A New Spaceport

They arrive to New York's spaceport located 10 kilometers from the city, they land in-front of the main terminal and then a guard approaches them and escort them inside the terminal where they see a stage and seats are set for the ceremony, they sit in the first row where she see seats assigned to the mayor of new york, and couple of CEO's of companies Eva didn't heard off in her earth.

john look at her "I will explain to you, those are the companies are the civilian companies that will fly from this spaceport, next to us is seating the mayor of New York missis. Jessica Isenberg, and behind us seating other city officials, the mayor will start and then I will do my speech and then then the spaceport CEO and then will go to the launch area." Then john remembers "I need to go for couple minutes I need to discuss something with the spaceport personal." And he gets up and walks away.

Then a woman sits near Eva, "hello miss walk, I am happy to meet you, I am Jessica Isenberg, but I think you will know as fellow American, and a one that lives that close, in buffalo".

Eva stops her "how did you know that?", she asks, "honey didn't you know; you are all over the news, where you have been in the last week since the day you got from johns office in-front the American delegation everyone are talking about you, what you thought, that you would date the strongest person in the galaxy and nobody will know?", Jessica replies, but before Eva could respond john appears "hello Jessica long time no see", "hello john, how was your journey?", Jessica asks, "I will publish everything in the media as I know you love it, now go to the stage they want you to be ready", John answers and then Jessica stands up and goes towards the stage.

"did she say something not at place, Jessica is kind of a big nose person, where she can she will stick it.", worried john asks Eva, "no, she didn't say anything bad, just said that I am all over the news, in the last week I was so busy exploring I didn't think about an option like that, why they are talking about?", Eva replies to johns worries,

"oh, Eva I thought you know, first don't worry they only know what I want them to know so they could shut-up, if it disturbs you I will them to quit it.", john says to Eva, "no, it will only raise suspicion, just I never felt so…", Eva start to say but John interrupts her, "famous, I know what you are feeling the first time I talked to the press after my FTL discovery I was all over the news, not to talk about after the establishment of the federation, I was all over the media, but it goes as fast as it comes, so don't worry.", he tells her and then holds Eva's hand as the ceremony starts, while Jessica speaks she doesn't listen as thoughts fly throw her head thinking about this situation and then they call john to stage and he speaks about how this spaceport will make space more accessible to the people of NYC, after his speech, the CEO of the spaceport talks about expected numbers of flights the spaceport could take in the first year of operation and then the ceremony ends and john approaches to Eva "come after me, now it's time for the first launch", he tells her.

Eva follows john through the spaceport and they get into a car that takes them to a hanger, they enter it and see 'The Explorer' inside of it, " I don't understand?", she asks, "surprise, we are the first passengers to leave the spaceport, after what happened in buffalo I thought, that I will take you to space that you could clear your head and you will join me in my meeting with the Orenian leadership, and we will see some space colonies", john replies with a smile, "it is so thoughtful thank you!", Eva says and hugs john.

Afterwards They enter the ship and go to the command room, "you need to sit as it will be a high G launch, you need to know that most small ships don't come equipped with a strong enough Fusion reactors to launch from earth or even to warp that why we use bigger ships based in the moon and mars to fly interstellar, so we use space canons to launch small ships to space, the explorer has strong enough reactor to fly FTL but for today we will use the civilian method to launch to space", john explains to Eva.

Then the ship starts to move down, they are on an elevator, after couple of minutes the get to an underground tunnel that is Inclined upward, then a countdown starts "ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, Launch!".

And then she feels the G, they start to move fast through the tunnel, and then they get out of the tunnel in a speed of 25 Mach, and before she can process, they are already in space.

"exiting isn't it?", john asks

"yes, in my earth we use slower methods for launch, we use a method of launching using ramjet engines and in space above earth an interstellar drive is attached to the rear of the ship and takes us to the destination", Eva replies.

"I know your method has less G but it is also more dangerous, after I learned the mechanics behind that, now for let's set course to our first destination the colony 'Tyson', but we will have to stop in the way", john says while sending a command in the holo-deck.
