"Ladies and Gentleman, Welcome aboard the Spaceship Adventure. Please make sure your safety straps our secured tightly. In a few moments we will blast off traveling at over 300 miles per hour. You may feel a slight jolt, but in less than 30 mins. we will enter outer space and will begin our tour. OK, now, sit back relax and enjoy our ride into the universe we call the Milky Way. Ready for blast off....5, 4, 3, 2, 1.......BLAST OFF!"
