Rocket ride

Rocket ride

T-Minus 10 seconds

The feeling of your pulse as your heart races

T - Minus 9 seconds

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

T- Minus 8 seconds

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

T - Minus 7 seconds

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

T - Minus 6 seconds

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

T - Minus 5 seconds

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

T - Minus 4 seconds

The words of the launch controller continue to count you down

T - Minus 3 seconds

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

T - Minus 2 seconds

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

T - Minus 1 second

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

We have ignition

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

Time for a rocket ride
