Hi Miss.Wilson thanks for responding. Imagine what it would be like to see the launch

in person!!! What do you think? Email me back!!! Maddie.

From Madison

i think that picture was GREAT!!! I liked how it had a lot of smoke and action!!! Oh!!!

Did you know that a day on Venus is longer than a year on earth. That would be a

long day of school!!!

Hi Maddie,

I agree that was certainly an action packed picture. I didn't know the fact about the

length of day on Venus. That would be a long school day. I don't think I would want to

go to school there!!! Thanks for that piece of information.

From: Julianna

Wow that's so cool I wish I could be in that and that's a lot of smoke I like it because

the water under the rocket ship is amazing but I am afraid of hites so I probably don't

want to be on it any ways thanks for sending me the picture bye .

Hi Mrs. Wilson

The photo story is saved in astronaut parent pictures and its called juliannas photo

story.

Hi Julie,

I thought it was a cool picture also. I wonder how tall the space shuttle and the fuel

tanks were together. Do you think you can find out by going to the NASA website.

Also, how is the PhotoStory coming. Can you get it done ASAP so I can put it up on

our blog. Write a comment to go along with the PhotoStory. Make sure to tell me when

you are done.

That is an amazing picture. I wonder how they took the picture at the right time and

how they took it without being blurry. Thanks for sharing this picture with the class

and I.
