Interesting little story. Needs some grammatical editing, and the "surprise twist" at the end is cool until you realize that comets are generally SMALLER than planets.

The writing has a young-adult feel to it, maybe because it's all summary with almost no scene or dialogue. It's got a very Twilight-Zone style ending. Reminds me of something that might be found in an old magazine for children.
Very interesting

This would make a great Sci-Fi Hour Program on television. Too bad that Twilight Zone is no longer active. This would have been fantastic done there for television. I can picture it now as computer generated effects show the images while THE SHIP is out there.
Kept me interested
