Astronauts

I think that astronauts are kick ass people who risk their lives whenever they go on a mission. But at the same time it’s the coolest thing ever, and I hope that one day I will get to go into space. The training to become an astronaut takes about 10-20 years depending on how good you are and its one of the most difficult training on the planet. They train under harsh environments so they will be able to take anything that space throws at them and you better like roller coasters because you get that feeling the whole time if you’re an astronaut. Out of 10s of thousands of men and women that try out, only a 100 are chosen to become astronauts. You need to be extremely smart and be very fit, it’s extremely hard.When you’re in space it is an imaginable and sensational experience. If you’re in the vastness of space you float there and are able to do whatever you want and if you’re on a smaller planet you can jump 20 feet easily depending on which planet you are. When astronauts are in space, they actually experience the roller coaster feeling a 100% of the time, even if they're in the shuttle, because in the vastness of space you are actually always falling at enormous speeds, so you always have that feeling but after a while they get used to it and forget about it. But whatever the challenges may be I hope to one day go into space and be able to float around and see earth as a whole.
