Well, Its just about time for take off. I believe I'm ready to go. Surprisingly I'm more nervous than i expected. Funny isn't it? I used to look forward to launch days with my parents, going with them on their crazy trips. Then again, for me, launch day was pretty much the only exciting day of the trip for me because there was so much going on with ship preparations and what not.
Well, I've got my ship ready. Its a modified version of the Starcraft 5. You know the Starcraft series, right? Just your typical single man cruiser designed for journeys beyond the galaxy. Grateful to gotten such a deal on it as well. It only set me back $500 and 20 draken. Quite a steal if you ask me. I've taken the liberty of modifying it slightly though. I've enlarged the hull to make to account for the extra supplies and what not, as well as an extended living quarters. As much as i expect to be travelling, I would like to manage some comfort.
I also modified the engine slightly. Instead of the standard turbo, I've replaced it with a special carbon alloy hyper servo, which should boost the ship to .3 past lightspeed. I know its not a big jump in power, but it will decrease travel time without really affecting fuel efficiency.
Well everything is packed, preflight checks are complete, and its about time to lift off. Farewell my fellow humans of earth, I shall return successful or shall not return at all. I'm sure if mom and dad were still alive they'd be quite proud of me following in their footsteps. Regardless, the journey begins now. I will check in soon.
Sir Baxter
