Solar System Travel Brochure
Welcome to the year 2050! Humans now have the ability to travel
anywhere they want to in the solar system. Earthlings travel at the speed
of light and have advanced equipment to keep them safe and comfortable
as they visit the vast array of celestial bodies in our solar system.
Your mission is to create a travel brochure to promote the incredible
destinations our solar system has to offer. You will use facts about objects
in the solar system, promote your tour, and plan activities for tourists
while they vacation in space.
