Well....that went better than expected, the Midnight III-A rocket was a success, and considering the solid fuel we were using, (thanks to pinkey pie for finding THAT recipe....though sugar-cube corner will need repairs.) that is apparently VERY volatile, never exploded the rocket.
Dusk and rough completed the first ever pony Extra Vehicular Activity, (gears tells me to just call it an EVA, and they will know what i mean.) which consisted of dusk (already in her space suit) to depressuri
After reviewing the Midnight I, i got this neurotic itch to change and redesign the rocket, needless to say, each test rocket did a little better than the last, the Midnight I achieved a higher ballistic trajectory than the Twilight, thanks to its new fuel (Liquid Oxygen x Kerosene mixture) and rocket motor.
Then the Midnight II was designed a little diffrently, with 4 long tanks surrounding the center tank, and each with a motor of its own, giving the Midnight II the ability to gain orbit.
Entry 6
After returning to earth unscathed, i had so many ideas, so many things to change, to make the rocket, bigger, better and ultimately, more powerful.
i pulled gears and bubbley into the conference room,
"woah midnight, whats gotten into you?" gears had a worried look as i shut and locked the door,
"yeah, youve locked yourself in here for days after you came back, even your wife hasnt seen you....whats going on?"
I smiled, "guys, while i was up there, seeing the earth
My wife and daughter visited today....to see me blast off on a 150 foot tall fuel can that could explode at any time.....great....just..great.
in a few minuites ill become the second pony to enter space, and the first into orbit, uggh....as i stare out the capsules window to the clear light blue sky, im praying silently to aunt celestia that my flight is safe.
i can hear bubbly in my ear mic "Engine ignition, 5...4...3..2.....1.." soon im unable to hear her anymore as my body is pressed
The Twilight 2 was nearly finished, as i stared up at the large almost 150 foot tall rocket, i gulped a bit, if the test pony came back alive, i promised bubbly i would ride the second.
Me? a prince...ride a metal cyilender of flaming fuel to the edge of space, where if the slightest thing went wrong id be stuck out there? great.....just great. WHY did i get myself into these things? i asked myself.
"e-excuse me?" i turned and met the yellow...and slightly....derped eyes of our test pilo
Today, we finally got the photos from the Twilight 1 developed, i named the rocket after my wife, the princess, beacuse i somehow knew it would be as successful as she is.

"the earth...is blue." bubbly smiled, "wow, thats very beautiful, and the accelerometer and gravity detector provided very useful information." gears looked up, "now, the real fun can begin, the Twilight was a success sure, but now we need to make a rocket
Today started slowly, the supply truck delivering food as well as this delicious brown drink the scientists called "coffee" was late....again, gears and bubbly said it happened all the time.
i cant imagine why...
when i got my flank out of bed, i looked over at my desk, it was full of papers and books, and everything i could possibly read about rockets, space, and anything in between, but sitting atop the books was a large blueprint with lines drawn on the white grid.
Today was the day
I arrived at this place called Cape caneighvral, its nothing impressive, but what was, was the multiple buildings all over the place, one was in a tetrahedron like shape with 3 satellite dishes, one was really REALLY tall, one was really WIDE, and the other two looked like administration buildings.
When i arrived i was greeted by Princess Luna, who thanked me for taking over the program for her, and assured me i would do fine....boy...if i knew then, what i know now...i would have tried to r
