The Rocket-ship

Write about a rocket-ship on it’s way to the moon or a distant galaxy far, far, away.

I have never seen anything like this. The size is massive, like a cruise ship that flies. Aside from the take-off and landings we get free reign of the ship unless there is turbulence. That's only happened once since we left earth. It's been six months. We are expected to travel another six before we reach our destination. They created an artificial gravity that works as long as we are flying smoothly. 

Let me give you a tour of the ship. It's quite brilliant! You walk into the ship, and into a hallway. To your right is the cockpit. The two pilots who fly the ship are up there. On the left is the seating area. It's big enough for the entire crew and us passengers. All the seats are equipped with a five point harness to keep us safe. For airplane seats, they are quite comfortable

Our quarters are next. The quarters include a bedroom and bathroom. Each bedroom has a bed and dresser. All the rooms have been prepared for us to lose the gravity though. The drawers lock and the mattresses are strapped down. Also, all the furniture is all bolted to the floor, even the lamps! 

Each quarters has its own bathroom. I don't even want to know how they made the toilets work, I didn't even ask. I just know I can do my business and then it goes away. It is sanitary and can be kept clean easily. The showers (and all the other water, not used for drinking) are on a recycled water system. The water is all pushed through a purifying system and then reused in the ship. 

After the bedrooms is the mess hall. Lots of tables and chairs, also bolted to the floor. The tables are all covered with some kind of magnetic surface. All the dishes and silverware magnetic so if there is a loss of gravity they will all stay on the tables. Genius! 

The kitchen is much of the same. Everything bolted down or attached to a surface. There is no way the kitchen stuff will become dangerous projectiles on this ship. 

At the tail of the ship is the rec area. We have TV's with all kinds of pre-loaded shows and movies for us to watch. There is also music to listen to and we can get streaming news from the satellites so we are in touch with earth. We don't have real books because they are too hard to secure, but we do have e-readers with access to any title in the world. Along with the entertainment, we also have some exercise equipment as well as comfortable places to relax.

This ship was built for us to travel and find a new place to call home. For now, this is our home and I think the designers and builders did a pretty amazing job.
