As I woke up in the morning, My heart pounded againsed my chest, It seemed to be burning through my stomich. I tripozed into my closet and opened the door and got dressed. I went down stairs for breakfast, and found there was nothing in the fridge, I would have to go to the store to pick up some food.
I got out of my car and walked to the supermarket, I went in and took some food, ate in the car, I was eating so fast that I had choked it up. I had forgotten I was GOIN' INTO SPACE TODA', what the heck was I thinking! I quickly dropped the food onto the seat next to me, and put my foot down on the pedal. On my way to the mountans, the police man stoped me cause I was speeding. I had to tell him all about my job before he let me loose. "I will deal with you after you come back" He explained as I rolled up the window.
When I got to the rocket launch, I walked through the doors to the front desk, the walls had pictures of rockets on them and little astronauts, I figured this must be the childrens meuseum. I talked to the lady at the desk and asked her when my flight would be, "In about 2 hours sir." she said. "2 HOURS!" Really that long.
About 2 hours later a man came into the waiting room and told me it was time. My phone rang. It was my wife. "Honey, good luck." she had said. "Thanks." I said back before she bursted into sobbs, I held the phone tight to my chest begging god for luck. I could hear my childrens gasbs in the backround.
I walked into a sort-of surcular room and hung on the wall was cabinets, and space suits. It was not the space ship though, but it was a small room with little circuler windows. I watched the other astronauts go put there suits on as I waited in the line. I desided to take out my phone and have a last chat with my wife untill the lady shocked me out of my mind making the disicion.
I quickly got dressed and walked into another circuler room, only with millions of buttons and some beds on the sides, 4 other people came into the room, I supposed they were my helpers aka co-workers would be better. I went and sat down into the chair. The room was fine intereor.
T-5, I could here the announcer say. 4, 3, 2, 1, and the room started to rumble under my feet, I could feel the vibrations go through my body as I sat there in the chair. Up we went. I saw outside the ground slowly went downword as we went up. The land was getting smaller and smaller as we shot up magesticly.
We were in space now. A message popped up on a giant screen above our heads that said (FREE TO MOVE AROUND THE CABIN). I got out of my seat. I had been in a craft like this before, just not like this.
We're on our way to MARS! Oh And I thought humans would never make it.
