you remember the science center- years ago there was a test launch and the flight path was over your home. the debris path. you had nightmares for months about finding dead astronaut in trees. even now theres tension in the corners of your eyes. where theres a window, theres a wayward pilot dangling. you think about- [[Leslie Montfort|the pilot start]] [[The science center|the program start]] [[The provisions|the meals start]]

the reports liked to focus on the 'brave sacrifice' of the pilot, Leslie Montfort was the only pilot physically on-board, and had almost 7 years of under his belt at the center. he left behind a fiance and a son from a previous marriage. the vessel fell apart mid-flight and impacted the coast at about 200 mph. the recovered blackbox showed manual control inputs were being sent up until the moment it hit the ground. closed casket.

the test itself was tehcnically the maiden flight for a new model of spacecraft. specially engineered for mass passenger transit, and helped financed by private-prison group CoreCivic, if it'd been succesful the first prisoner group would've shipped off-planet within the season. i guess when they made the design more lightweight to compensate for the extra bodies they simply took too much. or they thought it was good enough to barely scrape by the test flight and accept a certain range of failure in the future.

there wasnt a large supply on board relative to most ships and relative to what it could theoretically hold. as it was only the pilot on-board, and as the trip would only take 7 weeks each way, the provisions were exactly as needed with no more and no less. upon landing he would've had the chance to re-stock before returning to earth. per request it was stocked with his favorite foods (//in non-perishable form//); freeze dried seafood, vegetables, and per the pilots requrest; packets of hot sauce. cooking is limited while on the ship but his family said at home he would sear salmon to perfection only to dip it into hot sauce like a chicken nugget. he liked to see peoples reactions.

dunno. (text-style:"italic")[...unlikely.] its hard to believe he'd have the access to sabatoge the craft before take-off. and it wouldn't explain the frantic inputs after the atmosphere tore its tender, steel-flesh apart. i mean, given the chance would you be able to knowingly fly to your own doom? [[no|space no]] [[yes|space yes]] ''[[im done pondering.|kitchen sink]]''

why not? itd be painful. i really dont want to die like that.| itd only delay the program by a few years, if it werent me itd be someone else.| i couldnt make my loved ones go through that.| i dont mind if the program was succesful, maybe it could enter civilian markets someday?|

whys that? potentially preventing thousands of lives from being shipped into the void- those lives outweigh mine.| at least history would remember me.| regardless of whether or not its sabatoged, its still a dangerous flight and i dont want any of my coworkers to risk it.|
