To whoever wants to be an astronaut:
I want to tell you about the experience I had when I was one. It started like this:
BEEP! The siren of the 491 capsule just went off. It has detected an asteroid the size of the Taj Mahal coming at 12’ o’clock, which is right infront of our crew of 5. We were travelling at the speed of light whereas the meteor is travelling twice as half. It was only a matter of time before it collides with us and sends us to hell. What could we possibly do?
I was an astronaut in the Ferocious Five. I was the vessel steerer and the others all had certain professions onboard. One of the Ferocious Five was Yeet. He was the unique one because he had three jobs. First, the carpenter. Second was the ‘annoy Jimmy’ one. Third was the’ I cannot take another step or I’ll die’ disease. After the descriptions of him, you would probably think that he should be in the Fiesty Five. Anyway, he was still part of the crew.
3 moons later…
We had already been in the cosmos for 4 days. “OH”. Sweat started dripping of my neck. My spine chilled. I had just remembered something important. Something VERY important. “EMERGENCY MEETING!” I had bawled out. I needed to tell my crew this and find a solution.
“Wanting another bedtime story because tiny weeny can’t sleep,” yawned Yeet. Yeah, you would probably know who Jimmy is now, don’t you. Anyway, we had bigger fish to fry right now. “SO…”
“Why is the meeting at 5. Why couldn’t it be in the morning when we are suppose to meet,” had complained Yeet curtly, interrupting me while I was in a conversation. “It is the morning,” I had replied back in a menacing manner.3 gibberishes later.
Yeet had already made a whole against point for a balanced argument when I have had enough. “An asteroid is coming our direction,” shouted another one of the Five. That’ll explain it. “ WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME BEFORE,” panicked the annoying person.” I was trying to!” Everyone rushed to the control panel. I got into the hotseat and typed in a numerous mass of unfathomable buttons and airlocks. The asteroid was
inside our perceiveation. “DON’T USE YOUR INSTINCTS NOW!” shouted Yeet. I went starboard the second before the asteroid crashed into air. “How did you do that!” cried out Yeet.
“INSTINCT.”This is my experience in the galaxy. I wonder if it will change your mind about becoming an astronaut.
I wish you become a better astronaut than I was [ if you become one].
Regards
Jimmy

Dear readers,
If your dream is to become an astronaut, this is guaranteed to change your mind.
When I was young, I was part of the Ferocious Five, the three greatest astronauts united in a mission to explore the Alpha Quadrant. On the 4th day my fried Jimmy had just saved us all from an asteroid, but accidentally moved us too close to a black hole, or was it? This is my story.
“Um… Why are we leaning to the right?” stammered Jeff, “IT’S A BLACK HOLE!”.
“GET AWAY FROM IT!”, “AAAAAAAAAAA!!!”. Everything went black.
“Hello? Why do I not feel pain?” “Who is it?” “Where am I? Who are you? Do you know?”
“Guys, it wasn’t a black hole.” “Oh phew, that was close.” “No, it’s worse. “ “Great, what is it then?” “Wormhole.” “Whassat?” “ Well, a wormhole is basically a tunnel in space that will suck you in and send you to any place in time and space.” “Where are we now?” “I don’t actually know. “ “Aww man! Now we’re lost!” cried Yeet, “And we don’t even know the time!” “Calm down! It’s OK! Everything’s under control!”shouted Jeff as Yeet continued to run around the room, waving his arms out dangerously, knocking anything ( including people ) out of the way. Jimmy expertly ended the chaos by swiftly tripping him up and sending him fling across the controls but also landing on the emergency booster lever. “Uh oh..” “Yarrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!” “We rocketed through the wilderness of space now at 200x the speed of light. “Someone hit the brakes, NOW!” I yelled, Yeet slipped from the emergency booster and landed on the brakes, we immediately stopped and got flung across the control room and all landed on the control panel. Our ship immediately started doing random things until everyone fell off. When I checked outside the window we were somehow already at the Alpha Quadrant. It was all the great ( unintentional ) teamwork that got us to our destination. We wouldn’t have be there if it wasn’t for the asteroid or Jimmy getting us off course or Yeet going mad or Jimmy tripping Yeet up or Yeet landing on the control panel or me yelling or Yeet sliding or everyone flying across the room. I can assure you that you will not be as lucky as I was so try not to get involved in any mad space mission, ever.Your’s sincerely,
Jeff

Dear readers,
To whoever wants to be an astronaut. Here’s what will happen.
After Jimmy stopped us from running into a black hole, and Yeet hit the brakes, we landed in the Alpha Quadrant. It was a very cool place. But, we need to complete our mission: find signs of life. I take out the life scanner from my back pocket. I can’t believe it’s still there after all the chaos. Jimmy reads the scan. He doesn’t pick up a signal. “Maybe we should get closer.” Jeff suggests. “I’m not going in there, even though it looks cool. After all that has happened, I done for the day, though it’s probably been one hour.” Yeet stays with me on the ship. “Alrighty then. Let’s move it.” Jimmy leads Jeff into the Quadrant. I’m so tired. I could fall asleep right there…
The next thing I know, I’m being yelled at by Yeet. “How could you have fallen asleep? We’re in space!” “Well, I was tired and in case you didn’t know, the human body needs rest every few hours, even in space!” “Get up, you lazy bones. Come with me.” Yeet takes me outside of the ship, and tells me to listen closely. “Am I supposed to hear something, because the only thing I hear is the ship’s “wrrrrr”. Yeet slaps his face. “Anything but that?” “Hmmm. I might hear faint sounds… It sort of sounds like yelling…” I turn around. “Where is Jimmy and Jeff?” “They went to explore the Quadrant.” “That yelling…” Suddenly, we look at each other! “They must be in trouble”, we say in unison. “We have to go save them!” “Well, I don’t know how to drive the ship.” “It doesn’t matter! Let’s go!” I jump in the front seat. Yeet sits beside me. There are so many buttons to press that if you get one wrong, you’re dead! “First, you have to ignite the engine.” Yeet presses a yellow square-like button. The ship starts to life. “Then, you have to charge up.” He presses a green button. “Finally, you pull this lever down to drive.” I pull down the lever. “Now, you should be good to go.” The ship starts to move. “I remember them going that way.” Yeet points to where the galaxies are. Or I should say, were. I steer the ship toward Yeet’s finger. “They’ve been gone for about 8 hours now, so I say we should engage light speed.” He pulls a lever up and the ship starts to shake. “Engaging light speed”, a robotic voice on the control panel says. We speed toward our destination. After a while, we see them. Behind them is a massive planet-like object, about to explode. We quickly pick them off and speed off in the other direction. “What happened?”, I asked Jeff. “No time to explain.” The planet-like object explodes. “Going in maximum power”, the robotic voice says. The debris from the planet surrounds us. “NOOOOOOOOO!” To be continued…
Sincerely,
Johnny
