The Day We Landed
by Cosima

Dad and I were on a mission to find new lifeforms through the galaxy.

On a particularly boring day (or night, it's really hard to tell in deep space) we flew right into a meteor storm.

Luckily we can always rely on D.O.R.I.S. (our friend and supercomputer) to avoid crashing...

As D.O.R.I.S. flew us safely through the asteroids we suddenly spotted our destination - planet Proxima!

I couldn't believe it! We'd made it - at last!!

BUT...

Disaster struck as Dad's coffee poured onto D.O.R.I.S. and she blew a fuse!

Dad had to captain the ship and land us safely on Proxima... Could he do it??

Proxima!

Dad's coffee :(

D.O.R.I.S. has an unhappy emoji face on her screen, coffee spills on her keyboard.

The spaceship hurtling through space.

Waaaaaaaa!

He did it!

We landed safely, but the ship was in a bad state...

And D.O.R.I.S. woke up again with a LOT of funny glitches!

Once we'd worked out we could breathe the air (phew!) Dad couldn't wait to make new discoveries on the planet. But he gets a bit distracted by the smaller things...

I wanted to find something BIG. And boy did I do just that!!

BIG LIZARD!

Cosima teaches Big Lizard how to play space-checkers.

Finally, someone to play space-checkers with!

I had a feeling Big Lizard and I were going to get along like a house on fire!

With a whole planet to explore, and other creatures to meet, life on Proxima was going to be COSMIC!

​

The end. (Until tomorrow!)
