Dear Diary, 15 December 2015
I can’t believe it ! Tomorrow is the day I go into Space ! I’ve been planning and getting ready for this for so long and it’s finally happening. I am so thrilled and honoured because I will be the first British astronaut to aboard the International Space Station! But although I am delighted I am also concerned about the engine in case it fails on the journey up into space and I die. I really hope nothing bad happens in the six months I am up there…
I am also going to miss my family very much and hope they are all proud of me! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I can’t believe I am only one of a few people to see planet earth from Space and I really eager to see it.
I also had a lovely last night with my family and I am really sad that I am going to miss my boys opening their presents on Christmas Day. I just got a text from my cousin in Shetland saying, ” Good luck and I wish you all the best. I hope you have a wonderful time in Space and I look forward to hearing about your adventure “. I don’t know if I will be able to get to sleep tonight. Tomorrow couldn’t come soon enough!
