Chapter 17

I tell Ash to make a practical design that could actually work and surprisingly within 2 hours she hands me a file, which is all about rockets and a very big piece of paper, not just any paper, our very own sustainably sourced one. I could tell the difference just by the thickness.

"Hey, it's ready" she comes in with the file in her hand.
"Really?! Is it done already?" I ask.
"Yeah, was I late?"
I was surprised she thought two hours was late when I was expecting the team to take a day or two.
I shake my head at her disbelievingly. "Not at all" I laugh.
We both look at the design and she explains it to me.

"Would you like to see the prototype we made?" she asks.
She just never fails to shock me...."of course".

I still can't believe they did this all in 2 hours.

We enter the crafting room, specifically designed to give you ideas for making creative things, and there was the prototype. Of course, it was not a real rocket, just a very small, rather tiny version of it, but.... it worked. Well, that's what they said. We still had to go and check it. In less than 19 minutes, they set up the launch pad and the prototype is ready to be launched.

              3...... 2...... 1..... Go! And there it goes... They tell me how it was an actual satellite that could collect data and send it back, it shocks me every time and makes me realize how strong and powerful my team is and how they can do anything they put their mind to.

I congratulate everyone, and ask them if they could make a working, full sized rocket. I am confident they'd finish it soon.

------After 1 and a half week------

"Wake up" Ash shouts as I sleep my way through the night. "It's ready!"

I wake up startled but quickly go to see how well they'd done the project. She makes me close my eyes till we reach the place where the launch pad has been set up.

  As soon as we reach, I take off my blindfold, and there it was, a gigantic piece of metal we were taking to the nearest planet Onocentaur. Everything was ready. But this time it was for real.

The countdown starts from 100 and goes all the way down to 1 and BOOM! The rocket's suddenly speeding through the atmosphere and after a while enters the orbit. Ash is busy with her computer, operating the rocket as is everyone. I walk around the operating room, speculating what everyone is doing but then the camera on the rocket catches my eye. There's a fire on the exterior of the rocket, and it blasts.

  Everyone let's out a groan. The defeated expression on their face breaks my heart.
"Cheer up! We have to do better than this" I try to hype them up. "You did try okay? That's what counts"

Some of them smile sadly and they get back to work even though I tell them to take a break. But, it seems like their motivation had not deterred, if not increased.

----------- After a month ------

             After a month of precise designing and hard work, the rocket is ready. We all wait for the launch pad to set up, which is carefully being monitored by Ash. After all the necessary setup, which took 5 hours itself. The countdown begins from 100.

            3..2...1...Go! and again the rocket pierces the clouds and goes straight through the atmosphere. The 2nd moon was just rising so we could clearly see the rocket going straight up. After some time, the rocket was in the orbit and I go to check on the camera attached to the rocket. Everything is going according to plan. The team had already told me it'll take 3 days to get to planet Onocentaur. This time it would definitely work.
I'm sure it will.

------- After 3 days -----

Though one of the operations had gone wrong, we finally land on planet Onocentaur. The plan was executed perfectly. Other planets too shall now be discovered and there's a possibility that planets apart from Nedroj may be able to sustain life.

This shall be our mission. And we will not give up till we achieve it.
A truly sustainable nation.
