2 Terra 4 Service Station

Earth is one of my favorite places to visit. Its close proximity to the Sun star makes the Earth a most hospitable environment for creating and sustaining life. Earth is also the only place in the Solar system where we can refuel our four plasma containment units.

The engines of our drone vessel require plasma fuel to operate at full power. This bottom view shows how the primary engine (center) and the seven satellite boosters are arranged. The plasma fuel enables our vessel to soundlessly levitate free from the pull of gravitational fields and to travel great distances in a very short time.

The plasma we get from the Terra 4 service station is mined directly from the Earth's Outer Core. Although the fueling operation is simple and statistically safe, the procedure required to refuel our four plasma containers requires 24 hours.

While I write this, our cargo area is being reconfigured with a cryogenic support chamber. We will need this chamber during our next assigned mission. Once the chamber is installed, we will proceed to pick up the cargo at the Moon base.

We should be ready to go to the Moon base sometime tomorrow.
