It was 3 in the morning and there were 15 minutes to take off. I adjusted the last part of my suit to make sure everything was in place. I went to the bridge where the rest of the team was waiting for me.

"Are you ready guys?" The captain ask us.

We are a team of four. According to the report they gave me: Robert Thoms will be the captain of the expedition, Marcia Gutiérrez the doctor in charge of our health and mental state, Sarah Briggs the mechanical engineer that will keep everything going while we travel and I Paul Rubio the communications technician who will have the communication between us and the base always working.

"Yes captain" All of us says to him. 

After that we got on the ship and went to our posts. I began to check the state of communication and began to receive audio from them .- "All ready guys? This will be the first time in years that it will land and an incursion will be made for that sector of the moon." Houston tells us.

"We are ready, we have been preparing this mission for more than two years, it is not time to resign." The engineer answers with a smile on her face.

Anything I will be reviewing our signs and if anything happens we will approach the nearest station for attention" the doctor sighs and murmurs "and hopefully have more than just dehydrated food ..."

"Houston when you say, I'll start the engines," the captain says.

"If so, when I say go."

The bonds of the ship were released, we heard her crunch as they moved away from her. The outside lights went out and only the most important lights of the ship were left on. In that we hear the voice of Houston "Ten, nine, ..." we continue to hear him go down with de numbers "three, two, one ... go!".

And the ship departed with immense force towards the stars.
