My Dream Of Going To Space We've all got that one thing that drives us crazy. I think it's crazy. But I do it anyway. I have this urge to go to the space! I'm serious! I want to go up into space and look down and then come back down. I don't care how much it costs or how cold it is inside the space shuttle or if I can't hear my favorite songs while I'm in there. I just want to experience that thrill of weightlessness. I have always envied owning an Astronaut gloves. You know the one that will keep my hands really warm and help me deal with the cold temperatures once you're in the space shuttle. I’d love to see a closer view of the sun through space. Of course, I’d put in my sunglasses and protection. The sun is out in the outer space, but it's not hot enough to burn you or get you a tan. Actually, I’ve wanted to go to space since I was a little kid. We had a poster of an astronaut in my class when I was little. I fell in love with that poster the very first time I saw it. Whenever I was asked what I want to become when I grow up, I’d say “I want to become an Astronaut”. The grownups would laugh then. Now I know why.  So I guess that’s why I was so interested in the astronaut’s first-hand accounts of what it felt like. The first time an astronaut went into space it wasn’t like anything he had ever experienced. He said it was like being in church just floating around and perfectly still, with stars above you, surrounding you, below you, nowhere else to go. What he didn’t realize at the time is that this is what life is like to most people, except that everybody is floating around and perfectly still and there are no stars. I’ve always loved space and the whole concept of being in something that is so open, infinite and yet confined. The reason I like it so much is that it speaks to us, but we can never really understand what it’s saying because there isn’t an actual language. It takes us to a different level of thinking in a way that we can’t really comprehend. I’ve always thought of space as an unobtainable place that I could never go to and feel like I don’t belong. But recently, I realized that I do indeed belong in space. I just need to make a lot of money before I am 50 years old, so I can afford space travel expenses and all. I have thoughts of retiring in space too. Maybe spend the rest of my life there. Which is why I follow what Space X does keenly.  I'm not sure why, but I've always wanted to be the first person on Jupiter or even just to the Pluto, just somewhere in space. It's kind of ridiculous I know, but it's also something I think about. It's my dream. Life would be so much better if we were in space. No one would have to face the daily stress of this earth, and we could spend our days on adventures and exploration instead of working to live. There would be no war, there would be no poverty and everyone would be happy. Not (add)to mention it would make the world a much smaller place. The internet and our phones would seem archaic because we'd have a much better connection through our minds. I think that people right now believe that we'll never get off this planet and that we're stuck here forever. But I don't believe that at all. I’d love to be in a spaceship, it is a really comfortable place, at least that’s what I think. I feel like floating in space, it is great. It is so peaceful and quiet. I can see galaxy and the stars in the universe. The view from the spaceship is very colorful and beautiful. I hope to travel around the space someday. It is my dream to explore space. I want to go to Mars, I want to go to the ultimate space where there is only love and happiness, I want to look at the stars in the sky at night and explore the universe. I want to travel at the speed of light through the universe and gather all knowledge that is there. I want to see all the worlds in this infinite universe and improve my life. I want to see the oceans of different planets, swim with dolphins on a distant planet, dive into the ocean of Jupiter, listen to its roar. I want to explore space for 100 years and maybe more, never come back to earth again. With my spaceship I would go to another universe and look at ours from out there. From a distance I would watch our planet burn, destroy all life forms on it, fly away forever, never look back again. But what happens when I get lost in space?
