Letting the Hubble float in the Middle of Nowhere

April 24, 1990 (again)

It's now been ten minutes I've been in space and I am really enjoying it. the view of Earth is fantastic! In ten minutes I will let the Hubble free and letting it take pictures of galaxies and planets far far away. I will now eat my (disgusting) lunch which I'm seriously not looking forward to. It's all dried fruit and heated meat. Why couldn't I just stay without lunch and not eat, just drink? Anyways, I got some magnetic marbles from home, which entertain me a lot. I've decided not to go to the moon. Just land back on Earth. I don't want to be that much of an astronaut and explore a lot in space. Just do these small missions like launching the Hubble. Two more minutes! I can't wait until I press that small rubbery red button. One more minute. I want it to be faster! Thirty seconds. Come on. Fifteen more seconds! Getting closer and closer! 10... 9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...WHAM!

What a feeling to smack that red rubbery round button! It was like letting all your bad feelings go away! The tip of the shuttle opened and the Hubble was in space orbiting the Earth and other things. I will be back on Earth and enjoying myself. Go back to my house and have a shower, eat normal food and playing with my cat. Oh, did I mention I have a cat called Dog? Yeah, I make weird name for pets. Back to thinking about space. I'm now playing with my magnetic marbles attaching one by one making a chain. I played for a half an hour and enjoyed it. It was VERY fun. Now I'll do some space walking. Just walking in mid air. I attached the cord to my suit and opened the door. I stepped outside with my left foot.

I let go of the handlebars and went farther out of in space. It was very fun. I tried doing a flip but didn't succeed. I couldn't turn around or do anything like that. I felt relaxed even though I'm afraid of heights. In a few minutes I will go back in and go back to Earth. right now, I'm just lying down and almost falling asleep. I think I should go back to the shuttle. I stepped inside and guided it to the round blue and green ball.

(to be continued on the same day again)
