Felicia- Sounding Rockets are rockets that make measurements of various things. I have cats like you do. My cats are named Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltzken, and Cinderella. Cinderella is just a baby cat. They're all crazy. All homes i've seen up here are regular and have bathrooms and showers but, I don't know if the natives do or not. ------------------------------------------------------------ Robert- In Alaska there are various restaurants to get the hamburgers from. I'm not sure of the most expensive burger in Alaska but, the most expensive one i've had was 7.00 at a place called Chatinika Lodge. They do have fast food restaurants that are less expensive. No, the water is just like in Salisbury, you can have warm or cool. ------------------------------------------------------------ Tommy- I don't know if the natives are upset by the rocket launches. I haven't heard of them being mad about it. Monkey's have been sent up in space, but it's not something NASA does anymore. It is light 24 hours a day currently in Alaska. ------------------------------------------------------------ Craig- The sounding rocket will go about 100 kilometers high and, fifty kilometers away. It comes back on a parachute, then it will be launched a second time. We will get back from our trip in early to mid August. The northern lights can be seen during wintertime when it's dark all day and night. The noctilucint clouds aren't invisible, they're just rarely seen. ------------------------------------------------------------ J.W.- No I haven't gotten homesick yet. I'm coming back in mid August. I've seen a moose, a beaver, a fox, caribou and, muskox. NASA used to send animals into space but, they don't anymore. Monkeys and hampsters and dogs have been sent into space. They sent the animals into space to see what could happen to a person if they went. Alaska is fun. There is a lot to see and do. It is alot different from the flat land of Salisbury. ------------------------------------------------------------ Michael- There is nothing unusual about the toppings on the hamburger. The usual lettuce, tomato, pickles deal. I have bought one of these " MASTER" hamburgers. I enjoyed every greasy bite. I'll try to measure this burger. McDonalds, Taco Bell, and Burger King are about the cheapest places to eat. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---Kate McCarthy
