Have you ever wanted to be an astronaut?

Katy Brady, fifth grade, Kennedy School

“No way. I’ve seen movies about it, and I’m afraid of getting stuck up there or something else going wrong.”

Mary Brady, third grade, Kennedy School

“No because I’m scared asteroids could hit me.”

Cadence Learned, second grade, Hillcrest School

“No because I don’t want a comet to hit me, and I’m scared of space because a black hole might swallow me.”

Joe Slaugh, kindergarten, Sunset Hill School

“No because I like to play with computers more. I’d rather do that than go into space.”

Jamie Messer, second grade, Wakarusa Valley School

“No. Too many chances of getting hit by space rocks or meteorites.”

Thomas Peters, second grade, Schwegler School

“Maybe. It seems like it would be fun. Flying on the rocket ship would be the best part.”

Chase Langston, fifth grade, Sunset Hill School

“No, not really, because I get sort of sick if I’m not touching the ground.”

Kennedi Conklin, second grade, Quail Run School

“Yes because you go up in a rocket and go into space.”
