Carbon Dioxide
With clouds filled with Sulphuric
acid you should not carry any
limestone on you, therefore make
sure umbrellas and good shelter will
help you with a not very enjoyable
holiday in a hotter planet then
Mercury. Beware of the power of
pressure Or your hopes for a perfect
holiday will be crushed.
Earth
As you may or may not know of
the Earth’s statistics, here are
a few to get your brains
racing, which are over on the
other side.
If you are a holiday
maker visiting Earth be in
disguise if you don’t want to be
experimented on, and also do
not come here if you are
allergic to nitrogen, oxygen or
hydrogen.
The Moon
It takes the moon 1
moonth or month to
orbit our Earth, it is
pulled by the earth’s
gravity and has 1 fifth
of the the earth’s
gravitational pull.
The moon has
some beautiful sites,
with the Apollo sites
and the sea of
tranquillity, but don’t
bring a costume
because you might dive
into nothing!
Mars
If you are an
Earthling then the
safest planet to visit
id Mars.
The red
planet provide some
great places for
having a picnic on Mt.
Olympus.

Pluto and Charon are
quite far out in the Solar
system and are yet to
become too much of a
tourist attraction - it is
probably due to the tiny
size of this planet and
moon. Nonetheless Pluto
and Charon are quite nice
to visit because of the
lack of crowds. Its quite
a trip though so bring an
extra warp drive it’s a
long long long long long
way to get back without
one.
Comets and meteors
If you are low on fuel you may be tempted to hitch a lift on a
comet of a meteorite. This is not recommended though as
these can be unpredictable and very fast. Comets are best
viewed from a little way away and are a great spectacle. If
you prefer fireworks though follow a meteorite - if your lucky
it’ll hit something and you can watch those sparks fly. A word
of warning however, Just don’t be sat on the meteorite at the
time!
