SPACE SHUTTLE SIMULATOR AND IT DID
EVERY THIS THE SPACE SUTTLE DID. FIRST
WE DID A PRE LAUNCH BRIEFING BEFORE
WE WENT INTO THE ACTUAL “SPACE
SHUTTLE”. THEN SOMEONE CAME UP ON A
SCREEN AND WAS TELING U WHAT TO DO.
SO WE STRAPED IN AND THEN THE
EXPERIENCE BEGAN. IT WENT FORM
HORIZONTAL TO VERTICAL. IT WAS
AWESOME. IT SHOOK AND RATTLED AND
THE GUY ON THE SCREEN SAID THAT
SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND WE MIGHT
FAIL OUR MISSION BUT HE FIXED IT. SO WE
WENT INTO “SPACE” AND WE COMPLETED
OUR MISSION AND MADE IT SAFELY BACK
DOWN TO EARTH. SO THAT WAS THE BEST
THING EVER TO HAPPEN TO KENNEDY
SPACE CENTER. I HOPE WE GO AGAIN
