Imagine for a second we are in the year 2112 and
civilian planetary space travel is an everyday event. Take a look at what a
travel brochure might look like for your favorite planet.
Things to see on Neptune
Go to Neptune and see its eight satellites
all at the same time. Site seers will love Neptune's beautiful moons and the
interesting rings surrounding the planet. The satellites have different shapes
and who knows you may find a new undiscovered moon! Get your tickets soon,
until early 1999 Neptune is the furthest planet in our solar system. After that
Pluto will take its rightful place as the furthest planet.
Cool things to do on Neptune
Neptune’s surface is mostly covered with
ice, so if you like ice-skating, feel free to start your own hockey league or a
figure skating contest. Go and ride on the biggest roller coaster you have ever
seen. Just get a free ticket and go for a ride on Neptune’s rings and enjoy. A
Neptune year is almost 165 earth years, so if you move or travel to Neptune you
would live longer. On earth you can visit not only one moon, but on Neptune you
have eight different moons’ to see and visit and take in all their different
colors and nuances. Neptune can also be very warm and sunny if you want to work
on your tan a little bit.
Protecting you on Neptune
Parts of Neptune are very cold but with our
brand new super heated suits, you won’t have to worry. Neptune's atmosphere
lacks some basic components for people to be able to live on the planet. We
bring some from the earth, so you’ll be just fine. Our very big and strong
winds may be the toughest problem but the huge protection walls will stop the
wind and at the same time we’ll be able to get energy and heat.
Basic facts
Neptune is only 4.347 X 10^6 km from earth
and one day is a little shorter than you are used to, only 16.1 hours. Its
revolution is almost 165 earth years so it’s going to be a long summer! The
atmosphere is of 74% hydrogen, 25% helium and 1% methane. Neptune has a lot of
clouds and a very thick atmosphere. Neptune is 17.2 times as massive as the
earth.
