the space preps

Only two hours and then I'll be off, I'll be in space to repair the Hubble Space telescope and that would take atleast two horrible but beautiful months. I am taking two friends with me and they are called clever Sarah and weird Michael. I was going to bring my cat Smokey but after all the tests it turned out he was to stupid and he woudn't cope with the whaitlesness. I just have to go through one test and that is looking agian at all the peases, I have to repair one of them, the secondary mirror that was out of focus so all the photos looked weird. We also have to repair a part it's solar panels because it got hit by a passing meteorite.

Now it's only one hour until blast off. I did all the lasts tests and now I only have to get my space suit on it's really hard though.It has loads of layers. the first layer TMG cover its made from ortho fabric,the sencoud layer the TMG insulation layer that is made from aluminized mylar, than the third layer is called the the LCVG water transport tubing and as you can read it transports water all over the space suit, than last but not least layer is called the LCVG liner layer and thats made of tricot. It has lots of layers that means that it is also extremely heavy and tight.

I'm now having a tour around the space ship it's verry big, when I went out again it looked like the space ship was snarling at me as if it was going to play a nasty trick on us when we up in sace.
