One light year isn't the same as one mile. Our Sun is no match for the other stars that roam in the Universe. Every celestial body up close makes our body in-existent. The farther away we go though, the smaller the bodies become and sooner larger ones begin to emerge. The farther we travel out in space we begin to realize that space has no end. No end and once we're far enough, there's no going back. Out in space, the common physics change drastically.
Space has a name and that name is the Universe. It's vast, deep, and mysterious. We realize that for now, we are the only known living beings out there, for now that is. The Universe is full of surprises and we don't even know it sometimes because we're so memorized by it's looks.
We're tiny, yes that's true. There's much more to the Universe than just pretty twinkling lights. The sparkles are actually giant gases of scorching virulent heat. The Universe is deceiving and perilous. A simple mistake can and will lead you to your death. Something as tiny as a golf ball going at high speeds can kill you just like bullet. Hold up though, space debris goes at a rapid pace that a bullet can't match. Pretty interesting. The perils of space, the dangers that lurk out there that can make our hearts stop. An endless journey that has no end, not enough time within our life time to see it all. Space is magnificently perilous.
That reminds me, I finished reading my book "Apollo13" by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger. That book was pretty intense since it had actual perspective of the Apollo 13 crew and not only that, it also came with a timeline that guided me how the incident occurred. This book is proof that space is perilous and anything can go wrong up there. No one can escape the dangers but that didn't stop NASA from sending another group of astronauts back to the moon. Evidence of that is when the book states, "Eight months after the Apollo 13 crew returned from their goodwill trip, Apollo 14...took off for Fra Mauro" (Lovell & Kluger 352). The journey for the Apollo 13 crew to get back home was treacherous, but the will to get back home got them home. Space is a perilous space and these men experienced it at first hand and it'll live throughout human history, reminding everyone that no escapes the perils of space.
Space is Perilous.
Reflection: Thanks to this project I feel that I've improvement my reading skills. Before I would get off topic and wander off to la la land, but now I pay a lot more attention to what I read. I decided to reread the book too and I finished it in a day! I feel like I truly accomplished something and that feeling is amazing. If I didn't force myself to read, I would have the same, poor reading skills I started out with. I went ahead and got other books on space exploration, I would have never done that before this project.
