When I grow up, I hope to become a cosmonaut. I want to be a cosmonaut
because I am fascinated by the sky, stars, planets, and asteroids. It appears
to be a mystery to me, and I'd like to learn more about it. I'd like to know
how it feels and what it looks like above the clouds. In the morning and at
night, I see the sun, moon, and stars in the sky. They are all stunning, but
they are a long distance apart. I want to go see them up close and
personally touch their land. I'd like to know how far the moon is, how hot
the sun is, and how many stars there are.
