I take a deep breath, holding my space suit helmet in my hand. Looking out at the rocket me and the four others will be on. Three out of us five are highly experienced.

I'm one of two not highly experienced. I am, but at the same time I'm not. I shouldn't be going to space right now, that's all I'm saying.

I have all my requirements, but I still should've studied and trained more.

"You okay Bellacana?" A man says slapping my shoulder and I jumped a little. He laughs.

He was a cute Asian boy, his name was Jason Nguyen(Win). He was one of the highly experienced people.

"Yeah, I'm okay." I say and take a deep breath and look up at the sky.

He chuckles and comes up to where I was standing and looks up at the sky too.

"All astronauts are scared for their first flights. Hell, even all of their flights. I know I am. But, I know I'm in great hands. Especially with you." He said and touched my shoulder and I looked at him and he was smiling.

I smiled at him.

"Astronunts, T-minus 20 minutes till launching time. Start heading to the launch pad. I repeat, T-minus 20 minutes to launching time. Start heading to the launching pad." A generated voice said over the speaker in the launching tunnel. I take a deep breath.

"Let's go, we have to start heading to the rocket.." He said and started walking. I heard cheers and looked to see people on the side of a fence. There was a TV showing us closer to them so they knew who was coming..

I seen my sister, her wife and baby Kane. Then I seen my brother and his wife. I also saw my Mom and Dad. Baby Kane was in my sister Leslie's hands, chewing on his teething toy.

The people knew that there was a launch today. But they didn't know that we were going to the Dark side of the moon. When my family finds out, they are gonna be so pissed and scared.

One thought runs through my mind while I cross that tunnel just staring at my sister and family. I will miss most of Kane's life..

I might miss his first everything. Thank God I didnt miss his first steps, that would've killed me. But, I will miss all the others..

I looked at the screen in the tunnel and the screen showed my family and I smiled. I felt the tears filling my eyes. I looked back out of the tunnel and I waved to my family and blew a kiss.

I looked back at the screen. Mom was crying, Dad had tears in his eyes. Same with my brother Anthony. His wife was holding their 8 year old daughter and she was waving frantically.

I waved back. She looked towards the screen and just bawled burying her head in Megan's neck. I felt a tear fall out of my eye.

When I got to the end of the tunnel I looked back towards the crowd. Then I looked up at the camera that was still facing me.

I knew they could hear me. "I will be back soon, my family and friends... I love you to the ends of the universe, around the milky way, around Alpha Centari and back. I will miss you all. Kane, my baby boy. You will always be in my heart and I love you so much. I will see you all soon.." I say tears running out of my eyes and I blew a kiss.

I looked at the screen by the entrance I came out off and I seen Mom in Dads embrace looking at the screen. Leslie was crying too, Anthony had tears running out of his eyes.

I waved one more time and left. I cry.

The door shuts and I looked back at it. This will be my last time on Earth and seeing my family..
