Things that touch the Moon Cory Francis

Every day I dreamt of this moment! Every day I worked hard to get here. I just wished my father could've been alive to watch this moment. He would take me out of the house every night to see the Moon. He would say look Madyson there is our Moon. Oh, how those days have since past and I am about to set foot onto the Moon. I climbed down the Orbiter's detractable staircase to become the first woman to step onto the Moon. The whole world was watching me as I transcended down the staircase. My heart began to race faster and faster as every step I took down to the Moon's dusty pale surface. This was it one last step and I make history. I had made sure my microphone in my spacesuit was on high for it to catch the phrase that would be echoed for eternity. "This is for my Dad, Things that touch the Moon!"
