Personal Narrative: Independence To The Moon Titan

It is currently March 13,2016, the day I start my journey across the solar system. I have been hired by NASA as an astronaut and given a mission. I am in a spacecraft ready to take off from Washington, D.C. What is being brought with me on this journey is freeze-dried foods, fuel, oxygen, maps of the solar system, and star charts. The planets I am going to come across are earth, venus, jupiter, and pluto. It will take me about 43 days to reach venus. Hopefully I reach venus safely and unharmed.

I can see it through the open windows of the buildings, standing there, tall, shiny gray and with the American flag painted on the front. My hands are sweating and my heart is racing. I’ve never felt this way before, but I remember why I’m doing this and that after all I did to get here I can’t back down now. I step out of the room in the hall. I can hear the reporters and the people outside. They scream my name and the camera’s flash. I push open the door and I’m confronted with not only the hundreds of people but with my destiny. The closer I get to it, the more it seems to grow, like a weed in my mother’s garden. By the time I get to the loading ramp and stare up at it, I can no longer tell where the spaceship ends and the sky begins. The beams of sun reflect off it and blind you. I have to squint just to see my family--and my future

April 7, 2216 is the day where I felt hope had actually connected with me. A ship is headed to Planet Nine for the first time. Since I was seven years old I felt like space was the place for me, I would always look up at the stars and feel they were trying to connect.

It happened on August 20 -it was the day when me and my dad had to fly to the

Closer to the day that I was going to leave NAS Willow Grove I called my folks and told them when I was going to go home. My family was very happy that at last I was going to be with them, and Dad told me he was going to drive from West New York to the base, and pick me up to take me home. I was looking forward to seeing my parents once again. I had a lot of things I wanted to tell them, so many stories of my adventures of the past months. I was also looking forward to getting home and seeing what college I could go to now that I felt more confident about myself.

It was May 25, 2013 when I, accompanied by my friends, went on a journey that would change my

Although I have experienced a lack of motivation, I am steadily gaining back what I lost, thanks to coffee. I am excited to say that I finally got that Imiloa Astronomy Center internship. I visited Imiloa three days ago to become acquainted with the setting and learn of the tasks I will do. Kapua and I will discuss my schedule next week. Also, I plan to meet with my mentor, Ronald Laub, to discuss the topics he gave me to research, an update of my progress, upcoming events involving astronomy, and our next steps. Those are the things that are going very well so far, and as for the things that aren’t, I have to start organizing my binder and doing more research for my paper. I have a few books on astronomy and space that I would benefit from reading, not to forget

On Friday, April 17 Apollo 13 approached Earth. The astronauts got into the Odyssey and went through the Earth’s atmosphere. The connection with Mission Control got cut off for four minutes. They saw the sky turned red to pink and then to finally blue. The parachutes opened and the ship floated down to earth. Everyone was admired and surprised with the outcome of this mission. Even though they didn’t complete their original mission they got home safely. It was a successful

First, the travel will take a long ass time. When I was younger, I never thought I’d be staying up to 3-6 years in space, all spent traveling the distance to Enceladus and exploring its wonders. Because of this, my two other crewmates Lenny and Cruz and I have been trying to spend as much time with our families as time will allow while we can. It’s been really hard thinking about not being able to see my little girl grow up, and not being able to spend the little moments and the little milestones with her and my wife. It’s just been

Eventually the day I dreaded came. On February 12th, 2016 the four of us, my mom, dad, sister, and I, embarked on a journey that, little did I know, would change my outlook on sailing forever. Once I stepped foot on the Disney Wonder I told myself “It’s Disney, what could go wrong.” As soon as I walked into the stateroom I jumped on my bed and unpacked.

If I had to move out of the country I would bring many items with me. I would bring my cellphone, my laptop, clothes, a lot of pictures, makeup, shampoo, conditioner, and other personal hygiene products. I think pictures would be important to bring out of the country because you would wanna be reminded of your memories back in America. I would definitely bring my favorite blanket and pillow so I can always feel like I’m at home. I would bring my phone so I could always be in contact with my friends and family and so I could always entertain myself. I would make sure to bring the stuff in my hope chest. My hope chest has many items from my childhood such as old party decorations and toys. I’d love to bring my favorite movies because they remind me of home and who wouldn’t

The year of 2045, our journey has started. Hundred and one. That’s the number of people who were allowed for this trip. The beginning of our journey was not so pleasant. It was more like ‘forced.’ It was all started from the gigantic space rock passing by coincidently decided to fly into the trajectory of the Earth in 2045. Luckily, this was not too bad. Why? NASA’s top secret project to space travel site was on the other side of the Earth. If you are wondering why this project was done in private, the answer to it is that NASA has anticipated this huge space rock was going to hit the Earth long long time ago. Also, with the technology we have, it was quite obvious that the Earth would

The day has come, finally my very first vacation. I got up with excitement and I remember looking out my window and seeing how the sunrise was spreading across the sky. I remember my mom calling my siblings

Today’s the first day of the mission. I am currently up in my ship, The Pioneer, and I have just left Earth. I should explain what the purpose of this mission is exactly. Recently, a group of astronomers discovered an exoplanet orbiting a star a couple of light years away. The planet may be too far away from its star to be in the habitable zone, but scientist suggest that life may be possible on it due geothermal activity, keeping certain spots warm enough to support life. The only way to find out was to go there. While in the past traveling a few light years would’ve taken hundreds of Earth years, we can now reach these planets in a matter of days thanks to technology that allows our ships to create temporary wormholes. Right now, I am preparing to wormhole to this planet’s location, but I have some downtime since I must be a certain distance from Earth to activate the wormhole generator so that it won’t affect Earth, and the only way to entertain myself is by writing these journal entries or by staring out my window into the black void of space. The anticipation is growing on me like a tumour. I can only hope the all the money and supplies that went into this mission won’t go to waste.
