“5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Liftoff!” The message came over the intercom, it was time. I engaged the thrusters and aimed for the NARSS(North American Recreational Space Station). This will be my home for 15 years. You are probably wondering how I got here. Ever since I was five years old, I wanted to travel to space. Due to my good grades in math and science, I was able to enter into a competition to be the first to go to a space station resort and school orbiting earth. The station was constructed in 2050 and will be open to the public in 2060. Me and 4 other people are going to test and maintain the station. “Thrusters engaged, Pod Refueled, Life Support Active, Gps set.” Said my other crew members Eli, Nathan, Wyatt, and Marc. Due to the centuries new gravitational boosters, the trip

“There has been a breach in the biosphere containment bubble,” Marc Announced, “We must fix the issue or the oxygen will leak faster, causing the breach to expand, killing us all.” We quickly went to the Emergency room and got suited up in our jet-packs. “The breach is small, and should be easy to fix, just follow the drills just like you trained.” We glided up to the damaged panel and replaced it easily. We all said,”That was easy!” Then the alarm went off again, this time, for something much worse. “There has been a rupture in the fusion reactor containment field! This is a class 10 emergency.” Said mission control. “Evacuate immediately if problem persists, you have five minutes. ” They weren’t lying. The fusion reactor is fueled with pellets of hydrogen, Tritium, and Deuterium. These elements must be heated to temperatures of one million degrees. The magnetic coils must maintain this reaction, or the reactor will shut down. But due to the extreme power costs of the station, the reactor needed to be made “Unstable”. If the reaction gets out of control, it will cause a thermonuclear explosion so large, it will vaporize the entire
