Space has been and will always fascinating us. For years we has been wondering what kind of wonderful things can we discovered in the vast darkness yet full of colours in space . And the opportunity to answer the questions come in the form of a United Nation directive, each signing nation state are to donate one percent of their GDP to the UN to create six Starship, to explore the unknown.
Like any 12 years old at the time of announcement, we all desired to become the crew of it. I still remember the time when a former astronauts were invited to our school to give his thoughts on the programs and every single one of the kids raised up their hand and ask " What should we do to become one of the astronaut like you do? " , the answer was simple ," Each day when you wake up, you simply need to become better than you are yesterday. "
And thus the journey begins, at first everyone strive be become better, focusing on class, participating regularly in gym class and all the like of it and slowly getting back to the regular 12 years old except for the few and fast forward 15 years later, I am finally the crew of a starship.
"Congratulations Dr. Gram, you are now officially a crew of Starship Hope, our fourth Starship which will be set to sail in roughly six months.", said by the woman sitting in front of me, " I have read your files and for a young man like you; you really have a great record. For example, you have a PhD in AI development, a certified paramedics and a former military man. " , a jolt of excitement cam be heard in the woman voice.
"I forget to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Isabella Martinez and I am the Head of Medical onboard Starship Hope and will be your direct supervisor. "
"Pleasure knowing you, Dr Martinez. Your work on the development of rapid healing agent is monumental. And I save a lot of life with your healing agent. "
" Well then,enough with the pleasantries, in the next six months you will be trained to use the equipment and familiarize yourself with it which includes your suits." , explained Isabella. "Let me show you to your living quarters for the next six month shall we? "
Artificial island Apollo, my home for the next six month. It was formerly one of the China artificial island the were acquired by the UN in the beginning of the Starship Project and slowly being expanded into a small city housing currently 2000 active personnel. the 10 km2 island house it own launching platform and various Research and Development facilities and in-house training ground for the crew. The creation of this Island is possible with the advancement of technologies brought forth by the project.
Dr.Martinez personally show me toward my room which I would share with three other people. The island living quarters is divided into four main area. The North is reserved toward the Island general workers such as the janitors, kitchen helpers and the others. The South is reserved toward high ranking military officers and VIPs. The East Wing is for the Island profesional workers such as, scientists, engineers, mechanics and the one with similar qualification and finally the West Wing is for the crews of the Starships with similar qualification as the East Wing residents.
Leisure walking from from Dr. Martinez office to the living area took us roughly 15 minutes before we finally arrive at a lobby and meet with an attendant of the wings.
“Good Morning Dr.Martinez..” says the attendant,”How can I help you?”
“Hello Heather, I’m bringing our my new crew today to his room.”
“Hello,my name is Dr. Alex Gram.”
“Pleasure meeting you. Can I have your ID Dr.Gram?”,says Heather.
“Your room will be in 3rd Floor,Room 12 Alpha 4. And Here your ID.”, Heather returned the ID to me and reminded me.” Oh please have your ID with you all the time as it act as both your pass to move around the Island and identification purpose.”
Right after I got my room number, Dr. Martinez excuses herself and I proceed to move toward the elevator.
Room 12 is divided into smaller room from Alpha 1-4 and Bravo 1-4. Alpha 1-4 is the the room for the crew while Bravo 1 and 2 are the bathrooms while 3 is a communication room and 4 is a private pantry for each room.
The room I was assigned to contain a single bed , a study table and a cupboard. Most of it is made from aluminium with chrome finish to simulate the room inside the Starship.
While I was amusing myself with the room, a soft knocking hitting my door.
