Ciao, avid blogger readers, we are finally in space!! After years of preparation, Angelica, Andrew, Austin and I have finally reached the wondrous, void of space. Everyone is doing fine although little Andrew is missing his teddy bear dearly. Take off was a life altering experience. When the laser and microwave beams hit the solar sails, the force hurled the ship into space in a matter of a few minutes.I can now officially confirm the name of our ship (NASA sure is paranoid about releasing information these days) is Stella Luna, meaning star moon in Italian. We can also now officially confirm Stella Luna's top speeds: 200,000 mph or 90 KM/s. This is of course and educated guess since Stella Luna's speed is in direct relation ship to the sun. Depending on the angle of the sun in relationship to the solar sails, the speed could be a bit higher or lower than 200,000 mph. On board we have our four crew members; Engineer Austin S., Data Collector Angelica A., Mission outcome director Andrew L. and myself Dr. Julia P. I am in charge of the health and well being of the crew members as well as life support.

P.S. There has been no bickering YET but I assure you there will be. All of us are currently too happy and amazed to fight. On a lighter note the view is absolutely breathtaking!
