My Unforgettable Journey: Young Astronaut Training Camp 2026
5A Chiu Shing Hei Alvin
Participating in the Young Astronaut Training Camp 2026 was an unforgettable experience for me. I felt truly honored to be selected as one of the 30 Hong Kong student delegates for this 9-day journey. During the trip, we visited important aerospace facilities in Beijing, Xi'an, and the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
Throughout the camp, I gained valuable knowledge about space science and technology. The most memorable highlight was meeting national astronauts face-to-face. Listening to their personal stories helped me understand how much hard work and dedication are required to achieve great goals. We also tried basic astronaut training simulations and built model rockets, which was both exciting and educational.
This journey not only broadened my horizons but also taught me important life lessons. I realized that space exploration relies heavily on teamwork and perseverance. Behind every successful space mission, there are thousands of scientists working hard behind the scenes.
In conclusion, this camp has sparked my passion for science and inspired me to chase my dreams with courage. It taught me that with determination, nothing is impossible. I am deeply thankful to the organizers, teachers, and my campmates for giving me such a wonderful memory!
