Quickly I unscrew the escape hatch and jump off toward the nearest tree.

But in that time we have risen another twenty feet. This is one of the stupidest things I have ever done - by a miracle I don't break any bones, but I'm covered in cuts from the branches. Uncle comes down to pick me up - he thinks I'm just being a stupid kid. Maybe he's right. But I'm not the one heading for the moon without any preparation!

Should I grab the controls and try to take us down? Or should I just accept it we are going to the moon - and I'm not ready! Or should I do something else?
