The launch was moved to today.
t- 10 minutes to launch
What if we fail. If the chunk of star that is broken off is to big the planet will implode. I can't stop thinking of the things that can go wrong.
Then I woke up. t-1 minute to launch
"John! JOHN!"said Arnold
"John you have to start the fuel pumps NOW!"
"oh OK" I replied
I switched a few levers and turned on the lights. This was it I was about to launch.

Liftoff
My internal organs are being pressed against the inside of my back. I can't feel my limbs. I realize now that i'm not in a toy being pushed up by air. I am riding on the top of a controlled explosion. The stage separation startles me.
"Whoa, john, are you OK?"said Jerry
