Designing your Travel Brochure, part 2

You'll need to think about the sights to see along your trip from the perspective of a tourist.   Are there noticeable features to see?   The possibility of surfing in an alien ocean?  Fossil studies to go to?

Assume you will spend at least a month at each location.  Is there a 'top 5' list you should visit, in terms of geological significance (plates, volcanoes, oceans, landmarks?).  You should already know this

How long will it take to get there?  To do the math, use the distances found in an orrery.  Here's one and here's another sample that would have been useful yesterday (thanks, Josh)


While your spaceship may travel at the speed of the space shuttle, it may take a while to get there.  Will you have a lovely greenhouse?  Special spacesuits designed for ventures outside the planet?


Your brochure must be ready by Monday.  I would suggest a shared google presentation or folder that can serve as a 'digital brochure.'   Let me know if you need some help.

This is a 40 point project, which means it is as valuable as a test.   Choose wisely what you will do.
