My Little Pony: My Little Pony The Martian

The 49th mission of the Changeling Space Program pierced the upper atmosphere with a nose cone formed by superheated plasma and rushed into space. Behind it, a set of enchanted crystal arrays hundreds of miles away propelled the rocket. To the edge of life's endurance. In the control cockpit, the sole occupant of the aircraft repeated one word, for the sole purpose of reminding the ponies on the ground that she still had signs of life and was conscious.

"OK!"

In fact, it can't be counted as a word, but more like a vague grunt, but Yuyu still insisted on making this sound, and at the same time, she somehow withstood the huge acceleration eight times the normal gravity that caused the damage to her whole body. The control device was always clutched tightly in the hooves.

"OK!"

There is no doubt that this flight was the worst launch she had ever flown; far better than her first flight, and even worse than the so-called "Cocoon's bad idea" that has been criticized in more than one book. Mission Five was better than anything she had ever experienced.

"OK!"

Her muscles were in real pain. Keeping one hoof on the engine throttle and the other on the steering column relies entirely on the fact that she (at least in her own mind) makes her the ideal ruler for her trouble-making subjects. strong willpower. But if she let go of her front hoof at this moment, there would be no way she could regain control under the current acceleration.

"OK!"

Under such horrific extreme acceleration conditions, it is no longer a decision that a rational mind would make to add fuel to the fire and start the only engine on this short single-stage test aircraft to continue to increase the thrust. . However, the engines on board are key to steering the spacecraft's completely vertical trajectory into orbit. Although the momentum wheel mounted in the cockpit has a good output power, it can only control the attitude of the spacecraft; the fifteen magic-driven propulsion towers are always pushing three rockets hidden behind the engine nozzle, which look very small in comparison. The target crystal flies in a direction away from the planet, and the actual orientation of the spacecraft has no effect on this.

"OK!"

Considering only the power of the aircraft itself, the spacecraft may only be able to push itself off the ground with a half-full fuel tank. With the help of the ring of enchanted stones on the ground far behind her, Cocoon can now not only enter orbit directly, but can also rendezvous with Concordia, making up for the station shift that was delayed by her previous affairs. The three-horse cabin carrying her (the other two seats are currently vacant) will fill the empty seats left after Cadence and a certain little stowaway boarded the return capsule from their original station.

"Okay, six point five G, it's weakening." After almost three minutes, Yu Yu was finally able to take a deep breath in a decent manner. "Course 90-50, fuel 60%, no abnormalities in any system." Of course, this refers to the spacecraft's systems. Every system in the pilot's body felt like parts that had just been removed from the cardboard model that came with a pony book. She can almost use herself as a parachute.

"On the 49th, Hughton received it." Listening to Rainbow Dash's voice on the channel, Cocoon restrained her unconscious frown. Yes, various space programs have been jointly operating recently, and that little arrogant man is indeed the second most senior pilot on the planet. But this time, at least nominally, he is from Houston. During the Changeling Space Program missions launched from the space center, she always felt uncomfortable when there were ponies other than that pony sitting in the vehicle communications seat. "Twilight has confirmed that you can enter orbit and rendezvous with Concordia. Repeat, Concordia rendezvous is allowed."

Currently, the acceleration was falling rapidly. Yuyu glanced at the speed display, and then slightly increased the thrust of the chemical energy rocket engine. For a moment just now, she was still wondering whether the person who created those deadly enchanted stones planned to let her stop in Concordia, or whether he planned to surprise the changeling queen and directly send her to the moon to become the first queen of the Equestrian Kingdom. Commander of the permanent moon base.

"On the 49th, this is ESA," Ha, said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here. The genius nerd must have gone to Rainbow Dash to get the headphones. "If we further limit the intensity of the mana flow, the extra weight carried by the NASA spacecraft should further reduce the acceleration during launch, so that the system can safely carry the Amicitas crew to escape. I think we are basically ready to send them The details of the design plan are awaiting the results of their own local testing.”

This sentence brought a smile to Yuyu's face. Even though the perfectionist "meddlesome and prying into the private life of the evil mastermind" pony princess always pissed her off, it felt really good when Twilight Sparkle's methods actually worked... because she failed. She will keep trying, and once she succeeds, it's usually a grand slam.

Yes, she had no problem with Twilight Sparkle's plan, as long as it wasn't for her own good.

"I think that sounds good," she replied. "Hurry up with all your research and stuff. It's time to take our horses home!"
