4-year-old Travis Howley, and his brother, Patrick took the suggestion to heart, writing a letter for their mail carrier, Michele Kinney.

She and Travis made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and she wrote what he wanted to say in a little thank you note.

SpaceX’s latest prototype exploded while landing on Tuesday.
The steel Starship prototype Serial Number (SN9) went up in flames at the end of a successful high-altitude test from Boca Chica, Texas.
After launching, the rocket reached an altitude of 32,800 feet before turning to a horizontal “belly flop” position. It then attempted to land upright, but came in “too fast and at a bad angle” before ending in a fiery explosion, according to the broadcast.
The incident was similar to what occurred in December, when the SN8 rocket was destroyed.
Elon Musk, CEO of the space company, made no comment on the latest explosion.
