Not everyone has the chance to ride the Kennedy space center simulator but my opportunity came today. No more videos, it’s going to be the actual ‘thing. We walked onto a ramp that brought us to a green screen where we obtain our picture taken, and after the ride they gave us a chance to buy the picture where they edited an orange astronaut suit on us.

After that went through with success, he said, “If something happened to go wrong, you wouldn’t have enough fuel to return to the Kennedy Space Center. Hopefully you like Spain because that’s where you’ll be landing, but lucky for you everything seems to be in good working condition.” When he finished talking red lights started flashing in front of us. “Spoke too soon.” He told us that our crew began working on the problem right away, and a few minutes later he said, “Lucky for you, your crew fixed the
