It is good to be back in real life. If you don’t remember, Akshat, Samik, and I just eliminated Herobrine, and now we are back from our adventure in Minecraft. Akshat is my little brother, and Samik is our best friend, if you don’t remember. We got our own planes from minecraft, but we have no idea where we are. Right now, we are trying to find our way back home. Our maps are working, and so are our planes, but I’m not sure whether we have enough fuel to reach our destination. Let me check. Ok; so I have 6000 lbs of fuel for each engine, Samik has 5000 lbs for each engine, and Akshat has 7000 lbs for each engine. I guess we all can make it, depending on how far it is and how much the planes weigh right now.
Hmmm… Why can’t ATC (Air Traffic Control) communicate with us? This is interesting… Uh… How do I fix this? At least I can talk to Samik and Akshat. Let me ask them. Ok, tuning into 200 Mhz.
“Samik? Akshat? Can you hear me?” *static* “SAMIK! AKSHAT! CAN YOU HEAR ME!!!”
“Yeah Anugraha. We can hear you. Well, at least I can hear you. Please just stop screaming in my ears.” replied Akshat.
“Akshat, I can hear him too. I’m not stupid.” complained Samik.
“Ok. At least we can hear each other and our planes are working fine.” I replied.
“Wait. What is that? Is that a… satellite?” I asked in astonishment. What is a satellite doing all the way down here? Wait, but if the satellite is in the the Earth’s atmosphere, it would be moving at an incredibly fast speed towards the ground. So does that mean… That we are… In space? That’s it. I’m telling Samik and Akshat.
“SAMIK! AKSHAT! We are IN SPACE!!!” I panicked.
“Anugraha. Stop trying to scare us.” Samik denied on his plane.
I just have no idea how we are breathing, how ...

...l on the beach and relaxing ourselves. I am swimming near the shore, and-woah; a wave, a big wave. Jump! Whoo! I like this so much! Akshat is running around, playing with the sand; and may I add: playing Terraria on his laptop? They both are addicted to that game. I don’t like it when they just play Terraria; they should actually play in the sand. Let me go talk to them.
“Are you seriously playing Terraria? Out of all things we can do right now, you play Terraria? Come on and play in the waves.” I commanded.
“Oh fine, I will play in the waves.” Akshat mumbled. I laughed at his lack of enthusiasm. He kicked me in the shin. I’m still laughing. This is fun. A lot more fun than playing on the laptop. Hopefully we get more memories like this. Samik is also in the waves. Ah, this is perfect. I wonder what that thing in space even was… Whatever it is, it is still out there…
Swigert, and Haise are on Earth communicating with Houston to fix the problem, they are
Some people believe we are not alone in the wide variety of planets, stars, and the solar system next door to us. Believing we aren’t the only ones stuck in space, but having more power than us where they might watch over us. The strong belief created a phenomenon more than the sci-fi culture itself; government cover-ups can’t hide these visitors anymore.
“You 're saying that the weapons we 're depending on may not even fire? And they can 't test them here?” She nodded at my question.
"There is no point in fighting us!" Each one shouted, clearly rehearsing it a few times beforehand. "Your precious Peacekeeper will be dead within minutes! Join us and see what wonders await for you outside of these boarders!"
I nod "And get Tris back. Have your spies told you if she was alive or not?"
“We can't do it! We're going to be in the Hudson!” I radio to air-traffic control and yell to Jeff simultaneously. “Ladies and Gentlemen. Brace for impact!” I say into the microphone to warn the passengers and crew.
I spotted a crack in the door’s glass window. The crack seemed to be suck some of the scarce air from the ship! Rafael and I estimated that this minimized up our allotted time to get back to Earth. If we didn’t make it in time, we would die of suffocation! In five hours, we started to enter Earth’s atmosphere and we started to rapidly gain speed. On April 17th we started to head to the Atlantic Ocean and our ship started to burn up. Through the windows of the ship we could see an endless amount of red and blue flames. The flames slipped through the crack in the window, like an acrobat at the circus. The fire cornered Rafael and I and I knew that I would not see my family again. The flames got to Rafael first and he screamed as he disappeared into the
The smell of the restaurants faded and the new, refreshing aroma of the sea salt in the air took over. The sun’s warmth on my skin and the constant breeze was a familiar feeling that I loved every single time we came to the beach. I remember the first time we came to the beach. I was only nine years old. The white sand amazed me because it looked like a wavy blanket of snow, but was misleading because it was scorching hot. The water shone green like an emerald, it was content. By this I mean that the waves were weak enough to stand through as they rushed over me. There was no sense of fear of being drug out to sea like a shipwrecked sailor. Knowing all this now I knew exactly how to approach the beach. Wear my sandals as long as I could and lay spread out my towel without hesitation. Then I’d jump in the water to coat myself in a moist protective layer before returning to my now slightly less hot towel. In the water it was a completely different world. While trying to avoid the occasional passing jellyfish, it was an experience of
“I missed you a lot! How is the war going? Any news that is from you?” I say in excitement.

Outer space has always intrigued the human mind. Ever since humans inhabited the Earth, they have always looked to the heavens. Ptolemy, who lived over two thousand years ago, dreamed of being with the stars. He said, “I know that I am mortal by nature, and ephemeral; but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies I no longer touch the earth with my feet: I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia” (Tyson). At that time, reaching the “final frontier” was not even remotely possible.
People have been venturing out into the universe for many years now. In addition to satellites, both women and men astronauts have traveled into space to collect data about the universe. The first human being, the first animal, and the first spacecraft in orbit, were all achievements of the Soviet Union.
Space has always been a pivotal and utmost important subject for many years. In the past, scientists have made monumental advances in this field such as sending people into orbit and landing a man on the moon. Of course, this has only barely been explored and we still have a lot more to see of the ever-vast outer space. One of the most significant topics of all of science has only been touched and there’s still more to come.
I awoke, there was a crash on the upper deck. I heard a thunderous crackling from my head above. I ran up the stairs and what I saw devastated me. The small wooden boat was completely coated in billowy flames."Help, help, somebody please!"I slowly moved towards the sound being careful to dodge flames as much as possible.
As I walked down the worn dirt path to the ocean, I was astonished by how many people were lounging by the water.. As I got closer to the water’s edge, I contemplated why more people don 't swim and decide to tan in the sun instead. The feeling of being alone with the ocean and my thoughts played in my mind.
