Gordo the Gorilla had always been fascinated by the stars. Every night, he gazed at the twinkling lights, dreaming of one day reaching them. He didn't just want to swing from tree to tree. He wanted to leap from star to star!

His dream seemed impossible until the day the humans found him. They were scientists with a daring plan. They wanted to send an animal astronaut into space, and Gordo was the perfect candidate.

The scientists, Dr. Armstrong and Dr. Collins, prepared Gordo for his adventure. They taught him how to handle zero gravity and use special tools. Gordo was a quick learner.

Finally, the day of the launch arrived. There was a buzz of excitement in the air. Gordo stepped into the rocket, his heart pounding in his chest.

With a deafening roar, the rocket thrust upward. Gordo clutched the handles tightly as he was propelled into the unknown. The Earth began to shrink until it was just a blue marble in the vastness of space.

Gordo was now alone in his spacecraft, floating in the emptiness of space. The scientists guided him via radio. Despite the solitude, Gordo was excited. His dream was finally becoming a reality.

The first task was to repair a satellite. Gordo skilfully used the tools the scientists had taught him to use. He earned a round of applause from Dr. Armstrong and Dr. Collins.

Countless adventures later, Gordo was ready to return home. He had traveled to uncharted galaxies, made contact with alien life forms, and even discovered new planets. But he missed the Earth.

Guided by Dr. Armstrong and Dr. Collins, Gordo successfully navigated the spacecraft back to Earth. He looked out of the window as the familiar blue planet grew larger and larger.

Once again on solid ground, Gordo felt a rush of joy. He had flown among the stars, but there was no place like home. His journey was over, but his galactic adventures would forever remain in his heart.
