i went to space!

going to space was the most incredible experience of my life. after years of preparation and training, i finally got the chance to board the cosmic box. the launch itself was intense. the power of the rocket engines beneath me felt unreal. once we reached orbit, everything changed. seeing earth from space was absolutely breathtaking. the curvature of the planet, the blues and greens, and the thin atmosphere were mesmerizing. i spent time floating around, getting used to zero gravity, and taking in the view through the spacecraft’s windows. orbiting earth gave me a whole new perspective on our planet. watching the sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes was magical.it was all the deep black of space i saw, no stars. it was a life-changing journey that reminded me of how small we are in the universe and how important it is to protect our home.
