Space, it's a place just right outside of our home planet. In fact, our planet is in space, floating around orbiting the blistering, hot Sun. Space is infinitely vast in size. There's no end to this place, there's no sign of where it began. The deeper one travels into it, the more one gets to notice how beautiful these celestial beings are. The farther we travel, it becomes clearer that our home is just a tiny pixel compared to what's outside. Farther and farther we go...things don't seem to be right now. The common laws we learned are broken.
Ah, what is this now? Space has deceived us with those looks. It's not all about a peaceful region, with an infinite amount of stars. No, space itself is changing constanly in a violent manner. Those planets and stars up there weren't produced with such ease.
Space, it's majestic colors may deceive us. Behind those colors are the dark shadows, murking the painful reality of space. We as humans have experienced the painful reality of space. Various accounts have clearly shown that when one desires to pursue a goal to space, the obstacles are greater than on homeland. One of the greatest goals was to land on The Moon. Mission accomplished guys but the cost of lives that were loss just to get there is irreplaceble.
As I read in my book Apollo 13 by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger, it became mindblowning to me that just a simple mistake would jack up everything. In the first chapters I got to read how the first Apollo mission was a diaster claiming 3 astronauts. "'Fire in the spacecraft!' It was Roger Chaffee, the rookie, calling out" (Lovell, Kluger 16). A simple miscalculation, no matter how tiny killed those 3 astronauts. Those men were brave, putting their lives at stake to make it possible to land the first people on the moon. Few pages later the next group of men were ready to be launched into Earth's orbit. Man, imagine being in their shoes, having that fear that they too might become burned.

Well Houston, mission accomplished. The first successful man flight around Earth and back to land. Space is Perilous. The challenges to get to it are lethal, but that won't stop us from wanting to explore it ;)
Reflection: As a reader I've come to better focus on what I read. Before I use to just read wherever but what has been effective was to me was me trying to get rid of all my distractions. Another point where I as a reader saw personal improvement was that I didn't set aside my reading, I kept focusing on my book until I hide the next tab.
