"The project of humanity's hope was a huge failure."
"That day, 4 of the 5 rockets exploded as they were about to take off, killing 20 people."
"The rockets were detonated deliberately."
"Only one manned rocket successfully reached space, but the rocket proved to be faulty and lost communication with headquarters."
"There was a huge conspiracy behind the project of humanity's hope... This project should never have existed."

"Is everything ready?"
"Yes, the rocket status seems positive, astronauts can get on the rocket."
While the tension in the atmosphere was increasing, the astronauts arrived at the launch site where the rocket would take off.
Stratus and his team came to the rocket for the flight. Stratus felt a slight tingle in his neck and saw Cumulus looking at his with concern.
Stratus slowly approached Cumulus, not wanting to startle him and adjusted his tone of voice from the harsh and clear tone caused by his status to a softer tone.
"Are you okay, Cumulus?"
"Yeah... Just... Stratus this rocket is not safe-"
"EVERYONE READY, PLEASE BOARD THE ROCKET." A man in a suit shouted at the astronauts from afar, then shot a stern look at Cumulus.
Cumulus turned from the man's stern gaze to Stratus and was about to say something before changing the subject.
"Y-you know, this will be my first flight."
"What? But only experienced astronauts could undertake this mission."
"Yeah, but they must have thought I would be an asset to the team with my athletic skills and good grades." Stratus glanced at Cumulus and was reminded of how muscular he was, which made Cumulus's words make more sense.
BOOOOOOOOM
A huge explosion was visible from a distance, this was the other rocket about to take off. One of the other rockets exploded just as it was about to take off.
"GET IN THE ROCKET, NOW!" The man in the suit shouted to the astronauts.
Just as Stratus was about to refuse, Cumulus dragged his and his other teammates into the rocket. They tried to resist him, but Cumulus was so strong that he managed to get everyone into the rocket.
Suddenly the rocket's door closed.
"Ten seconds to take off." The announcement was made and everyone panicked.
"TEN SECONDS INTO FLIGHT? WHICH IDIOT GAVE THE ORDER FOR TAKEOFF?" Stratus shouted.
"7"
"6"
"EVERYONE, GET TO YOUR SEATS. I WANT EVERY SINGLE PERSON HERE TO SURVIVE THIS FUCKING FLIGHT, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"
"3"
"2"
"1"
