5. Page 49: Use your English! One day, millions of years in the future, the Sun is going to explode. Unfortunately, we can´t prevent this from happening and it means that humans won´t be able to live on Earth anymore. Luckily, we have lots of time to prepare for it. It´s likely that this preparation will involve working out how to travel very long distances through space, and involve visiting/ finding another suitable planet to live on. We will/ also need a planet that doesn´t go round the Sun but orbits another star instead. The nearest one is a very long way away. With the technology we have today, the journey will take 50,000 years! If we can discover a way to travel much faster – at just below the speed of light – then the journey will be very quick: only six years!
