“Captain, we are almost there. What do you want us to do?”

Twenty years of plans. Twenty years of wondering. Twenty years and our spaceship was about to arrive. What will we find? Was the information we were given correct? As the captain of the spaceship, I would soon know.

Where are we? We are coming to the nearest star to the sun. It takes 4 light years to go to this star. We have taken almost twenty years. We have the largest spaceship that has ever been built.

We had a simple way of traveling. We learned from bears how to sleep for a long time without getting sick or dying. We should sleep for eleven months. We would work for one month. Then we would go back to sleep for eleven months. I found it unusual to have my calendar(日历) always read March. That was the month I was awake. I have lived in the month of March for the last twenty years.

Here we are. We are coming near to this new star. There is a planet that is supposed to be like earth here. Will it be? Will we be able to live here?

I have to get busy now. We will start to wake up all of the other people. They will also want to see this. We have people from every place on earth. Think of all that we will get to see here. This is something to really get excited about.

I have to go. Have a good day. Wish us good luck.
