Sounds I Would Put in a Probe

Laura had to write another essay for school this week. While this one isn’t quite as fabulous as No Happy Business Day, I enjoyed it nevertheless.

Sounds I Would Put in a Probe

You would probably would think sending sounds from Earth into outer space would be crazy, but you’re wrong. It’s very important that we send sounds into outer space in case there are other species. In case you were wondering what a probe is, a probe is a machine that astronauts send into space to see if there is any more human life and if there are more planets.

But let’s get down to the sounds we send out on probes. If I were to send out a probe, I would send out one with a dog barking. A dog barking sounds like a saw going back and forth on a tree. Now some people would say why would you put a dog barking in it? I would say so they will know there are more than humans here. I would also include a baby crying and an adult talking so that they would know that the baby crying is one of our younger stages of life. I would say this because they would know that we were not born adults. I would also put in the sounds of birds chirping to show that we have music. Birds sound like the sweet blossoming of spring. I would also include water rushing, just in case they are from Mars so they know that we don’t have dry land like them. Water is important to us because it is what helps us live. My favorite sound to put on a probe would be a cat meowing because my cat will just sit on my lap for hours and purr. I would include a cat purring so the aliens can understand that dogs are not the only living things on Earth apart from humans. That’s what I would include in my probe.

Astronauts really do send out probes with sounds on them, but these are some new sounds that I thought of. If you ever get a chance, why don’t you figure out what you would put on a probe?
