At the end of chapter three, Mr. Bedford is having an internal conflict about whether or not he should actually attempt to go to the moon. In about 150 words, write a letter to Mr. Bedford from his future self. Offer advice as to whether he should go with Mr. Cavor, or not. Provide at least three reasons to convince him.

Key Point! Whenever you argue a point, consider the reader's counter-arguments. What reasons does Mr. Bedford have for wanting to go and what reasons does he have for not going? Be sure to confront these in your letter.
