I spent the weekend collecting my thoughts.
I realized I would probably not have a family in the future…
Astronauts are usually too busy to establish a household…
My parents showed little emotion…towards me
I never really considered them my family…
I was hoping to have my own one day...now I probably won’t
I no longer attended school…
I was assigned to the Aeronautical Building(A.N).
I would receive the rest of my education there.
I woke up quite early today…
I was to report to the A.N at precisely 4 AM…
I remember getting there fifteen minutes early…
Upon arriving, everything was a blur...
I did not understand anything...besides my schedule.
The chemistry made no sense, I felt as if the information was being withheld…
For example, we were taught of a force called “Gravity”, but we were never told the science behind it.
I had a small meal in the “Serving Area” of the building.
Afterward, I went home…
I would report back to the building on Wednesday…
So tomorrow is a free day.

I've committed a grave crime...
The science behind "Gravity" sparked my curiosity...
After hours of thinking and pondering, I knew exactly where to go...
The Hall of Records...
Everything about the "Old Planet" was there.
Normal Civilians, such as I, are not allowed in this Hall.
....I took my chances....
During, the staff meeting, the Hall Guards left the Hall vacant and empty.
I couldn't help myself...
I've disobeyed the rules of this society...
But.....
But.....
It felt good.
I got in the hall without a problem...
There was no backup guards, because in this society everyone is brainwashed into not breaking the rules, even if it benefits them greatly.
I am simply a malfunction in this mechanical society...
I figured it out...
We do not know what gravity "is" in any fundamental way
We only know how it behaves.
Gravity is a force of attraction that exists between any two masses...
The gravity on Earth was a lot stronger, thankfully we're not situated in the Moon's surface.
We are within a dome...where gravity stabilization exists.
After learning of this information, I only hope that my disobedience is not discovered...
I must wait now...
The more eager we get for information, the more suspicious this whole operation will get.
I will regain all the knowledge stripped away from the human race.
Once I learn how to operate a space-craft, I will navigate my way back to Earth...
One day I will achieve my goal...of reestablishing society back on the "Old Planet".
Why does this day seem so far?
