Our precious cargo is on board and we are ready to start our journey to planet X-37 in the Vega system. Navigator Jake has completed the flight pattern calculations and we will depart as soon as we get clearance from the Luna Base authority.
The 25 light years of distance to planet X-37 requires our vessel to execute gravitational slingshot procedures around three black holes along the way.
As the humble historian of our drone, I don't understand the complex scientific procedure involved in black hole gravitational slingshots. However, I do know that time and space shrink into smaller and smaller pieces as we approach the event horizon of a black hole. Since both time and space get quite small, it makes it very easy for our vessel to jump from place to place in a very short time. The most difficult part is to escape from the gravitational pull of the black hole.
Navigator Jake assures me that, if all goes well and our navigation system works the way it is supposed to, we should be able to complete our journey in less than a month.
