-Chapter 3-
YEEHAW!
February 4th, 1941
"X minus 1 minute."
Verne 2 was to be launched on a experimental liquid-fuel booster
"X minus 30 seconds."
Tegas would start to giggle in excitement
"X minus 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition, and LIFTOFF!"
"YAHOO!" Tegas would yell. "LET'S GO!"
Soon, the rocket was past the speed of sound and higher up than any plane could get.
"YAHOO!" Tegas would yell again.
The booster would burn up the last of its fuel a few minutes later and separate from the capsule
Control would finally say something,"Tegas, are all systems onboard your craft alright?"
"Oh, I'm better than alright!" Tegas would say
"And my altimeter says my altitude is.. 73 kilometers, I'M IN SPACE!"
-6 minutes later-
"Okay, I'm comin' home control." Tegas would say with a bit of disappointment.
(i forgot to take screenshots of the reentry)
-1 minute later-
"Chute's out." Tegas said
-30 seconds later-
"Chute's deployed." Tegas said
-1 minute later-
"Touchdown!" Tegas said
A few minutes later her capsule was picked up by an army truck
