To infinity, and beyond! (School-wide field trip, Wednesday 2/21)

Feb 21, 2007 10:40

The Friz guided the bus through town towards the causeway, idling for a minute at the end of it. "Everyone take your seats, please! Ready? Hit it Liz!"

The bus jumped. The bus twisted. The bus blasted off and headed for the stars.

[[Please wait for OCD! Blast off!]]

The atmosphere! getfrizzled February 21 2007, 14:50:13 UTC

Ooooh, burny shiny colours.

"Don't be alarmed children, we won't burn up!" she said cheerfully as she rattled off the layers of the atmosphere.

"Oooh" Ami was mostly speechless except for small excited noises that periodically escaped.

Annette was kind of glued to her seat. Amazed beyond words.

Re: The atmosphere! slr_mercury February 21 2007, 22:54:49 UTC

"It's... something isn't it?" Ami asked.

The Sun! getfrizzled February 21 2007, 14:51:03 UTC

"Ah, Sol o mio!" she sang as they flew a dangerously close slingshot around the sun.

Re: The Sun! misshargrove February 21 2007, 21:23:19 UTC

Click> Annette was definitely taking pictures here. Who would believe that she came so close to the sun unless she had proof?

Re: The Sun! ktarian_wildman February 21 2007, 23:35:11 UTC

Naomi gazed out the window and smiled as she saw the sun.

John was wondering about radiation burns and trajectory.

The inner planets! getfrizzled February 21 2007, 14:52:58 UTC

And the Friz had a few interesting facts about every one of the inner planets, from Mercury to Venus to Earth to Mars.

Re: The inner planets! slr_mercury February 21 2007, 17:32:48 UTC

As they flew past Mercury, Ami looked at it with some startelment in her eyes. "Um... Why do i get a weird feeling about this one?"

Re: The inner planets! slr_mercury February 21 2007, 18:46:38 UTC

As they approached the Earth, Ami just sat there frozen silent, staring at the blue marble, covered in clouds. "wow" was all that escaped with her breath.

Re: The inner planets! ktarian_wildman February 21 2007, 23:37:47 UTC

Naomi looked at Venus, remembering that Chakotay had once told her he had completed flight training there, learning how to handle the atmospheric storms. She had to admit that, that would have actually been kind of amazing.

The outer planets! getfrizzled February 21 2007, 14:55:10 UTC

And she also had a few bad jokes about all of the outer planets, as well.

"Jupiter! The rudest planet for mooning!"

"Saturn! That rings a bell!"

"Uranus! Pronounce it correctly, children!"

"Neptune! Seems pretty tuneless to me!"

"Seriously wow." Ami took pictures with her tiny phone camera. She really hoped the Jupiter rings came out in focus.

Pluto! getfrizzled February 21 2007, 14:55:46 UTC

"And let's not forget the pluton!" she said cheerfully, explaining why Pluto wasn't actually a planet any more.

Re: Pluto! slr_mercury February 21 2007, 17:33:16 UTC

"Awww, I bet Pluto feels all dejected because it was rejected!"

Re: Pluto! ktarian_wildman February 21 2007, 23:43:05 UTC

Naomi grinned as she remembered studying science from the 21st century when she was younger and learning about the demotion of Pluto. There was certainly a great difference between her time period and this one.
