We were ready for launch. I took a deep breath and my hands gripped on the wheel. I was the pilot for the first mission to go to Mars. It was going to be spectacular. I was actually nervous, I mean who wouldn't? We were going millions of miles away from home and going to another planet. We'll never see our families again except for video calls, which have a 20 minuted delay. I have to say, this is going to be interesting. We'll be occasionally recorded and the video will be sent to NASA to see how we are doing, but that would also be a 20 minute delay. Speaking of that, we are being recorded right now and the video will be sent to the public so they can see the launch. I take another breath and look at Pedro. We hear the countdown. "60...45...34...29...20...10...3..2..1, Blast off!" The speed surprises me as I bang my head on the chair. I cringe and close my eyes because the wind hurts them. everyone is strapped in and some look out the window waving goodbye at Earth which will be the last time they see it up close.
After 10 minutes, we slowed down like when an airplane after takeoff. I leave Pedro and float into the air. It was really weird with no gravity around and everyone else doing the sam (except for Pedro). We all smiled with amazement. The launch went great. We all bumped into each other and laughed. I went back to my job and Pedro feel the zero gravity atmosphere. I felt so much adrenaline and excitement. Who wouldn't feel this way?! We are going to Mars! Another 10 minutes passed by and I was already hungry. I said to Jordan, "Can you give me a granola bar?" He looked around and said, "I don't even know where they are. Sorry" I frowned and turned to pedro. "Do you know where any snacks are? I'm starving like crazy!" he looked at me and shrugged. Someone else spoke up and said, "They are in the cabinet next to you." I got the bar and ate it up and then focused on my job.
It was already night time which was probably the worst experience in my whole life! I had to sleep on the ceiling in a strap-in sleeping bag which wasn't comfy. I barely had any sleep the first 2 days and was getting very tired from my job so i left it to Pedro and I decided to finally get sleep. I didn't get much, but it would do. I had a video chat with my family which I was happy to see because I was going to miss them. I continued my job on the 3rd day but I had to investigate when something was acting up. I looked to see a screw loosened which was easy to fix. This was a minor problem which got fixed quickly.
The 4th day, I had gotten a little sick from the zero gravity and I wasn't loving the exercise either. Even though Jordan said it was so we weren't weak when we got to Mars, I didn't like it or want to do it but I knew what would happen, so I listened. I had to drink lots of milk so I could have calcium for my bones. My job got very stressful because if you press one button that wasn't supposed to be the button you were going to press, you could kill these people on the ship and this whole trip would be over and millions of dollars that were spent by NASA was just wasted. I got over this, when I saw my family on the video chat. It made me happy and everyone else too to the point where people would be talking t their families 24/7.
The 5th day of the spaceship trip, I had gotten bored. All I had was a computer which I got kinda bored of after I played games 5 hours straight when I should have been sleeping. I had some fidgets like a fidget spinner but you could sometimes get bored of that after an hour or so. I was completely bored, same with everyone else. I looked around sometimes and found Connor, Jack, Cole and some others looking out the window because they were bored too. I had gotten back to deep sleeps like when I was on Earth because I had gotten used to the sleep I guess. the 6th day went the same but I had a dentist appointment, and had no cavitives. Some people had gotten sick from the zero gravity too, like me when I had to go to the doctor on my 4th day.
The 7th day of my adventure in space wasn't very interesting. I did my job and had to fix a minor repair with Pedro but other than that, everything was normal. I had gotten to the part of the trip where I got used to everything like sleeping and my job, and same with the 20 minute delay for the video chats which was surprising. The food did get annoying though, and sometimes I wasn't in the mood and exercising got fun for me, which i never would predict would happen...
