I can't do this Lance repeats to himself as he feels the pressure building up in his spacesuit. The pressure stops up his ears deadening the sound of mission control droning on and on in the helmet headpiece. The synthetic sounding voice of the mission commander is saying something about launch conditions, but Lance can only hear his heart pounding in his ears. He clenches his eyes tighter, so he doesn’t have to see the technicians activating switches inside the console and seeing to it that his restraints are in order.

Hazy New World
The darkness was so different in space, when I opened my eyes all I could see was the blinking red light that reminded me it was time to get up. I rolled back and forth, with the sun being millions of miles away it was harder for my body to wake itself up even though this one was the day my entire life was going to change. I pushed the red button and the dark rectangle that looked like any other wall with nothing on it phased away and Saturn appeared. The button was now green, and I yet again got to wake up to see Saturn instead of the Sun. It was an image I could never grow tired of watching ...
