Flight and Flying 2- Tuesday

[solo_sword]

Today the Danger Shop looked like a lot of metal and catwalks, and there was a giant rocket ship ahead of them. Wonder what this class is about.

"Where I come from, space travel is a normal thing," Jaina said. "You can hop between planets pretty easily, we have hyperspace, you don't feel the effects of these things in the ships. Here on Earth, that's not the case. It's still fairly new here, and trips into space can still be events, and you very much feel what's happening. Today you're going to get to suit up like astronauts if you want, and get the simulated experience of going into space on a rocket ship. I do have to warn that it can be intense, so if you don't want to deal with it or you have medical conditions, it's okay to sit this one out and you can watch everyone else on this monitor over here. So those of you who are going, let's get ready."

Like you're on a ride you did not think would be this bad.

Suit up

[solo_sword]

Or don't! But if you want to you can put on flight suits minus the astronaut helmets.

Re: Suit up

[drumsticksandd20s]

Like Steph was going to pass up a chance to look like an astronaut, and take a bunch of selfies to send back to Haven Springs? Ethan was going to absolutely flip when he saw those pictures.

Re: Suit up

[stykera]

Stark was going to try and stuff himself into one of these odd looking suits.

"It's very bulky." And not very easy to move in.

Re: Suit up

[grenadesandohana]

McGarrett was absolutely putting this on. He was restraining himself from doing a "one small step for man" recreation, really.

Re: Suit up

[sith_happened]

Anakin shot a look at Jaina and snickered. "No."

Re: Suit up

[solo_sword]

"But imagine the holos I could show your great-grandchildren on their birthday."

They had two pilots as parents, Dax and Daniel would not care.

Re: Suit up

[sith_happened]

Anakin laughed harder. "Still no."

Re: Suit up

[unusual_sith]

Lana was definitely curious, so she'd suit up. This seemed a very clunky way to travel, though.

Re: Suit up

[atreideslioness]

"These are exceedingly primitive," Ghanima said, almost astonished. "...is this really what they use?"

Fly in a rocket ship!

[solo_sword]

There are plenty of seats for everybody, and even if you push a button it's not going to do anything. There are a lot of buttons.

You're definitely going to be feeling all the physics happening.

Re: Fly in a rocket ship!

[drumsticksandd20s]

No way was Steph missing this. Just... no way.

Even if she came really close to throwing up at one point, she didn't regret a single occasionally terrifying second.

Re: Fly in a rocket ship!

[stykera]

Stark had learned not to touch buttons he wasn't supposed to be touching. The hard way. Stark was not pressing any buttons.

He was, however, muttering to himself that it was no wonder they never left the planet if it felt like this every time.

Re: Fly in a rocket ship!

[unusual_sith]

Lana heard that muttering, and muttered back. "I heartily agree."

UGH.

Re: Fly in a rocket ship!

[notagoose]

Goose had no problems with this at all and was getting quite eagerly into the experience.

Watch

[solo_sword]

If you don't want to do it, there's a monitor where you can see inside the shuttle and hang out with Jaina.

Talk to Jaina

[solo_sword]

Who's really looking forward to getting home for her kids' birthday.

OOC

[solo_sword]

Know that when I went on Spaceship Earth at Disney we went on the hard one and mocked everyone going on the easy one, and then I got off the ride and yelled "FUCK NO."

Re: OOC

[stykera]

I come back to this hours later and go "was this inspired by-...yep."

Re: OOC

[solo_sword]

That ride can go fuck itself, Mandy.

Re: OOC

[stykera]

But you rode it with me and that makes it awesome!
(Someday we're going on Rise of the Resistance together. SOMEDAY)

Re: OOC

[unusual_sith]

...wait, there's a hard and an easy one? Is that a new thing?

Re: OOC

[solo_sword]

I've only ever done it once (AND NEVER AGAIN) so I don't know if it's new, but there's an orange mission and a green one. I think the orange mission to Mars is the hard one?

Re: OOC

[what_the_shock]

Isn't Spaceship Earth the big golf-ball one that's more teaching thing than thrill ride? Or am I getting ride names confused?

Re: OOC

[solo_sword]

MISSION SPACE. Forgive me, my brain is literally scrambled.

Re: OOC

[what_the_shock]

Oo! Okay, I don't think I've done that one. Now I'm scared. LOL
