The intrepid astronaut boarded the bus to the launch pad. He looked out at the ocean’s sandy beach, knowing it would be weeks before he would enjoy those carefree days again. Being tertiary in succession to this hoped for position, he could not help but marvel as they approached the huge rocket that would take them on an incredible voyage. NASA had reported the lightning delay was over and clear skies would prevail. He settled into position in the small capsule and the countdown began.

I can only imagine what that journey to the launchpad would be like for an astronaut. The tangle of emotions that would be running around their head. If we ever get to a point where the SpaceX’s and Amazon’s of the world make space travel routine some of that anticipation will be lost. A great five.
