Sometimes space seems like the most dangerous place ever. Well it is. But it's also the most beautiful place ever. It may look like complete void, actually that is what it looks like but the fact that you could drift through space forever discovering beautiful things is what makes space even more beautiful. But when you're in a tricky situation, you don't notice the beautiful things around you. You just need to relax. And relax is what I did. Even though you may say it's a waste of precious life support, you need to relax or you'll be too stressed to live.

I didn't know if I was going to get back to Equestria alive, yet if I was going to make it out of this asteroid. But it doesn't matter if you don't, as long as you try. But you can't try if you're scared. If you're scared you can't do anything. So don't be scared. Be brave.

I was already a good space engineer at the time so I could build the necessity's to survive in space. But when you have to scavenge supplies, it's harder to do stuff. You don't always have everything you need and it may be hard. And that's what I had to do, scavenge. Scavenge, scavenge, scavenge.   You don't think I could've been at the space station, perfectly safe, building cool stuff instead of sitting there, slowly dying and building boring stuff where you may not even have the materials for?

Nevertheless, you're stranded in space, you've got to accept that, but how you suck it up and scavenge? That's what I DIDN'T do. I didn't scavenge. I thought I had all the supplies I needed. I focused so much on fixing the ship I didn't realise that I didn't have enough materials in the first place and I was pretty much low on energy and all my uranium was used up. So I was going to die. I wouldn't have enough power to drill some uranium and make it back alive. I was stupid. But if you make a stupid mistake you don't give up. You get out there, and you fix that mistake. You go outside. Shout to the nearest star "I NEED SOME SOLAR POWER OVER HERE." and you get that power. You don't hold back on yourself, you don't give up and you don't die. You made one mistake and you fix it. You learn from that mistake.
