Rocket ride

Rocket ride

[b]T-Minus 10 seconds [/b]

The feeling of your pulse as your heart races

[b]T - Minus 9 seconds[/b]

Your lips dry and no matter how much you lick at them they remain that way

[b]T- Minus 8 seconds[/b]

A trickle of sweat forms on your brow and drips down your face

[b]T - Minus 7 seconds[/b]

A tightness in your muscles as you try to stretch out your legs

[b]T - Minus 6 seconds[/b]

The panels of lights and switches above your head draw your attention for a moment

[b]T - Minus 5 seconds[/b]

The coloured buttons serve so many functions, functions you struggle to recall

[b]T - Minus 4 seconds[/b]

The words of the launch controller continue to count you down

[b]T - Minus 3 seconds[/b]

A sudden shudder passes through your body as you blink several times

[b]T - Minus 2 seconds[/b]

This is it, all the training, all the effort and all your life for this moment

[b]T - Minus 1 second[/b]

The roar of the engines fills your ears and know the feeling that is coming

[b]We have ignition[/b]

The roar of the engines powering to life and the shaking of the shuttles shell follows

Time for a rocket ride
