High flyers Many kids dream about being an astronaut and travelling into space. Greg Davis, an astronaut at NASA, talks about his first flight on the space shuttle. I was very excited about my first flight into space. I’d had years of training, but although I was well-prepared, I still felt nervous when I stepped onto the shuttle for the first time. Other astronauts had told me it was an incredible experience, especially lift-off. They were right. When the shuttle takes off, astronauts are always on their backs with their feet up. As the countdown reaches zero, a voice on your radio says ‘Lift-Off!’, and the shuttle starts to move. The speed of the shuttle quickly increases, and the pressure on your chest feels enormous. It’s very difficult to breathe. But just as suddenly, the pressure disappears, and you become weightless. You’re in space! Astronauts don’t have much free time while they are in space. Most of the time they carry out experiments. When they do have a few spare hours, they usually read or listen to music, play games or write e-mails home. But on my first trip, for the first few days, I just looked out of the window and watched Earth – it looks beautiful from space.
