Episode 618 Spaceship (2)

I was able to hear from Trish about writing a biography.

“While writing the biography, I learned more about Allen Eberhart. “I feel this again, but he is truly an amazing person.”

“Yes.”

He is the CEO of six companies, the most important of which are Thisla and SpaceZ.

These two companies cannot be left out when talking about the future and changes in human civilization.

Thisla opened the era of electric vehicles, and Space Z opened the era of private space development.

A normal person would have found it difficult to do both, but to be able to do both at the same time.

Isn’t there a person like this before or since?

While we were talking, an alarm rang. Trish said after checking his smart phone.

“ah! Everhart just tweeted.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“‘Because we’re going to Mars on a spaceship!’”

“… … .”

It would be really nice if you just didn’t use Twitter.

* * *

After a while, Allen Everhart came to visit us. He welcomed me warmly.

“Thank you for coming.”

“What. “Thank you for having me.”

I introduced the people I came with.

“This is my friend, SW Games CEO Kang Seon-woo.”

Allen was happy and held Sunwoo’s hand.

“oh! SW Games. “I’ve heard a lot about it over the years.”

“I heard a lot about it too.”

“It would be nice if we could play a game together later.”

“As much as you want.”

Allen Everhart is a famous game fan.

It is known that he especially likes strategy fighting games.

It is said that playing games helps develop problem-solving skills, so I hope Korean parents take note of this.

I then introduced Sena’s Friends.

Sena and Sojin have met before, but this is the first time for Jo Yoo-kyung and Park Ye-jin.

“nice to meet you.”

“Heh, hello.”

“Nice Chu Michu.”

Yoo-kyung Jo and Ye-jin Park, who saw Allen Everhart for the first time, were amazed and did not know what to do.

The two held hands and said.

“I feel like I’m dreaming right now.”

“me too.”

You probably never thought you would see a celebrity in person that you only saw on the news.

This is why you need to be good at making friends.

Allen told us.

“Follow me. “I’ll show you around the spaceship.”

We got in the car and headed to the launch site.

As you never know what might happen during a rocket launch, the area around the launch site was empty and empty for several kilometers.

A barbed wire fence was erected around the launch pad to prevent outsiders from entering.

As I passed the inspection and entered, I saw workers coming and going around the huge spaceship.

It was late at night, but thanks to the lights, the surroundings were as bright as day.

The size of the spaceship I saw in person was beyond imagination.

The length of the spaceship combined with the rocket is 122 meters.

This is the height of an average high-rise building.

In order to take off such a huge body, 33 Rex engines are installed underneath. These engines ignite simultaneously and advance into space against gravity.

Allen said proudly.

“how is it? “Isn’t it wonderful?”

I was truly impressed.

“It’s big and beautiful.”

Once again, he looked different.

Allen Eberhart had never built a rocket before, nor had he ever run a related business.

But one day, I suddenly decided that I needed to try the space industry, so I immediately created a company and hired people.

And we literally built a rocket from zero base.

Where on earth did such execution and driving force come from?

A company that had doubts about whether it would be able to properly launch a rocket has suddenly grown into the world’s largest space development company.

SpaceZ currently controls 65 percent of the space launch vehicle market.

In other words, Space Z is launching more than 6 out of 10 rockets alone.

Until then, of course, it was the United States and Russia.

However, a private company that was created only 20 years ago and only 15 years after its first successful launch overtook the governments of each country and became the world’s largest space development company.

Of course, there was NASA’s full support here… … When you look at other companies that received similar support and failed to grow to this level, you can see how amazing SpaceZ has done.

And at the center of it all, there is a person named Allen Eberhart.

If there had been no Allen Eberhart, the space industry would still have been at a standstill.

And currently, they are trying to build a huge rocket with a length of 122 meters and a width of 9 meters and send it into space.

Where on earth does this driving force come from?

Allen introduced one person.

“This is Chad Stone. “I am in charge of this launch.”

“hello.”

He is a man in his late 40s with dark skin.

We exchanged greetings.

He is a member who joined Space Z in the early days.

He is one of the few people who can tolerate Allen Eberhart’s eccentric personality.

In fact, Allen may seem fun, but he is the type of person that would be crazy tiring if you had him as your boss. He is famous for criticizing himself when things don’t go his way.

Chad Stone must have been busy and left immediately after saying hello.

“It is the first time in the world to launch such a large rocket.”

Rockets also have economies of scale.

As hull size and payload increase, cost per weight decreases accordingly.

In addition, like other SpaceZ rockets, launch costs can be greatly reduced by recycling the first stage rocket.

“This rocket can carry 100 people. “If this launch is successful, it will pave the way for sending people to Mars.”

Of course, even if the launch is successful, it does not mean that people can be sent to Mars right away.

First of all, the spaceship’s primary goal is to land on the moon.

We will be able to send people and materials to the moon, build a lunar base, and use that as a base camp to advance to Mars.

It is clear that if successful, it will be a groundbreaking turning point in space development.

Seonwoo shook his head.

“that’s interesting. I’ve only been developing games so far. “I never thought I would come to see the launch of a spaceship.”

“so do i.”

I just went back and invested, but I never thought I would experience something like this.

Sunwoo said as he handed over the smartphone.

“Take a picture of me.”

Then Trish said:

“I’ll take a picture.”

Wouldn’t it be better to leave this to the experts?

Trish also took a photo of Sena and friends with the spaceship in the background.

Sena approached Allen and said.

“Allen! Please Picture Together!”

Allen seemed to understand what I meant, and nodded his head.

“of course.”

Allen took pictures with each of the children.

Before leaving, he spoke confidently.

“Look forward. “Tomorrow will be the best day.”

* * *

6 am.

After waking up from the alarm, Trish and I got in the car and headed to the control room.

I feel like I’m waking up immediately when I’m hit by the cold early morning air.

“It’s finally launched. What do you think of Miru? Do you think it will succeed?”

“I hope it goes well.”

The control room is located about 10 kilometers from the launch pad.

In a small space, about 40 employees, including engineers, were sitting in a row in front of the control console.

It looks more like a PC room than a control room.

Allen saw us and waved.

“I’m here?”

“When did you come out?”

“Two hours ago.”

It looks like he’s been out since about 4 a.m.

There are now about two hours left until launch.

Everyone remained tense until the last moment.

The suffocating air pressed down on my shoulders.

The media is not allowed into the control room. Instead, Space Z public relations staff filmed the necessary video.

Trish came here not as a reporter but as a biographer.

She quietly took some pictures so as not to disturb the people working.

The news played quietly on the TV hanging on the wall.

The media showed images of the spaceship and people who came out to watch the launch.

Thousands of people gathered around the launch site, and everyone prayed for a successful launch.

Sena, her friends, and Sunwoo will be watching the launch scene right nearby.

Trish asked me in a low voice.

“What do you think will happen?”

“I hope it succeeds.”

I know the results from the first round.

Unfortunately, the first launch fails.

But I couldn’t tell him this.

There are two reasons.

Firstly, because I couldn’t remember exactly what the cause of the failure was, and secondly, it might be different this time.

Since a lot has changed since I returned, there is no guarantee that the results will be the same as the first time.

Fuel injection took place about an hour before launch.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly without any problems.

“Engine starting to cool down. “All 33 are fine.”

“good!”

To push that huge mass into space, 33 Rex engines were installed on the first stage rocket.

At that moment, the reason for the failure appeared in my mind.

I spoke to Allen Eberhart.

“We have to stop firing.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I mean the launch pad ground.”

“Why the ground?”

“Can it really withstand the heat and pressure generated by 33 engines?”

“… … .”

A few people looked surprised at what I said.

The heat and pressure that a rocket emits when it takes off is enormous. So the launch pad is built to withstand and disperse it.

The problem is that the spaceship is too big.

Allen asked Chad Stone.

“what do you think about it?”

He answered thoughtfully.

“When we designed Spacebase, we did not expect to launch a rocket the size of a Spaceship. “It is not clear whether the launch pad ground can withstand the aftereffects of the booster.”

He probably knows this too. This is because problems were raised from the time the launch pad was designed.

Allen seemed to be in trouble for a moment.

All kinds of expressions appeared and disappeared on his face in a short period of about 10 seconds.

And Allen immediately opened his mouth.

“Proceed as planned.”

Chad Stone nodded.

“All right.”

I was about to say something, but I shut my mouth when I saw Allen’s expression.

Many people worked hard to build that huge rocket and send it into space.

It will take at least several months to redesign and reinstall the launch pad.

Allen Everhart is the head of SpaceZ.

It is up to him to make the decision.

The launch has already been postponed twice. I can’t act here again.

There is no guarantee that the same thing will happen as in the first episode.

While I was thinking that, the countdown began.

[10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3… … .]

Allen Everhart leaned back in his chair and looked at the monitor.

Trish took a picture of it.

The moment the number becomes 0.

The largest rocket in human history ascended toward space, spewing fire.
