Reaching The Moon

Actually, a few years ago, I seriously thought about taking a leap into space. The idea of heading out there was tempting, but I ended up backing out. The thought of getting lost in the vast emptiness of the cosmos was just too much. Space was massive, like, ridiculously massive. The idea that I could disappear into that endless void without a trace... yeah, that was a pretty terrifying thought.

Back then, my understanding of space was pretty basic. I knew there were quite a number of planets floating around in this solar system, but the idea of jumping from one to another? That was a whole different story. You need insane precision for that. I mean, just one wrong jump and miss, and you could end up drifting in space forever, completely alone, with nothing but cold, empty space around you. The thought of getting lost out there made it all feel way too high-risk, which is why I hesitated all this time.
