Write about a rocket-ship on it’s way to the moon or a distant galaxy far, far, away.
Like a thousand sparklers streaking by in darkness, the stars of this galaxy stood still as the craft flashed passed them. The silence of space is shocking when you move this quickly. The speed of this new ship was unmatched and previously thought to be unattainable. That was until Dr. K. came along and revolutionized space travel with his team.
The ship they created was no longer than a football field in length and slightly taller that a typical commercial jet. The width was what made it unique. It was nearly triangular if you too an aerial view, but it was still clearly more trapezoidal in shape. The front was a little wider that a traditional rocket, but it increase drastically as you progress down it’s sides. Eventually, the width was only a few feet shorter than the length.
The new form of propulsion was the big change that really altered the course of space travel. With the ability to safely and efficiently travel this quickly the galaxy become so much smaller. Now that enough time has passed and there are hundreds of these ships out there exploring new locations, mapping the galaxies and searching for new discoveries has become a primary goal for humanity. That is where we find ourselves today.
Our ship, Deus Callisto-3 or DC-3, is heading a planetary system in the heart of the XT-346.b galaxy. Otherwise known as the “Titan’s Causeway” because of the massive stars, planets, and two large asteroid belts spanning the edges of the galaxy. In particular, we are sent to target the solar system XT-J61R-02 or the “Secundom” solar system. Titled this way because it not only has the same number of planets (similarly distanced as our own) and nearly identically sized and aged star; but it also has a planet there that we believe may be the most similar to our own Earth.
As the DC-3 hurdles toward the prize in sight, you can’t help but admire her beauty. The gunmetal gray exterior illuminated by crystal clear travel beacons and guide lights. The curvature of the fuselage contrasted against the sharp angles of the posterior wing tips. The glimmering solar panels arranged in their aerodynamic patterns. Then, the interior equally impressive. You can truly get lost in the power and the beauty of this feat of modern engineering. I only hope that she can take us all the way to this new home and that way we find there will be worth all our efforts.
