Personal Narrative: If I Were First America

Decent Essays
Space If I was the first American to go into space I would be excited and scared. I would be excited because I would go down in history and it would be awesome hopefully. I would be scared because no American has ever done it so I didn't know if things would go south. If I'm up there in a meteor shower or something I would sue NASA for a couple million dollars! I would be really really scared if I was in a meteor shower. If I did come back alive I would say I love you earth and start kissing it.
