Kabanata 99: Spatial grouping

Once the engines were totally heated up, the rocket was finally decoupled from the launching pad and launched up in the air. The roof automatically closed after the passage of 'EOSS Launcher 1', and the whole squad was off to a pretty long travel.

'This rocket is making some strange noises...' Keith realized after a chaotic start. The amount of smoke that has been produced was enough to cover up a good portion of the spatial room and the rocket did shake a lot more than it usually did. 'I think the fuel composition is a bit messed up.' He concluded, before installing himself more confortably in his seat. There was nothing to be worried about, since they had not exploded yet. In any case, they would just lose a week and a few days of time building another rocket if this one ended up badly.
