Nightflight to Venus

Nightflight to Venus

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have had a successful take-off

On this first night flight to Venus

Our flying time will be eight hours

You'll be travelling at a speed of 2,183 miles per second

That is seven and one half million miles per hour

The distance from mother earth to Venus is 60 million miles at this time

To your left you can see the mountains of the moon and right

In the centre, under a huge plastic bubble, Moon City

A boomtown if ever there was one, because of the huge gold and diamond veins

As for Venus, it took almost ninety years to cool down the planet from its 500 degrees

To the current pleasant 75 degrees and to transform the atmosphere to make it habitable For Earths people

Nightflight to Venus - Way out there in space

Nightflight to Venus - Our new favourite place

Nightflight to Venus - All systems are go

Nightflight to Venus - The sky is a-glow

Captain - unidentified object at eight o'clock

Two million miles away

Stand by for emergency manoeuver

Object coming closer with the speed of light

We have eight more seconds

Object coming closer

We have five more seconds

Change course by 4.6 degrees

Order executed

That was a close one ladies and gentlemen

A meteor just passed us on its way to infinity

Well, you can see, even in space, traffic is getting heavier all the time

Ladies and gentlemen,

In a few minutes we are going to be landing on Venus

Push the button on your left side

The safety mechanism will do the rest for you

We hope you enjoyed the world's first night flight to Venus

Have a good time there!
