Most beautiful, most dangerous
by Zuzana Valkova


Lots of small children want to be an astronaut. But there is only few who really get the chance to fly to the space. It's the biggest adventure of life. To see our Earth form the space and for a few days be weightless. But on the other side it is one of the most dangerous adventures. Space ships are still not as safe as they should be. Constructers are doing their best, but they still have some problems.Astronauts must be very brave and they have to think quickly and clearly. These people are special trained to be able to serve, pilot or command the spacecraft. But last few years, there were lots of people who just paid huge money to get to the space. They were ordinary people, just millionaires who wanted to try it. But still these space tourists must have company of well trainer and prepared people behind them. They are half of the success.Other half is airplane. Or we can call it aircraft or spaceship. There are many names, but they must have something in common. Safety! Every single spacecraft must be in the best condition; everything must be fixed, checked, at least twice. That's why the last flight has delay two months. They want it to be perfect and as safe as it can be.Last disaster of the aircraft was in the year 2003, when during the re-entry the plane exploded and all seven astronauts died. After this tragedy was the program of space shuttle stopped, but now it's again prepared to work perfectly.
