Dad had lost his job at the gypsum, and when Christmas came that year, we had no money at all.

He explained to me that planets glowed because reflected light was constant and stars twinkled because their light pulsed. \"I like it anyway\" I said. \"What the hell,\" Dad said. \"It's Christmas. You can have a planet if you want.\" And he gave me Venus. Venus didn't have any moons or satellites or even a magnetic field, but it did have an atmosphere sort of similar to Earth's, except it was super hot-about 500 degrees or more. \"So,\" Dad said, \"when the sun starts to burn out and Earth turns cold, everyone might want to move to Venus to get warm.
