The Day of the Launch

It is the day after I told you my mission, which means September 2, 2010. My shuttle looks as shiny as a button. Its called Apollo 20, the biggest Space Shuttle in the world. My rocket is going to shoot up any minute now. I can here the people counting down. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0! I was shooting up like a bullet.

(To much smoke, cough cough)

I got up this morning and ate some cereal. I almost forgot about the launch. I quickly got in my space suit and my mom drove me to NASA. I got inside the rocket. Apollo 20's rockets fired. I heard a roar and slowly lifted up into the air. I heard people shouting with happiness. Forty seconds later I was travelling faster than the speed of sound. Then the first stage rocket was released from the space craft. The second stage rocket falls off. The third stage rocket takes the shuttle out of the Earths atmosphere and into orbit 184 km above the Earth. Less than three hours later the rocket fires again, launching the ship to the Hubble Space Telescope. In no time I was already floating in zero gravity. I have to stay up in space for about five days. If I stayed there for five nights my bones would get soft and my muscles too. I will be like that for five days when I get back to Earth. I have to do some trainig now. Wonder how it will be like.
