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??
Our ship
Me!
Proxima!
Dad's coffee :(
D.O.R.I.S.
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!
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!)
