Interplanetary : Reaction of Humans (1)
(I will also ask you to locate all the grammatical errors I have made and also some constructive criticism)
=================
January 03, 2053, year of our lord.
The New Year still rages on with fireworks still being launched to the sky. Late celebrations were held, and terrorist organisations were brought down.
(Prologue below)
But ignoring all the chaos, with the formation of the multi-continental federation back in 2027(excluding socialist country's). Which were all NATO members. This also meant space agency's were much closer.
NASA, ESA, JAXA, CSA, ROSCOSMOS etc.
With the increase in funds. The space agency's mentioned above had the best of attitudes as they invested in several things. The mass cooperation with SpaceX. Their main supplier of rockets, the research on ion propulsion. The construction of a moon space sport, and finally, the construction of a Mars industrial and research sector.
With the success of the Artemis program of making the Lunar Space station. The collaborative Space agency's held a vote on what lander would be chosen. As so, the SpaceX Starship was chosen as it descended on the moon with a soft landing.
Having the first women and man of color on the moon. Placing the American flag from a safe distance from the rocket. After the collection of samples. The astronauts boarded the rocket and went back to the space station.
While this happened, another SpaceX rocket landed on Mars. Dis-engaging tons of robotic drones, which would capture Martian rock and put them on a giant 3D printer which would make material from the basalt to make the Mars habitat 'MARSHA'. A design which AI space factory made.
A moon refueling facility was set up due to the 20% success rate of orbital refueling the starship. As so, all launches from earth will have a direct course to the moon to land on it to refuel. The starship would then fire its engines and go to an orbital course to Mars.
This process was continued when musk finally fulfilled his 1000 starships per 10 years to launch to Mars. It was actually not 1000 starships but 2000!
As such, the Mars colony was finished by 2040. Albeit will never be self sufficient any time soon.
The anti-Martian dust equipment was effective at its job as solar powered rovers were sent out to get lots of samples that would be shipped to earth.
The mining industry on Mars was also effective as the starships brought along machines that can turn iron oxide into fully fledged iron. In which, Mars is literally covered in iron oxide. As such, the production of rockets 'skyrocketed'
The death of musk was sad. All his company's had no CEO to follow until someone came up. And someone did.
John mueller, the son of Tom mueller. The former lead engineer of SpaceX. John mueller immediatly did the right decision by shutting down hyper loop and the underground system. Calling it stupid. He does have a phd in engineering and astrophysics.
================
As we reach 2053, January 03, fireworks explode in the air as people begin making as much noise as they could. This was going on for 2 days since new year as it was a special year to celebrate the Mars colony being opened for visitors and business men who seek to get more funds in the industrial industry.
NASA astronomers on large telescope facility's did some sightseeing on the solar system. With the moon being the first shown. Mars.
The astronomers then rotate the huge telescope as they immediately view the planet. Venus. But something was off, why was venus more blue than usual?
"Guys do you see this?" One of the astronomers say as the other astronomers come to look.
"Holy hell! What is happening to its Gaseous atmosphere!
"We need to report this to the Kennedy Space Center immediately!"
========
January 10, 2053 year of our lord.
Kennedy space Center
Officials and astronomers alike come into the conference room. This was also joined by ESA, Roscosmos, CSA, JAXA astronomers and officials.
Then the administrators came in
Representing each agency that formed the best of friends alliance as the NASA administrator took his seat first.
The NASA administrator stood up as he sees everyone has taken their seats.
"Today, as you know it. Is one surprising day. That is why I called you all" he spoke as all of the astronomers stayed silent.
"Today, I have something to announce" the administrator paused as he then spoke of the unlikely. "Venuses stronghold of atmospheric greenhouse gases. Is dissipating and is now in the process of revealing a blue world." When the administrator said this. All the astronomers gasped as the other agency's administrators didn't even budge.
"Some probes that were launched to Venus about 10 years ago came back online and has now transmitted us a photo of Venus. Sadly we didn't incorporate a zoom in feature so we can't really survey the ground for the time being." The ROSCOSMOS administrator says as the JAXA administrator had something to say.
"The probe Tokugawa that was supposed to gravity assist from Venus to mercury has given us a recent photo of it. Unlike the old probe roscosmos sent to Venus. The Tokugawa probe holds a zoom-in feature. Sadly we lost contact with the probe when we reached LVO" the JAXA administrator says as he connected his phone to the big screen behind the administrate seats as it showed a photo of the slightly blue Venus. With it, a bit greeny land could be seen if you squinted.
The astronomers immediately were flabbergasted. Soon they would come up with such theory's. It could be considered insane!
They then started chattering with each other. Trying to get their opinions with each other until one such astronomer shouted.
"This is full of wack! How about you stop lying to us!"
The NASA administrator immediately face palmed as he elaborated. "This is confirmed by multiple sources from almost 500 astronomers. 20000 civilians. Researchers on the ISS alongside on the moon.
The astronomer who shouted immediately stormed out. Mad that he was proven wrong.
"Anyways, roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, And CSA have come to the decision to construct a fully fledged ion probe with a very powerful camera to survey the earth turning Venus in a polar orbit" the nasa administrator says as all his counterparts nod.
The scientist next to the ESA space administrator steps up.
"Me and my team have done the math and at this pace. Venus will have its hell zone of an atmosphere replaced by a bluish earth replica in exactly 2 years." An ESA lead scientist announces as he elaborates more.
"Our collaborative probe will be exactly made in 22 months. Or a year and 10 months. We will launch the probe when Venus is in the right position for a interplanetary trajectory"
All of the astronomers and workers nod as the administrator concludes the conference into an end.
=============
The industrial prowess of the multi continental federation started as the materials needed for the probe was sent to the European space agency.
NASA was producing the Ion engine
JAXA was producing the camera
ROSCOSMOS was mining the necessary amount of methane for the fuel
And CSA was in charge of mineral logistics.
And then after 22 months, the probe was completed. Launch date is to be expected at around a month later.
====================
====================
March 27(used venera 8 launch date). 2054 year of our lord.
"This is EuroNews alongside my counterparts from CNN international And BBC news!"
"We are 5 miles from the Guiana launch pad! Housing the Magellan Space probe is SpaceXs mighty Falcon Super Heavy!"
"Yep! The successor of the falcon heavy! This thing can carry a whopping 200 tons to geostationary orbit! Like I know what that even means! I'm just doing my job!"
"Today is official you couch potato's! The Launch date was pushed from January 5 to March 27 because of some darn Xenophobes! Anyways, can you see in the bottom left corner! It seems like it has hit T-minus 4 minutes so prepare your stellaris soundtracks because this is gonna be good!"
"T-minus 10"
"9"
"8"
"7"
"6"
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Ignition initiated"
The Falcon super heavy boosters and core booster fire as the controlled explosions methane fuel lifts the giant rocket housing the Magellan probe.
The falcon super heavy exited the atmosphere as it de-couples its boosters. Which landed at a spot in Guiana.
The main core booster and the bearings still remained as the booster still continued to fire its chemical propulsion.
The core booster runs out of fuel as it gets decoupled. With the last stage booster firing. Getting rid of its bearings revealing the Magellan space probe,
On the other hand, The core booster retrogrades as it lands on a SpaceX oil rig turned launch pad.
The last booster remained as it just ran out of fuel once it achieved a parking orbit. It decouples to fall back to earth and get destroyed while the Magellan space probe is still in its parking orbit. Expanding its solar arrays.
After staying in its parking orbit for 2 days. The Magellan probe fires its ion drive as the thing slowly accelerates. Once the velocity was achieved. The ion drive was put off as a gravity assist from the moon to Venus was necessary.
It makes it to the moon in 3 hours as the moon's gravity slingshots it into a planetary trajectory to venus.
To speed this up. The probe once again fired its ion drive as it accelerated slowly. Gaining speed while at it. Now going at 100 thousand miles per hour.
Estimated. It would arrive at Venus in 3 weeks - 2 months.
===================
Almost a century ago
1965, year of our lord(human time)
Our expeditionary unit consisting of me and my other 6 friends left the capital city of Geryuganshoop. Our mission is to explore the mischief lands which make up 80% of our continent.
This was a necessary option as a looming war was upcoming with the species of Venusia which comprised different species. Such as the Plantees which was the most influential of them all. A mix of a mammal and plant whose bodies were heavenly proportioned as humanoids. They are female only society .
Next are the Ally's of the plantees, the Elven meritocracy. Unusual humanoids who have light and pale skin with one of the most beautiful faces a humanoid species could have. Their males were unusually petite and on rare occasions were actually strong. Their females though, once again, as heavenly proportioned as the plantees. They were extremely pacifistic and loved to cooperate with those darn trees.
Next we're the zhouans. My race, we are humanoids with blue skin, we stood at an average of 4.9 feet tall and our tallest are around 5 feet 2. We are a land-water based society. Though most of our souls live on land. Some lived on the coastal sea floor by using the very pressure resistant materials on Venusia!
And the final species, the octupy. A species we have met before we became fully land based. They reside on a huge island next to the continent and are a warrior race. And fucking once again! Dominated by females! Why the hell are they even dominated by females!? I do not know though I hope I get an answer. They are humanoid race that replaced their legs with 8 tentacles, just like their ancestors. They had
They had much paler skin than the elves with their pair usually being pink or purple with the tip of their tentacles also having purple. We have sufficient info on them so I can say the normal octupy stood at a height of 5.6 and the tallest of them was 6.1.
Of course, these were just the races. In reality. Each of our races are separated by nations. Lots of nations, I come from the Fegerion theocracy. We believe in our sole deity. Gaia, our supposed sister planet by our astronomers which used the latest invention : the telescope.
But changing the topic back to where it started.
Me and my team traversed the hill side separating the safety regions with the large supercontinent of the mischief lands. We walked and gathered the fruit around us while holding our magic lock muskets. We setted up camp on the night.
But on one faithful day. Something that came from the heavens decended to Venusia! Our team only traversed 2 kilometers from the capital as we see it gliding to the mountainous region. We immediately abandoned our camp as we held our magic lock rifles and immediately went to try to see what the object was.
Suddenly the object deployed something that he didn't recognise. But he saw it slowed it down. As so, the team made it to where the medium sized object was gonna land. They stood back as they see the object decendinf onto their position as it landed and create a large dust cloud.
We immediately walked to it as we inspected it. It was bit big with it standing at 3 feet. But it surprised us was it's immense technology it utilised. And with some type of text.. CCCP? We immediately picked it up as we ran to the capital to report our findings!
====================
1967, Year of our lord.
A plantees individual walked with her close friend who was an elf. They both strolled through the forest with little clothing.
"The beauty of nature is always so mesmiring." Her elf friend commented while she nodded.
"I couldn't agree more. Dear friend"
They saw the exit to the forest as they walked to it. But suddenly something appeared on the sky. Descending slowly to the elven border village.
They stared at it hit the ground as it created a huge dust cloud. Which alerted them back to their senses to go and check what it was.
When they made it to the crash sight. They were met with the elven villagers too with some of the local militia musketeers coming in. Which were also female btw.
The musketeers came in and forced everyone to back away from the object that came from the object.
They immediately picked it up as they ran to a carriage as they immediately left the scene with the villagers dumbfounded.
Many thoughts come on their mind. Was that a gift from god? Was it some object that god accidentally dropped?! All the theory's were associated with god as that was the only thing that could've come from the heavens.

(Since I'm to tired to write anymore. Expect the Octupy reaction just like the plantees and elf reaction)
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It took me the whole day too!
If you want more due to the cliffhanger. Press the upvote button!
Anyways, I will also always ask for some constructive criticism as I've only been writing for 2 months now and am thriving to get even better!
(I also apologise if my interpretation of interplanetary Travel was unrealistic )
Some questions that maybe asked :
The venus natives scientific prowess is around the 1620s
Venus's horrible atmosphere was a conceal machine by a long dead advanced civilization that used to inhabit SOL.
The majority of the races are female dominated because of my hormones as a teenager.
