Introduction Post: Welcome to Mission to Uranus! A few days from now, we will be leaving on our trusty spaceship, Luce Stellare (“Starlight”), to travel through space. After a long journey, we will finally reach our destination on the innermost moon, Cordelia, a moon no other person has landed on before. We hope to get close-up and study Uranus like no other human being has previously thought possible. We will be breaking many new records, and bringing ground-breaking news straight from the discovery sight to you. We hope to stay in touch, so follow along with us on our journey. TTFNTa ta for now.

**We’re only a few weeks into our mission, and already I’m missing Earth. Okay, so maybe you don’t think it would be so bad to float around, gravity free in a spaceship. But let me tell you, there is a //lot// of black out here. Some of the views are great, though, and as a photographer it allows for some amazing photo opportunities. I’ve been bugging Kayla to get our camera working, and she finally got it hooked up. ** **The Milky Way is so bright. I’ve already taken about five hundred pictures, and Kayla’s not thrilled about all the space I’ve taken up on her memory base, but I keep telling her I have to capture the full experience. After all, no one has ever done what we’re about to attempt. We have to have good records of it! **

I shot this a few weeks ago, so the image is a little fuzzy because the camera was still adjusting to the drastic conditions and temperatures.

Wow, 2 years and 78 days is a lot of time to be out in space. To help cope with the stress involved in this trip, we’ve decided to set aside an hour and ten minutes to simply listen to music. I definitely can’t last one day without music, much less over 2 years. These are some samples of the classical, up-beat, jazz/instrumental music we will be listening to:

I'm //really// getting sick of hearing them!

Our mission is to get up and personal with Cordelia, the inner-most moon. By the time we’re finished with our mission, we hope to know whether or not Cordelia is capable of sustaining life. We will also be charting Cordelia, mapping, and studying its geological aspects and mass. URL swirly galaxy: [] Outerspace3: [] outerspace4: [] ******* outerspace5: [] ****** outerspace7: [] ****
