Space Race

Dear Princess Celestia,

It took us through Luna VI, but we finally sent a rocket into space. One could say that the V mission was also moderately successful, although that ship traveled at a rather more horizontal direction than anyone wanted, but VI was the real deal. I could just cry.

In fact, I will cry, because shortly after escaping the atmosphere, the Luna VI collided with the Poniet probe, destroying all the scientific instruments aboard both crafts. Just for fun, I’ve quickly approximated the probability of this event happening, and it seems to be no greater than a 1/3600000 chance, and that’s being generous. While Pinkie finds a way to spin the crash to the press, I’ll be having fun skimming some books on astrology. You never know, I might just find something relevant.

Please help,

Twilight Sparkle
