The best and worst destination

Chapter 1

Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. The countdown ended. "BOOMMMMMMM…" the rocket roar over the city of Cape Canaveral, going up to the sky where no one can see, the smoke and fume cover over the atmospheres. And now, I am floating above everyone, I looked down towards my hometown, where I was raised. Today, the day that I never thought about, the day that I will always remember, the day that will become one of the world’s pivotal histories. 16th July 1969. As a son of President John F. Kenned, I tell myself, "I will bring back the aura trophies”. 

  

The red, hot, ferocious tail appears for the second time after orbiting our planet for 2hours and 44mins. The burn lasts for 5mins and 48second moving toward the lunar's orbit. The first color TV transmission was made inside the command module, I tried to smile, although I am feeling weak because I can't really adapt to the atmosphere in the spacecraft yet. After a while, the 3-second burn was made from the Earth's orbit – translunar injection.
