Dear Diary, 

30 May 2020 – Night  – Sleep is for the weak. Today is the day when Space X launches two NASA astronauts into orbit on the Endeavour spacecraft. It’s been years in the making and a dream come true. I have put my blood, sweat and tears into this project and not to mention an investment of nearly one hundred million dollars. No time to waste, no time for breakfast but time for a shower. Shower time is truly a magical experience. To me it is the most important part of the day. It puts me in the right headspace, and it is a critical part to waking up and preparing me for the challenges for today. What a day I have ahead of me, I need to be on my “A” game, particularly today.   

31 May 2020 –Lunch – Food is for the weak! No time to eat. I was on my toes all morning. With 10 minutes to go before launch I was manic. Speaking to NASA to ensure the International Space Station is ready to receive our rocket, speaking to our crew, to my staff. I was on an adrenaline high, feeling anxious, nervous but excited and quietly confident.  

31 May 2020 -Noon- What a feeling it was to see the rocket launch successful after countdown. I watched it rocket into the sky. I felt elated, as the world is my oyster, and nothing is impossible. I let out a annoying sigh, knowing that I would have to make another rocket. My parents would have been proud of me today and the haters would have to eat their words. This was the first ever crew orbital spaceflight launched from the US since 2011 and first operated by a commercial operator. I love making history. I caught a glimpse of many people looking at my amazing machine fly into space, I felt high of myself, I felt that I could show the world who I was and who I’m shaping to be.

2 May 2020- Breakfast- After making a rocket for the past 1 year, I realized making rockets was my hobby. I wanted to be the top of the world for making rockets. After gulping my breakfast, I went back to my office and started planning and designing my new rocket, that will soon be in space exploring what's up there. 

32 May 2020 –Dinner- After spending the past 7 hours in my office I decided that it was time, it was time for me to show the world who was the real boss in making these machines. I called all my colleagues, and told them to start making a rocket by tomorrow. I went to finish up my dinner and watched many documentaries on how to make some sustainable rockets. I finalized my draft and it was ready for.

33 May 2020 – Breakfast-  I woke up today very energetic, knowing it was the day that my new rocket would be ready for launch. I got out of bed and hastily put on my clothes, I went to get my phone but surprisingly I missed 4 calls. I instantly call him back and he picked up. My face went from happy to somber, after I heard that they were missing pieces for the rocket. I felt like just giving up, this would be delayed by 2 weeks or something, I was simply screwed.   production!
