Though her family struggled financially, Noor pursued training and eventually received admission to NASA. After months of flight simulations and equipment testing, Noor achieved her goal of becoming an astronaut and traveling to space. While in space, Noor marveled at the beauty of the universe but also noted the physical challenges astronauts face with weakened bones and muscles in the low-gravity environment.

    At age 16, Noor recently passed out from grade 10.

    she had no aim in life because as we all know we are


    living in a male dominating society until she attends the ceremony which is organised by the school. Peggy
    Whiston gave a speech and motivate those students who had no aim in the life. She asked the students does
    anyone know what astronomy? And then Shazia said the study of everything in the universe beyond earth-
    atmosphere.
    Peggy said if you go to country far from city sight you can see about 3000 stars, if your eyes were bigger, you
    could see more many stars. Peggy A. Whitson (Ph.D.) flew on Expedition 50/51 and participated in four
    spacewalks, bringing her career total to ten. With a total of 665 days in space, Whitson holds the U.S. record,
    placing eighth on the all-time space endurance list.
    Noor started to getting inspire from Peggy and was confused about her career. She went back home and
    discuss with her parents about the Astronomy. As they were living in the middle-class society they cant afford
    the dreams of their children’s. But Noor wanted to do something for herself and for her family as well.
    One day she decided to leave the house when she got admission in technical field to start training to achieve
    the gaol. And she also started to do a part-time job she struggled a lot and she also faced a lot of difficulties
    but she didn’t step back. She then applied for American Visa to get admission in NASA. After few months she
    got her visa letter and she flew to America.
    She participate in flight simulations, test and evaluate new equipment to prepare herself for new missions to
    the Moon. It took a couple of months for her to be ready to go to Space. When finally, she become able to go
    to space she then realize that she should meet her parents so she booked her ticket and went home in her
    Astronaut uniform, when her parents saw her in uniform they start crying and hugged her. The very next day
    she left for America to start her journey to space.
    While traveling o space she experienced It’s a beautiful night, the stars are out, the moon is shinning bright. It’s
    so clear out I can see the big dipper. I can see the big star in the north as I gaze deeper into the Heavens. I
    can clearly see the many different sized stars. I can see the many far and distant planets.
    I soon find myself on my way; I am on my way into a short journey into space. As I pass through the cosmos, I
    can see many different sized comets. I see the many different colors of light. Lights that shine throughout this
    enormous universe.
    As I pass by Saturn, I marvel at its many colourful rings that surround its beauty. I can almost feel the heat
    from the Sun as I pass by. Our universe, what a beautiful sight to behold.
    As I travel on my journey into space, I begin to wonder if I am the only living creature out here. Could there be
    some other being out here asking them self the same question as I am? I wonder, I really wonder.
    Noor said in space, astronauts float. They do not use their legs much. Their lower backs begin to lose strength.
    Their leg muscles do too. The bones begin to get weak and thin. This is very bad for astronauts' bodies.
    An Astronaut's Work 05.27.04 Space Shuttle and International Space Station (ISS) astronauts perform many
    tasks as they orbit the Earth. The Space Shuttle is a versatile vehicle that provides facilities to perform science
    experiments, release and capture huge satellites and even assemble the ISS.
