[Feature] The Moment We've All Been Waiting For—the Rocket Launch!

◆Project Startaker Enters Its Final Phase At Last◆

At 1:00PM today, mankind's first manned rocket will launch, sending Major Emilia where no man or woman has gone before. This small step she takes into the unknown will undoubtedly be a giant leap for humankind.
The weather over Zeku Space Base is clear, with little trace of precipitation or crosswinds. The final preparations are proceeding smoothly, and, barring any unforeseen circumstances arise, the launch will take place on schedule.

◆Searing This Great Undertaking into Memory◆

Crowds are forming in Longlai, which sits near the space base, to watch this historic moment from up close. Though this town is renowned as an ideal tourist destination, it's never been so inundated with visitors before, and consequently, the locals seems just a little bit out of sorts. That said, since police officers have been dispatched there from all over, no immediate problems have arisen.
Broadcast trucks will be stationed on the streets in every city, including Edith, to televise the rocket launch and the space flight. Droves of people have flocked here as well, illustrating just how fervid the anticipation is for this historic undertaking.

◆The Dawn of a New Era◆

Should the launch today be deemed a success, the final objective of Project Startaker—'Humans setting foot into space, the largest and final frontier'—will be accomplished, and we will have secured a brand-new domain of activity.
Major Emilia will be piloting a highly-maneuverable unit that will fly at blinding speeds through zero-gravity vacuum of space. This will demonstrate the extend to which humans can move and operate within space. Depending on the outcome, it might be possible for people to perform maintenance on satellites directly, and the opportunities for experiments in space will be as boundless as the stars which inhabit it.
Whether a new space program will be carried out after the conclusion of Project Startaker is yet to be determined. However, the knowledge acquired from this flight will pave the way for further scientific and technological advancements.
Humanity will be entering into a new era, with the Calvard Republic at the helm.
Now, with hearts full of hope of pride, let's watch this great step into the future together.
