The Galactic Adventure

As the minute hand zoomed around the clock 17 times and read 17:59 three figures emerged from different directions through the mist. As they collided and bumped into each other they shook hands and huddled close together whispering. Certain words were heard like “Jake you twit” and “Polly persuade”  as the clock chimed out 18 times the group parted and walked through the mist.

The Mystery of Pokemon.
 Shelby was a town high in the misty mountains of Mount Cuddles. The mountains were called that because when looked at from afar it looked like the mountains were hugging each other. The town was a beautiful place with all sorts of flowers sprouting up everywhere and a small forest where sun shined through the gaps of the trees and when the sun set the town turned a lovely golden colour. The gentle lake which circled the mountain lapped and sang all day.

 A clock chimed after mid night, and up in space a spaceship was sailing of to space All was well but suddenly a black hole came from the dissidence and it stormed up.The spaceship went down and down and in to the black hole.

   A long time ago on a spaceship there were two ladies on their way to mars. But suddenly behind them a rock hit the spaceship. One of the ladies saw that the back of the spaceship was ruined. 

In space there was nothing in the distance, not even one single planet. A space ship bursts out into space at fifteen o’clock. There was 2 men in the space ship, the captain was called Ernie and a scientist called Tom and they were trying to see if there was a planet to land on with interesting information.

What other factors might make a difference to how far the rocket would travel?
