OK, I'll admit that I sometimes struggled to think of how my character would be feeling and what they would be thinking during this section, so it might be a little less flowing than the first 2 chapters. I guess I'll have to take my own ride to a launchpad and sit in a rocket to get an idea of what it feels like :D

I also added a personal real life experience into the story - it's not hard to see which bit I'm talking about! Also, we'll get to the spaceflight soon, I promise XD...
