Space travel, according to our 9 year old

DateWednesday, October 19, 2011 at 05:06AM

The kids like to lay in their bunk in the V-berth and talk in the morning.  I love to listen to their conversations, especially when Aethan shares his expert authority on worldly topics with Graeme.  This morning, Aethan was telling Graeme about space travel, and that you cant take a space ship to the sun.  He explained though people have tried, they all burned up and never made it. 

I asked him why didnt they just go at night?

He looked at me like I was clueless, shook his head at my naivety, and explained that is when they went to the moon!
