Part 3/9:
Upon launch, there’s a moment of tension when Commander Marina receives a concerning alert from the Hyperean Control Station. However, the launch proceeds smoothly, and the crew relishes their transition into orbit. The exhilaration is palpable, though David experiences discomfort due to space sickness. They soon connect to a solar power cable, facilitating artificial gravity and further enhancing their travel experience to Mars.
As the crew communicates with Earth in a live interview, we learn that this endeavor is especially meaningful for Marina as it is her last mission before retirement. David expresses his commitment to his research while Zoe revels in the thrill of her first space adventure.
