which are really just a bunch of far, or further, away suns), and
all the planets, as well. Many associate space with alien or extraterrestrial
life forms, which goes back to National
Extraterrestrial Abductions Day! This is what most people get scared of
when thinking about space, but who doesn’t love everyone’s favourite loveable
alien, E.T.?
For me, however, it’s the idea of looking out and seeing planet Earth
in front of me. The thought of that is completely overwhelming, and I do not
like it! That being said, I think the take off part would be mighty fun!
You know what else is fun? Filling out the daily
poll!
