Paler Blue Dot

As Landon finishes his workday, analyzing some data that was collected, he drives back to the Kerbals' apartment.

You could say, they were hooked on the screens. Gene was reading up on the space programs of Earth, Xander was playing KSP with heavy graphics modding and some part mods installing modules to a new space station, Jeb was playing Rocket League Platinum, Wernher was playing My Summer Rocket, and all the leaders of the main Kerbal countries were studying their mirror Earth countries.

Landon: How's it going?

Gene: Hey Landon.

Landon: Are all the snacks there?

Gene: Yes, we're full.

Landon: Have you guys even used the HoloDisplay?

Gene: Nah. We're on the portable displays.

Landon: You found those?

Gene: Yeah. There were barely any for all of us.

Landon: I'll go check out what y'all are doing.

Landon walks around, glancing at Jeb and then going to Wernher.

Landon: Woah, how's that going?

Wernher: My rocket cannot do zee launch. I will fix.

Wernher checked every single pump in his K2 replica, and then saw a small hole in the fuel pump.

Wernher: Let me fix. *whir whir* Done with zee fix. Now to launch.

Landon: Hold on, I'll be going home, setting stuff up.

Wernher: Will you watch zee launch?

Landon: Of course.

As Landon was going to the parking garage, he watched the launch, and sent a message to Wernher congratulating him. Soon, he drove to his comfy home in the suburbs of Cape City, Florida, and started setting up something special.
