Junior Astronauts' Epic Battle
It was the year 2021, and on a warm July 26th afternoon, my best friend Noah and I found ourselves sitting in our favorite spot, the playhouse. Suddenly, Noah exclaimed, "OH MY GOSH! LOOK AT THIS!" He beckoned me over, and I hurriedly joined him, curious about his excitement. He showed me a captivating notice displayed on his tablet screen.

We diligently filled out the application, spending the entire evening ensuring it was done correctly.

I pondered the situation, realizing I couldn't go alone, so I asked my dad to drive me. Upon reaching Noah's house, he whisked me away to his room, where he proudly displayed another notice on his tablet screen. It revealed that we had been selected for the Junior Astronaut Program, set to commence in January 2022 at the USA Space Department. We were taken aback, considering the distance between Sri Lanka and the United States, but our families, recognizing the educational and thrilling aspects, supported our decision.
Time flew by, and soon it was January 2022. As we arrived at the USA Space Department, we were greeted with a sight that resembled an entirely different world. Unlike everyday life where humans toiled in...
