Not long after, we lift into the air, faster than the speed of light, and leaving a trail of fire, matching to the temperature of the sun. I can feel the force on my face, starting to droop and drag due to the G-Forces. While it sounds painful, it was a dream come true. I was in ecstacy, having a lifelong dream finally come true. After two or three minutes, I feel my face lift again, and the rumble of the boosters dims down. I can feel the zero gravity kick in, and finally, I'm in space.]]> 2022-03-09 17:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/1313196/Bookmarks/wish/2086511692 1313196 https://padlet.com/1313196/Bookmarks/wish/2105610685 June 15, 1963
I can still feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins from yesterday, and I think it'll be a core memory for life. The goal of my cosmonaut trip is to complete the longest solo trip in history, five days to be exact. While only one day has passed, I could stay up here forever. Even though I'm all alone, I don't feel lonely yet. Throughout the day, I'm tweaking with the lab experiments and eating space food, dehydrated vegetables and noodles in tin foil bags. In all honesty, I think I could stay up here forever. I do still feel bad for the other two cosmonauts that got their place stolen by me. Originally, I was not in the top six to go to space, but Kartashov and Varlamovgot injured during training, so me and another cosmonaut came instead. When I return, I'm going to visit them.]]> 2022-03-21 15:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/1313196/Bookmarks/wish/2105610685 1313196 https://padlet.com/1313196/Bookmarks/wish/2105619694 June 17, 1963
So far, I'm three days into my five day trip, and I've completed so many orbits around the Earth I've lost count. While I do love everything about space (the views are amazing), I do miss home quite a lot. My mother was very worried when I announced I was going to space, and I do love and miss her dearly. I don't have anyone else to talk to up here, except for mission control, and they're not exactly social butterflies. I miss Moscow, and everyone I love there. While it has been fun, I cannot wait for this fever dream to end.]]> 2022-03-21 15:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/1313196/Bookmarks/wish/2105619694
