It starts at the estate. We were watching TV, Reading Books and Playing Card games.
There was a knock at the door and I went to answer and we got a big surprise when I answered it. It was Bobbie Fletcher.
Me: Bobbie Fletcher.
Bobbie: Hey J.D.
Lana was shocked that her favorite race car hero is at our door.
Lana: Oh my gosh! Bobbie w-w-w-what b-b-brings you here?
Me: She's ecstatic that you're here Bobbie.
Bobbie: I can tell. I came here to tell you that another race is going on. But it's not any ordinary race. It's a never before done race around the Solar System.
Me: A Solar System Race!? Awesome!
Nicole: A Solar System Race!? That sounds like an exciting challenge!
Me: But our roadster cars can't go that fast.
Bobbie: Don't worry. The Mayor and the President already built you all super rocket cars for this. The grand prize is the Celestial Solar System Trophy and an Autograph poster of me and a picture of all of you with me.
Me: We'll be there Bobbie. Guys, we've got another race and this time it's in Space!
Everyone was excited.
At a space station next to Lincoln's sanctuary station in orbit above the Earth we were looking at a map that showed the route of the space race.
Me: Wow! This race looks awesome! Not only are we gonna see the entirety of the Solar System but we get to race through the system and see all the planets together.
Lori: This is literally going to be so much fun.
Bobby: You said it babe.
Me: Not only that but this is a race that has never been attempted before. It's a 7.4 billion mile race.
Lisa: This is going to be so exciting!
Me: I believe it Lisa. I'm excited too.
Rachel: I'm rooting for you all.
Me: Thanks Rach.
Varie: This is gonna be so awesome.
There was a fanfare and that sound meant it was time to start.
Me: Lets get in our rockets.
We did so.
Billy Natson: And Welcome to one of the biggest days in the history of mankind. Hello everyone I'm Billy Natson and never before in the history of mankind has there been a race where they travel all around the Solar System and back to Earth. Wow! Our favorite racing team that won the Off-road Race around Gotham Royal York is going to be participating in this first ever moment for you all. Never before has there EVER been a race around the entire Solar System and there will always be a first for everything.
Billy came over to me.
Billy: Are you excited for this race J.D.?
Me: You know I am Billy. I love space and learning all about it and lets cruise through the Stars! YEAH!
Billy: Love that enthusiasm J.D.! Good luck out there.
Me: Thanks Billy.
Krista came out.
Krista: Ready everyone?
We started our rocket cars.
Krista: On your marks!
We revved up our rocket cars.
Krista: Get set!
We were ready.
Krista: REV UP AND GOOOOOOOO!
We punched it and we were flying. We flew out of the Space Station at 37,000 miles per second or 20% the speed of light.
Billy: AND THEY'RE OFF! There they go Racing fans! The first ever Solar System Grand Prix is underway!
THE SUN
We were flying fast to the first obstacle. Our first hurdle was to slingshot around the Sun. At 860,000 miles in diameter and with a gravitational pull of 28 times more powerful than that of Earth we were in for a challenge.
Me: We're coming up to the Sun guys. Better put on your powerful sunblock goggles.
We did so.
We were flying towards the Sun and it was a massive ball of fire loaded with radiation and the solar flares and plasma coming off of it was incredible.
Bai Tza: This is so cool! How many Earths can fit inside the Sun?
Me: 1.3 million Earths Bai Tza.
Lincoln: That's a lot of Earths.
Bai Tza's rocket car was called Bai Tza's Watery Star Streaker and it was an aqua blue car with blue waves of water and a blue dragon on the side and the number 600 on it.
We were flying above the Sun, using it's gravity to help us slingshot around it. We saw lots of arching Solar Flares and the plasma coming off the Sun was incredible.
Inque: The Sun is an amazing star.
Inque's Rocket car was called Inque's Liquid Star Force and it was a black and blue car with waves of ink on the sides and the number 72 on it.
Me: It sure is Inque. It's the star that has been giving our Solar System light, heat and nourishment. For 5,000,000,000 years this star has been here and it's at the peak of it's evolution.
Poison Ivy: That is so amazing.
Poison Ivy's rocket car was called Poison Ivy's Plant Comet Rider and it was a green and red car with a venus fly trap on the side and the number 500 on it.
Me: It sure is Pamela.
We went around the sun and came to the next obstacle.
MERCURY
We left the Sun and we were now at the 1st planet in the Solar System: Mercury. At 3,032 miles it's the 2nd smallest planet in the Solar System. But it's also the hottest planet. The temperature during the day can rise to 801 degrees Fahrenheit and the temperature during the night can plunge to -279 degrees Fahrenheit. The planet Mercury also has more craters than any planet in the Solar System.
Lori: Wow! So that little planet is Mercury?
Me: That's right Lori. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. It's also the fastest moving planet in the solar system. At 105,947 miles per hour it takes 88 days to orbit the sun.
Luna: That is a small orbit dudes.
Luan: It sure is. How Orbital. (Laughs to Rimshot) Get it?
Most of us laugh but everyone else sighed.
Karai: (Laughs) (Japanese Accent) That was a good one Luan.
Karai's rocket car was called Karai's Stellar Shredstormer and it was a purple, red and gray car with a samurai katana and ninja stars on the side and the number 236 on the side.
Me: That was funny Luan.
Lincoln: I didn't know that Mercury had so many craters all over it.
Me: Mercury has had more meteor impacts than any other planet in the Solar System over the course of its 4.6 billion year history. The Messenger Spacecraft discovered 763 craters on Mercury and that was only the beginning of how many craters are on the planet all together.
Lynn: That is a lot of craters.
Leni: Poor Mercury.
Me: I know Leni.
We were flying over the Mercury prison.
Rhino: Is that the Mercury Prison?
Me: Yep. That's the very one Aleksei. It's in the middle of a huge 900 mile wide impact crater called Caloris Basin. It was discovered that around 3.8 billion years ago a massive 62 mile wide asteroid slammed into Mercury at that very spot with incredible force and the shockwaves from the impact caused mountains on the opposite edge of the planet from that spot to thrust upwards. Creating a chaotic terrain on the planet.
Lana: That is horrible!
Lola: No kidding!
Lisa: It is indeed a catastrophic sight to behold.
Me: If this happened on Earth today, the effects of the impact would be catastrophic.
Lincoln: No kidding.
We went passed Mercury.
VENUS
We were now at the 2nd planet from the Sun: Venus. At 67.24 million miles away from the Sun, it is the closest planet to the Earth and it's almost the exact same size. We saw Venus from space and it was beautiful.
Me: Planet Venus.
Lincoln: It's beautiful from space.
Lori: It literally is beautiful.
Me: But we were here when we fought Dr. Zalost and Venus may look beautiful from space but on the inside on the surface, Venus is Earth's Evil Twin. The temperatures on the planet can soar to 900 Degrees Fahrenheit. The Surface of the planet is hot enough to melt lead. The reason for this is because of a powerful Greenhouse Effect. The thick clouds of Venus trap the Sun's light and it bakes the surface to this temperature.
Laney: That is a strange planet.
We went down into the planet and we were flying through the clouds until we were under the clouds. We saw the surface of Venus and it was a nasty planet just as we remembered it. It was a planet of a hellish nature and it was a horrific surface.
Lana: This planet is so scary.
Lily: It sure is. Venus may be beautiful outside. But inside it's pure evil.
Sam S.L.: Just take away the clouds and you see Venus' true colors. A world of pure evil.
We saw the clouds of Venus light up with lightning and volcanoes on the planet were erupting and lava flows were not cooling down. It was also raining down Sulfuric Acid. But luckily our ships were equipped with shields that allow us to go to other planets. No matter how inhospitable.
Laney: This is not rain is it?
Me: No Laney. This is not rain here on Venus. It's sulfuric acid. Another reason Venus is so dangerous is because its atmosphere is made of 98% Carbon Dioxide and 1.5% Sulfuric Acid.
Lisa: That is correct and that's one of the things that make the Venusian atmosphere so dangerous.
We flew out of the planet and left for the next planet.
EARTH
We were flying passed the Earth.
Me: There it is guys. Our home planet Earth. At 93 million miles away from the Sun, Earth is just at the right distance for liquid water to form and for life to flourish.
Lisa: Affirmative 2nd Elder Brother. This zone for Earth to get life is called The Goldilocks Zone.
Me: That's right. Our planet is considered an oasis in the Galaxy.
Teresa: I love our planet.
Teresa's rocket car is called Teresa's Sonic Soundbullet and it was a pink and brown car with sonic waves and feathers on the sides and the number 74 on it.
Me: Earth is an amazing planet in our galaxy.
MARS
We were now at the 4th planet from the Sun: Mars.
Me: Here we are guys. Planet Mars, 141.6 million miles from the Sun.
Lynn: Mars looks interesting.
Clayface: It sure is a strange planet.
Clayface's rocket car is called Clayface's Shapeshifting Speedster and it was a brown car with clay shapes on it and it had the number 821 on it.
Me: It has been that way for years Matt.
We went down to the planet and its surface was so barren and desolate.
Laney: It looks like a giant rusty nail.
Me: It does look that way. It's like this because the surface is covered with red dust which has iron in it. It looks pale pink in the sky at night when you see it because of this.
Lincoln: That is so cool.
We were flying around the biggest and tallest volcano in the Solar System: Olympus Mons.
Me: This is the biggest volcano in the Solar System guys. Olympus Mons. At 16 miles high or 84,440 feet at 326 miles in diameter at its base, it is easily the biggest mountain in the Solar System.
Rhino: This is absolutely incredible.
Rhino's rocket car was called Rhino's Stampeding Zoomer and it was a grey and black car with rhinoceroses on the sides and the number 546 on it. A rhino horn was on the front of the car.
Shocker: It sure is Aleksei.
Shocker's rocket car was called Shocker's Sonic Lightning Streaker and it was a yellow and blue car with lightning on the sides and the number 412 on it.
We saw up ahead a huge Martian dust storm and there were tornadoes of dust as well.
Me: Mars is also known for its extremely violent dust storms. The dust devils on Mars are bigger than all the buildings in New York City.
Lori: That is literally intense.
Me: It sure is. And Mars is also said to be a candidate for human colonization. But we've run into some problems because of it. Mars has almost no atmosphere. Asteroids caused this to happen to it and because of all the asteroid impacts that hit it over the course of 4.6 billion years, this almost completely exposed it to the Sun's lethal ultraviolet radiation. Not even a spacesuit can protect you from it here.
Luna: That is rough dude.
Me: Yeah.
JUPITER
We were flying by the biggest planet in the Solar System. The 5th planet: Jupiter.
Me: There it is guys. Jupiter, the 5th planet from the Sun and the largest planet in the Solar System.
Lori: It is literally as big and beautiful as I remember it.
Shego: It's beautiful too.
Shego's rocket car is called Shego's Green Flamerider and it was a green and black car with green fire on the sides and it had the number 921 on it.
Me: It sure is Shego.
We saw all kinds of storm clouds all over the giant planet and it had all kinds of violent activity.
Me: At 88,486 miles in diameter, Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System and it is 1 and a half times the size of all the other planets put together.
Laney: That is amazing.
Lily: I can't believe that it is so beautiful.
Me: Jupiter is 483.8 million miles away from the Sun and it's visible in the night sky.
Bowser Jr.: It's beautiful.
Bowser Jr.'s rocket car is called B.J.'s Flaming Shellshredding Zoomer and it was a green, red and black car with flames on the sides and it had the number 912 on it.
Me: You said it B.J.
SATURN
We were now flying by Saturn, the 6th planet and it was the most beautiful planet out of all the planets in the Solar System.
Me: There it is guys. Planet Saturn, the 6th planet from the Sun. 890.8 million miles away from the Sun and 74,898 miles in diameter. It sure is a beautiful planet.
Laney: I like Saturn the most out of all the planets in the Solar System.
Lori: Me too Laney. It's literally a beautiful planet.
Demona: I like Saturn out of all the planets as well.
Demona's rocket car is called Demona's Nocturnal Nightrider and it was a black, purple and blue car with the moon, stars and black fire on the sides and the number 563 on it.
Francis: I can't believe that Saturn has so much beauty out of all the planets in the Solar System.
Francis' rocket car was call Francis Stone's Volcano Fireball Roadburner and it was a red car with orange and yellow fire and it had the number 247 on it.
Me: Saturn is also the most electrically charged planet in the Solar System and it has more powerful lightning than Earth does.
Luna: We were shocked dude!
Luan: (Laughs) Good one Luna.
Me: That wasn't a joke but I get it.
URANUS
We were now flying by the 7th planet in the Solar System: Uranus.
Me: 7th Planet in the Solar System guys. Planet Uranus.
Shego: It sure is blue.
Laney: I didn't know it was tilted so much.
Me: That's because millions of years ago a meteor crashed into it and caused Uranus to get tilted sideways. It's now at a 98 degree axis and it looks like it's rolling along its orbit because of it.
Lori: That is literally strange.
Me: The coolest part about Uranus is that a season on the planet lasts 21 years. Uranus has an orbital period of 84 years and if you were born on Uranus in the Summer, you would never have to go to school.
Lincoln: That would be so cool!
Lana: It sure would! We would go to the beach every day.
Lori: That would literally be amazing.
Me: It would be the greatest beach life ever.
NEPTUNE
We were now at the 8th planet, Neptune.
Me: Here we are guys. Planet Neptune, the 8th planet from the Sun.
Neptune was so beautiful and it was the most beautiful blue in the Solar System.
Lana: Neptune is sure beautiful.
Me: Yeah it sure is.
Lola: Hey guys look there.
Lola pointed to a dark blotch on the planet.
Lola: What's that dark blue blotch on the planet?
Me: That is a storm called the Great Dark Spot. It's an 8,100 mile wide storm that circles Neptune.
Leni: That storm totes goes well with Neptune.
Me: It sure does Leni. Here's an interesting fact. If we went the speed limit from Earth to Neptune at 70 miles per hour, it would take us 5,327 years to get here.
Lincoln: That is a really long time!
Laney: No kidding.
PLUTO
We were at the 9th planet, the newly reinstated Pluto.
Me: Here we are guys. The 9th Planet, Pluto. 3.9 billion miles away from the Sun and the Farthest planet in thr Solar System.
We saw that Pluto was much more amazing than what we first thought back a long time ago. Pluto was much too blurry to see from the images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope because of its distance away from the Sun. But the images from the New Horizons Satellite gave us an amazing and detailed view of Pluto back in 2015. We saw all kinds of icy features on Pluto and it was a breathtaking marvel.
Laney: Wow! Pluto is so amazing.
Lincoln: It sure is. I never knew it had so many amazing terrain landscapes.
Lisa: Indeed it does elder brother and it is the most amazing planet in the Solar System.
Me: It sure is Lisa. Look behind us. Look how tiny the Sun is from here.
We did so and we saw that the Sun looked as small as all the other stars in all of the galaxy.
Lana: The Sun is that small from here?
Me: It sure is.
We passed Pluto and went back to Earth and the race back home was on. The finish line was in Gotham Royal York.
RACE FOR THE FINISH LINE
We were blazing through the Solar System back to Earth to finish the race and Laney was in the Lead and she was doing really well.
We were trying to catch up to her and we were already at Mars and she was really gunning it. We got back to Earth fast.
Me: Planet Earth ho!
We reentered the planets atmosphere and we came in above the country and just as we landed Laney crossed the finish line first, Lincoln was second and me third.
Billy Natson: And the winner is Laney Loud!
Laney: I won? I WON!
Me: Way to go Laney!
Lincoln: That's my little sis!
Laney was awarded the Solar System Race trophy. It was the first ever trophy she ever won as well as the first ever race she had won. We were so proud of her.
THE END
