New planet anyone?

The 100 Story Building Interstellar Mission Agency has sent you on an interplanetary space exploration. 

After three months of floating in space, you finally sight a planet. You press the ‘Land’ button, and your rocket lands on it with a thud. 

You adjust your astronaut suit, take a deep breath and open the door of your rocket.

What do you see?

Describe the colour of the sky, the trees and plants, the creatures you encounter. 

What does it feel like to walk on its surface?

Do you feel you are floating or walking with heavy thuds? 

What’s the colour of water there? 

Write, draw or audio/video record what you see, and email it to us at info@100storybuilding.org.au. We will share it in our weekly round up of stories.
