'A distant, habitable planet, a crew of six; three women and three men, a perilous journey.'
I read the news with a sinking heart. They were going ahead with the mission even though it was rife with danger.
They were going ahead with the mission of setting up a planetary base in an exoplanet *Himanshu- 3c136* situated about 21.9 million light years ahead of earth. The space capsule "Eagle 97" was travelling at the speed of light.
*********
The captain of the space vehicle, captain Edward, went to the communication chamber, trying to contact the Russian cosmodrome using radio waves.
"Russian space agency, this is captain Edward, Do you copy?"
"Yes sir, all clear" said the signalman.
"Looks like we are close to reaching the exoplanet *Himanshu-3c136*. I hope all the paths are clear".
"Tell captain Rogue to turn west now. There are asteroids on the way. You are at risk" shouted the signalman.
"How's that possible? We are travelling at a speed of light?"
"Captain Edward, if you do not turn south now, the result is a catastrophe. *Turn West at once*"
"Orders obeyed sir".
The space vehicle underwent a slowdown, turned west and proceeded. Soon they arrived at the exoplanet, blooming in green and blue. Just like the earth.
"Mission partially accomplished" other astronauts celebrated .
"Ok now! Slow down the vehicle captain" Mark said.
"Yes sir" Captain Rogue shouted.
The capsule made a smooth touchdown to the land.
"Hey there NASA. This is captain Edward speaking from the teleporter. Good news, The Eagle has landed".
Celebrations continued from Andorra to the USA.
**********
"Praise the lord" shouted the astronauts on setting their foot on the planet. It was filled with green meadows, lush tropical jungle and backwaters.
"This is miraculous" Rogue one exclaimed.
"An exoplanet orbiting a hot star. But still cool as that of the earth" unbelievable. Captain Edward said.
An astronaut came to captain Rogue, handing over the teleporter.
"Hello Captain Rogue. This is President Gorbachev of Russia. I'm talking to you by telephone from the St Peter's square in Russia. The whole world is proud of you today. You hit a milestone that was impossible. Congratulations"
Meanwhile at the planet *Himanshu 3c136*, the astronauts set up their planetary base using light weight materials and resumed their exploration. In those 6 months, they explored various flora and fauna in the planet, confirming that humans will be able to survive there in the near future.
