Project Moon
My heart was racing at a million per second. I could feel it in my neck and my throat and my chest. I felt like I could not breathe, and I was sweating profusely. I thought I was about to have a heart attack because the pain on my chest was so intense. Real fear was running through my veins and it made me more anxious by the minute. “What am I doing here?”, I asked myself as I tried to throw up in a paper bag they gave me, similar to the ones you find in the back pocket of the seat in front of you on a plane. I have been on a plane many times, and while I experience similar symptoms when flying, nothing could have prepared me for the panic attack I experienced when I stepped into the Merlot 2021, the rocket ship that would take 60 people, including me, in a one-way trip to the moon.
