When I was in 5th grade, our substitute teacher told us about a scene in the movie Summer School where the English teacher character gave the students a persuasive writing assignment. One of the students wrote a boycott letter to a sunglasses company complaining about their product and, in response, got a box of free sunglasses:
We were assigned the similar task and my letter to NASA is reproduced below.
NASA actually responded, via Third Class Mail (now refereed to as Marketing Mail), and sent me this package of photographs, info sheets, and a Q/A pamphlet with responses to questions such as “Why not spend the money here on Earth?”
My favorite part of this whole thing is the way my Dad addressed the envelope to NASA which is simply to “The Director, Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center” in Houston!
