<strong>The</strong> shuttle broke free from the launch pad<br />
like a wild bull breaking out of a rodeo chute.<br />
And Christina was its rider! Every bone in her<br />
body sh-sh-shook and her teeth ch-ch-ch<strong>at</strong>tered.<br />
“HOUSTON NOW CONTROLLING THE<br />
FLIGHT OF SPACE SHUTTLE EXPLORER…”<br />
the voice said. “WE HAVE NEW RESIDENTS<br />
HEADED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE<br />
STATION…”<br />
Christina had always wondered how<br />
astronauts felt when they launched into space<br />
for the first time. Now she knew. It was scary,<br />
but exciting!<br />
She tried to turn her head to see how her<br />
younger brother Grant and her grandparents<br />
Mimi and Papa were handling their own fear and<br />
excitement, but the powerful force of shooting<br />
into space kept her pinned firmly to her se<strong>at</strong>.<br />
Her cheeks felt like pancakes.<br />
Christina had traveled the world with her<br />
brother and grandparents, but she never<br />
dreamed this trip would be so out of this world!<br />
