Rick’s heart dropped as he heard the gurgling of the rocket engines. He was doomed. As part of a secret mission to be the first people on Mars, sweat cascaded down his body and his hands trembled like jelly. The constants ambient noise in the background made him feel like he was a a dentist appointment. Boy, he wished that he could be down on Earth instead on a rocket going a million kilometres and hour. The smell of machinery and oil was already getting on his nerves. It seemed like he was in a warehouse or factory. Inside the rocket, everything was blinding white and monotone grey. Rick felt like he was going to puke.
“We are now exiting the Earth’s atmosphere.” a mechanical voice said without any expression whatsoever. Now he knew there was no going back. He had to to this, because he didn’t have plenty of sublime options. But things changed when he looked out of the window. He saw the Earth in all its glory as cities started to light up. It was extraordinary and no ordinary man could experience it. The Earth was like a marble so giga that it wouldn’t fit inside your home. Goosebumps prickled at his skin and Rick trembled with anticipation.
A few days later of just waiting around in the rocket lounge area, another voice, this time not a machine said, “We are approaching Mars in a few hours. Make sure to get your equipment out, ready to be the first human population there!
“Maybe being in space isn’t so bad.” Rick said to himself, but another astronaut said, “I know right? I have space in my blood. My grandfather is the famous Neil Armstrong.” The two new friends quickly discovered new things about each other. Time passed like an arrow shot by Apollo himself.
On Mars the team quickly announced to the world that they have arrived and started to scurry around like mice find a whole bag of rice, researching and gathering interesting new information, while others tried to rescue the rover Spirit which was still stuck in the sand trap. The astronauts also set up a magnificent, outstanding shelter by programming the 3D printers to build.
After a few months, the scientists and astronauts, including Rick had to leave Mars because they were running out of supplies. While on the rocket back, Rick’s skin tingled when he thought about seeing the Earth again. He felt a huge sense of accomplishment. But he had learnt a lesson on the trip. What might have seemed scary and nerving, was actually an exciting and sublime adventure, making a lot of friends along the way. he learnt to never judge things by their cover.

Rick’s heart dropped as he heard the gurgling of the rocket engines. He was doomed, there were only 2 ways there would be gurgling. Either, it was about to blow up, or the oxygen in the rocket was leaking out. 2 ways, both certain deaths. He seemed like he wasn’t the only one to hear it. The trepidation was tangible, almost like if he breathed too much, it would choke him. The only thing they could do was hope for the best. There was nothing to do, the launching period had started, and they were doomed.
His hands flew across the control board, and as he stared at the screen, he noticed. 3 minutes, 3 minutes to blow up reputation or a world first. Then, as he thought it couldn’t get any worse, it happened. The countdown of the explosion. Everyone was muttering, a series of Mandarin, English and Russian, exploded in anger as it showed on the big screen. Everyone was furious. Why would people even agree on having NASA, SpaceX, CNSA and Roscosmos group together for being the first to travel to Mars. The nose cone started to heat up, and as the engine sputtered again, someone called out something that was the words of a moron. “Keep it going.”
Protests erupted and a split headache erupted through Rick’s head, as he fainted. He woke up with a mere 3 seconds left of blast off. 2 buttons instantly went to his mind. Red and Blue. The matrix. Red to terminate and waste 6 years of work. Blue to continue, and possibly kill everyone in the building. 2… He had to think fast as he stored the button he was going to press. 1.. He pushed his hand straight to the Blue button. He just stared at the sight of the blastoff. Was it going to explode? Was it going to survive? He counted in his head. 1…2…3….4…5…, nothing happened and as they all held their breath, the sky erupted with fireworks.
It had exploded, debris fell onto the surface, and as the smoke cleared, the space ship was still there, but missing a nose cone. It was going to go to Mars, and everyone cheered, but the truth settled quickly, they wouldn’t make it back, unless they sent another one to catch them. They didn’t have time. Then he was thinking, if only, if only, if only.
The next day, they got the message of coming back. They didn’t know how, so they did a freefall. As long as they were in the right direction, they would eventually make it. They came back down at a deathly pace, staight towards the pacific. It was scary, a freefall was when they used the last of the energy to blast them towards Earth, and without steering. Their cameras viewed everything. 120 million degrees celsius on the outside. it landed on Earth with a majestic Splash. Boats instantly went to retrieve the Atronauts.They were alive. They’d done it. Cheering exploded in the control centre, and all Rick did was smile.
