    CHAPTER ONE

    BLASTING INTO SPACE

    Imagine you could buy a ticket, hop on a spaceship, and blast off into space. For years, authors and movie-makers have imagined a future where space travel is fast, fun, and fabulous. So far, though, only professionally trained astronauts or incredibly wealthy travelers have been able to travel into space. A few have even visited the International Space Station (ISS).
