The Space Adventures of Taylor and Tracy... Juniors

Finished around mid-January.

I'm back! Woo-hoo!

Sorry for such a delay. Anyway, here it is.

Another hard one for Shortest Thoughts. But this ep is not included in The Hood story arc, why am I finding difficulties in this one?

There are a lot that I can tell in this cool mission. I'll divide it and try my best to shorten each. Grandma might call me for chores.

The Second Person Who Had Set Foot on Mars

John told us the situation and we needed more help, someone who has experienced being on Mars, like Captain Taylor, Dad's best friend. John called Kayo to find him, which took her time because he's hard to reach. He must have spent his retirement somewhere that tourists don't usually go. Kayo found him mountain climbing in the cold wind. So, yeah. He and Dad went to outer space together. They also broke records, such as being the first humans to set foot on Mars. And, is making an ion particle accelerator for Thunderbird 3 included? That would give credit to Brains.

Is There Life on Mars?

After going through all sorts of media about space, I still believe that there are aliens living on Mars. Even when we got to Thunderbird 3, I asked Captain Taylor if he encountered aliens when he and Dad first got there. We also watched some alien footage while we were traveling.

Okay, maybe not. Dad didn't tell anything about aliens living in Mars too. It'll take some time to discover.

No Chance for Trying Defense Modules

Last time when we met Captain Taylor at the Shadow Alpha One, he and Scott used a defense module to blast the meteors heading for the base. Right now, Brains made a new defense module installed in the Pod Explorer. Scott deployed with the pod to blast asteroids out of the Helius' way. Okay, it's Scott again with a defense module from us and I still haven't had the chance to blast a rock in space. I'm still wondering when will I get to do it. Not just for fun, I just want to try it.

Of course, I'm piloting Thunderbird 3, and I'm guiding Helius to safer spots. I still have more missions to come, maybe someday.

Helping Hand

Captain Taylor helped Dr. Travers repair the systems, Scott blasted some of the asteroids, and I helped steer the Helius out of the asteroid belt. When a problem occurred, we're there to lend a helping hand. It's a big ship, we're talking about several families in there who are going to live on Mars. So yeah, risky jobs, but it went well.

And Scott was concerned about me after using Thunderbird 3's heat shield, while I replied back about how he was when they were going for a bumpy ride to Mars.

Another Relic from Dad

We made it, and the colony is safe. Later, Scott and I saw Captain Taylor looking at something on the ground. It was actually Dad's footprint when he and Captain Taylor first set foot on Mars. "To be honest, Alan, I thought Dad was just telling a story," Scott said when we were heading for home.

Dad has left his marks, but I still don't quite remember most of them. Sigh.

All in all, it was awesome. We got to learn from Captain Taylor's tips and stories. We hope that he still remembers our names when we see him again.
