Alan Stone and his wife Emily Stone both are astronauts and they worked at NASA. They had a son named Jacker Stone. He had no interest in astronomy or space. He wanted to be a singer and loved to party with his friends. His parents did not like his behaviour, though they loved him a lot. They wanted that their son would be an astronaut like them.
One day their office sent them to Mars for research purpose. They were excited and while reaching there they took picture on mars through satellite. People appreciated them after returning to the earth. Their next mission would be in Moon. But this time Emily had no confidence and was scared. Same went with Alan.
"What if we would not be able to fulfil our mission and return to tell the people more about the galaxy?" asked Allan to his wife. "Jacker will do something extraordinary for the people of earth, if we cannot return, he will fulfil our mission."
"I'll miss you," Jacker hugged them and said before departure. They reached at Moon safely. "It looked so beautiful," said Emily. They took picture to show their son. When they were coming back from Moon, an asteroid hit their spaceship and it cracked into several pieces. The spaceship collapsed and they died.
NASA informed Jacker about his parent's death. Jacker was heartbroken and from then his life changed. He started dreaming to be an astronaut, too. He gave full attention to his studies. He bought many books about astronomy, engineering, computer science, biological science, physical science and mathematics. He wanted to be an astronaut like his parents. Like Armstrong, he wanted to return from Moon safely.
Jacker joined NASA. He worked and worked and finally the day came when he would go to Moon. When he went Moon he was amazed by the beauty. It did not seem like how the book and other people described.
It was very cold, damn and isolated. But it was wonderful. He put the flag of America on the moon. Suddenly, he could feel the presence of his parents around him. He confirmed that gravitational field is one sixth of earth (g= 1.6 kg/N). He found Moon has no atmosphere for its low gravity, all the molecules of gases have escaped. So it has no atmosphere. Then the company found no signal of him but after a few minutes they found signal that he landed safely on earth. Jacker became famous.
After returning to the earth, journalists and other people applauded him and asked him millions of questions. He shared with them his thrilling experience. "I wish my parents were alive to see my success. I feel proud to be an astronaut like my parents," said Jacker.
