I'd like to see terra... from space

Hello everyone

I originally set out to write about the event that had the most profound effect on my way of being, and I have had one in my life, but as I was writing here I remembered that last November I had the good fortune to sit next to the first and only Romanian cosmonaut to ever fly in space.

Since I have brought up the event with the most profound effect on me, I don't want to skip it and I will write a few lines about what it is all about.

The end of 2011 hit me with the hardest news, the loss of my mother, after a period of suffering due to a terrible disease my mother lost the battle with life, this has had a life-changing effect, even today I am no longer the person I was before my mother died and I do not think I will ever change, the feelings that I am trying to me can be known to those who have gone through this, on this subject I stop at this point because it is a very sensitive one.

Let's switch to space tourist mode.

I can say that since I was a child I was looking at the sky and I always wondered what is beyond the clouds, can I step on the clouds, I made many movies in my head, that beyond the clouds there is another world that looks at us just like we do and many other childish things.

Even if I wanted to know what's beyond the clouds, the only way was to fly in an airplane, but wait, I was afraid of airplanes, my first airplane flight was only in 2020, then I managed to overcome my fear of airplanes and then came the answer to the question, what's beyond the clouds, I had to wait 36 years to find out the answer.

And yes, from my first flight above the clouds, I was already curious what happens after that flawless blue sky ends.

I would like to see terra from space, it would be a great achievement for me, but it is not possible in my case because a ticket for this experience involves huge costs (I have to work seven lifetimes to raise the money for the ticket, hehe).

But until I get into space as a tourist, I'll settle for the special meeting I had (I think you get this chance once in a lifetime) in Timisoara last November.

Dumitru Prunariu, is the first and only Romanian who has ever flown in outer space, doing this in 1981 in the mission that was called Soiuz40, I studied a lot about the experience of Romanian cosmonaut, that fascinated me very much, Dumitru Prunariu today aged 73 years is a man who amazed me by his simplicity.

Why shouldn't I go into space as a tourist?

I thought to see what could be the reasons for not going into space, apart from the high cost of this experience, there would be only one reason and that is my health, which would not allow me to have this experience.

From what I've seen on TV it seems that the waiting list to buy space tourist tickets is very long (this really surprised me), but apart from the fact that tourists have to pass many medical tests to ensure their safety during the few minutes they will be in space, eh look I wouldn't pass these tests so space travel remains a nice dream.

My dears if you have read this far it means that you have reached the end of today's post, and thank you for that, and stay tuned if you want to participate in this weekend-engagement you can do it here.

P.S. The attached picture you have just seen are taken by me with my mobile phone(Samsung Galaxy S21), and the text is also designed by me.

Yours @triplug😉
