my head as I go weightless. This countdown as I already mentioned fascinates me with how it
ends, the flare, speed, thrill and imaginative power of a human to conquer beyond the limits of
his world is a sight worth seeing. During my visit to NASA space camp, I realized a lot of things;
the zero-gravity training aimed at teaching the concept of how to handle you, in a completely
different environment. This activity took me back in time when I was neither happy nor
