Professor Airey had this uncanny ability to get Kate REALLY excited about Astronomy and REALLY hyper about classroom activities all at the same time. Sometimes, she found herself just wanted to get up and DANCE, even though she never, EVER would. Nevertheless, he suddenly had her all excited about a trip to outer space, even though she'd never once thought about going.

Her hand darted enthusiastically into the air. "Because we always want to know more about the unknown!" she said. "We know what's here on Earth, because we're here, too. Space is a big, open area of darkness and far away bodies that we can't just look out and see. It's the same with that box." Her blue eyes zoomed in on the box, and she suddenly wanted to just tear it open like a Christmas present. "We're so interested in it, because we don't know what it is, and it also has a big question mark on it, which makes us wonder about it."

What do we want to do?! OPEN THE BOX! When do we want to do it?! RIGHT NOW!!!
