Finally the long awaited day arrived and the space camp began : Rocket kid met many guys like him who were fond of space . Rocket had so many questions to ask : what will the space really be like ? Who first discovered the planets ? Why has no human being ever managed to go there ?
After these reflections Rocket approached to his teacher , he didn ’ t know that she was an astronaut and she was also the first woman landed on the Mars planet .
During the first lesson the teacher opened a debate and she took a big crate and showed it to the boys : they asked to the teacher what this object was , because they had never seen a similar object in their whole life ; the teacher , in a quiet way , explained them that it was an augmented reality spacecraft that takes you into the space , if you want to reach a planet it will send you there fastly . Rocket couldn ' t wait his dream comes true .
The class began the preparations to go to Mars and finally everything was ready : as in a dream , they got into the crate and everything was shrouded in a confused fog . then Rocket perceived that the spacecraft had been thrown into space .
They saw luminous fireballs whizzed , he could see them through the tiny portholes cut into the ship . His eyes , blinded by the light , began to close . So as soon as they arrived on Mars he reopened his eyes , he expected something more beautiful ... but in any case he could not believe that he was on another planet , having travelled in the space and having seen things that few are allowed to see .
In two days , Rocket and his group visited the entire red planet thoroughly and even if they do not find any living beings , they were amazed by the colors of the earth , the strange objects found there and the atmosphere . Up there in the infinite space it was a whole different music . Rocket enjoyed every moment of the fabulous journey and wished it would last forever , never returning to the Earth .
But the teacher brought them back and so they returned to the university .
Rocket was still in disbelief of this trip , so he went home , to tell everything to his mother .
