Our Trip to the Planetarium (Aidan)

~Planetarium~

Hi. I'm Rus. We went on an exciting trip to the planetarium to learn about the Apollo missions. We first learned about something called max Q. Max Q is when a rocket hits twice the speed of sound. If the rocket does not break it will disintegrate. Another thing we learned about was different orbits. The inner orbit and outer orbit are the two different kinds of orbits. If you want to get into an inner orbit you have to go slowly. Once you get into an inner orbit you start to speed up. To get out of an inner orbit you have to speed up when you leave an inner orbit you can enter into an outer orbit. When you enter an outer orbit you slow down. To drop back int an inner orbit you slow down. When you hit an inner orbit you speed up. So in orbits you speed up to slow down and slow down to speed up. We also learned about some of the missions. I had so much fun at this exciting trip to the Planetarium!
