Has anyone from your country been in space? What was their mission?

Reading

Captain Lewis and his crew had the ringed planet in their sight. They would launch the shuttle from here."We've transmitted readings of the atmosphere, Captain. You'll need your spacesuits, as there is no oxygen present on the surface of X974," said astronaut, Murphy."Let's put those suits on, then, Roberts. We've just entered X974's orbit.

Space Explorers

Lewis and Roberts boarded the module and landed on X974. They were careful to avoid the large rocks that covered the planet's surface.

The astronauts set out to explore the planet."Consider, we are the first humans to stand on this planet, sir!" Roberts said over the headset. Lewis could tell his colleague was excited."We are, Roberts. So let's not forget to bring our test materials, so we can discover everything possible," replied the captain.

Several hours into the mission, the astronauts were collecting samples when an odd ship floated towards them.

Nervously, the waited for the ship to land while they considered the danger. This was an alien ship, a species humans had not studied. Would they be peaceful?Captain Lewis put down the samples he was carrying and took out a white flag. When an alien being exited the ship he said, "We come in peace," and waved the white flag.
