Chương 436: Historic Moment

The sun had just risen over the expansive launch site, casting a golden glow across the crowd that had gathered to witness the historic moment. The sound of chatter and excitement filled the air, as thousands of people from all over the empire had come to see the rocket launch that would take the first Ruthenian astronaut into space.

In the center of the launch site stood the towering rocket, its sleek metal body gleaming in the morning light. The countdown clock loomed large overhead, ticking down the seconds until launch.

From far away, a small platform had been set up for the Emperor and his family to watch the launch. Alexander stood tall and proud, dressed in his finest suit, while his wife and children stood close beside him, their eyes fixed on the rocket.

As the countdown reached its final moments, a hush fell over the crowd. All eyes were fixed on the rocket, waiting for the moment when it would blast off into the heavens.
