Dear TFK...

The way NASA's Spirit spacecraft landed on Mars was really awesome ["Touchdown!" 1/16]. It's so cool that we can see what Mars looks like and find out if there was ever life on the planet. I hope that Opportunity, the other craft, makes it to Mars too.

NASA scientists must be happy that Spirit is working well. Imagine if it had traveled 105 million miles and then broken down. That would be so disappointing! When I get older, I want to be an astronaut. Maybe I'll be the first person to walk on Mars.

I think it's amazing that a bedtime story could be turned into a book and a movie ["All in the Family," 1/16]. I can't believe that an 11-year-old girl wrote part of Lionboy. She must be a very good writer.

That book about Bhutan costs a lot, even if it is the biggest book ever made [Spotlight, 1/16]. It's not fair to some people who don't have a lot of money but still want the book. It should cost $5.
