A guy asked “Are you sure you really want to do this?” He continued talking and said our shuttle is positioned straight up so we should adjust into that position also. The simulator started moving so we sat at a 90 degree angle like our rocket. He then explained that with six seconds remaining our main engines would ignite, starting from ten the countdown “Ten.. nine.. eight.. seven.. six..” The engine started and we shook like a washing machine, it kept us hitting our heads on the back…

hypoxia and altitude sickness. 1 Further advancements were made in rocketry.
