Part 3/7:
With the world holding its breath, remembering promises made to his family, Ethan initiates the launch sequence. As the signal from NASA lights up, he enters the coordinates for Mars, igniting the light-speed engine. In a swift and shocking instant, Ethan experiences the bending and warping of the fabric of spacetime, arriving in front of Mars in just two minutes—a feat that typically takes light three minutes to travel from Earth.
The triumph is palpable. Back on Earth, celebrations ensue as the excitement of breaking the cosmic barrier fills the air. Abby, Ethan’s wife, watches with pride and anxiety, fully aware of the risks her husband faces.
