Space Facts

Nicholas studied space in school this week. Here's the things he told me in the car on the way home:

• Don't get too close to a rocket because they will shoot flames.
  
• Astronauts go up a tall elevator and walk across a bridge to get in the rocket.
  
• Astronauts eat dried food and the ice cream tastes yucky.
  
• The sun is in space.
  
• The sun makes it light and it is a big ball of fire.
  
• Pluto is really far away from the sun and its really cold.  Some people say it is not a planet anymore - but it really is.
• What is a shooting star anyway?
  

"Do you want to be an astronaut when you grow up?"

"NO!  It's too scary Mommy!"

Very interesting Nicholas.  You really learned a lot!
