"T-minus ten seconds until today's historic launch! The whole world gathers around to watch astronauts Ledahn, Pauaul, and Mickey venture into the cosmos in attempt to meet an alien civilization!" The TV blared as Nick lay on his tummy watching the broadcast. "Someday I'm going to be just like astronaut Pauaul!" he told his parents. They too were watching intently.
When the countdown reached zero, the rocket launched off the pad, and applause roared through the speakers, and the streets outside. Nick's dad surprised him and picked him up, swooping him through the air. Nick laughed and said "Yeah, like that! That's what I want to do when I grow up!"
"Go for it, bud, they'll need more astronauts, and good ones too!" Nick's Mom replied.
