When I was done packing I followed Dad to one of his private jets. The pilot was already waiting for us. A few hours later we arrived at Cape Canaveral; from there we were taken to the Kennedy Space Center.
ÒWhat are we doing here, Dad?Ó
ÒMy birthday present to you is a trip to space in the company of four prestigious astronauts. I know how much you like astronomy, and I thought this would be the perfect gift.Ó
I was speechless with DadÕs surprise. The two of us were taken to a crash course on what to do and expect inside the space shuttle. The space shuttle was slowly rotating around our beautiful planet when all of a sudden we saw something coming straight at us. ÒWhat is that?Ó Dad and I asked the lady at the same time. She got closer to one of the windows and looked concerned. ÒWell, itÕs too big to be an asteroid. I donÕt know what it is!Ó
