Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 201: To The Moon

It was the day he would officially take the office. There wasn't much to be excited about as he had already started to work as the president secretly.

But the official documents can only be signed after he takes the oath.

He came to the Capitol building. A huge crowd was gathered there. He couldn't believe that this many people could gather at that place. The secret service was focused on everyone's security except for him.

First, some NPC politicians came and gave their two cents about how great he was. Then it finally came to Alexander's speech. He didn't make it too long as it was a waste of time. But he still needed to make everyone happy who came to see him.

"Thank you for your support, everyone. The weather is very cold so I won't make it too long. I am going to take the highest administrative office in this country. Many responsibilities come with it as I will not only be responsible for this country but also many parts of the world. No matter what people say, America does have a lot of wealth that makes it very strong and we need to act responsibly with that kind of power.

"Tomorrow, we are going to take the first step for a better future. Tomorrow we will be launching a manned space mission to the moon. They will land there and live in the small habitat module for one week. They will look for the best place to start building our first moon colony.

"Currently, I and Tony were able to come up with a way to make cheaper electricity but if we are able to mine Helium 3 from the moon then we'll be able to make all our energy needs as cheap as tap water. So be sure to tune in tomorrow and witness history in the making."

He ended his speech and soon it came to taking the oath. "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and anyone in distress."

He added some words at the end. He wasn't just becoming the president for one country after all. He had the whole world in mind.

Then Dobby also took his oath. After that, there were some other senseless ceremonies, and finally the state dinner. He vowed to not do these things as they were nothing but wasting the tax money.

Finally, after all the pointless things were done, he sat in the oval office. With him were his boys. Dobby, Ragnarok, Howard, Arnold, and Connor. There were also some Seraphs who had been secretly working in the government for a while now. All of them would take other core departments of the cabinet.

"So, what's the plan?" Howard asked. They all sat relaxedly like they were in a park. Ragnarok was even smoking a cigar.

"The plan is pretty simple. Arnold, I want you to do an audit of all the fortune 500 companies and see if they're being naughty.

"Howard, I want you to make a list of every single terrorist organization in the world and also which country supports them.

"Dobby, scrap the Mutant Registration Act.

"Connor, use all the resources you need to see which country would be suitable for phase one of the Earth Federation. Our target is pretty simple. We are going to solve the problems of Earth and unite the world. We will start by making America an example. It's already night so let's meet tomorrow again at the Moon mission's launch site." He dismissed everyone.

Alexander then went into Phixheim as well. He had not slept in days and wanted to feel that again. The majority of the people in Phixheim were already asleep. Except for one certain foodie.

He found Gali hogging food from the refrigerator. "What are you doing, little Gali?"

She got spooked and looked behind, "Oh, it's you, Grandpa. I thought it was Grandma. I felt hungry so I came to eat."

"Why didn't you use the big light?" He asked.

"Oh, I wasn't that hungry. I just wanted some ice cream." She cutely said.

Alexander laughed and left after patting her.

...

The next day Alexander appeared at Kennedy Space Center. He had selected five people to send to space. 2 of them were humans and 3 of them were mutants or enhanced as they go by now. One had the ability of X-ray vision. He'll be useful in detecting if there is ice underground. Not to mention he was a geologist.

Then there was a woman who had simple super strength. She originally had a disfigured body but Alexander's Medicine gave her life back. She was a scientist and very knowledgeable about Chemistry and Physics.

Then there was a guy who had the ability to live in a vacuum. He didn't really need to breathe. He was going to be staying at the temporary moon base while the remaining come back.

The two humans were normal air force pilots trained to pilot the new spacecraft as well. The team of 5 was going to be making history.

The first woman to walk on the moon, the first mutant to walk on the moon. These names were going to be recorded in history.

...

The spacecraft that was going to be used wasn't really a rocket. It was an aircraft-like thing. The mechanism was simple. Just like on naval aircraft carriers, a long arched runway was set. The spacecraft would be given a crazy hard push with a hydraulic push mechanism. [Like in the movie Tomorrowland]

The push would be enough to send them to lower Earth orbit from where they could rely on normal thrusters powered by an arc reactor. The arc reactor didn't need much energy to charge so solar power was enough. Even mechanical power would be enough. For example, you could connect the chargers with a treadmill.

The launch was a joint effort between UNSRO and NASA. UNSRO was still in the start-up phase so NASA was starting the Moon mission for now.

The whole event was being shown on live television and the world was watching it. The reason was simply that no one had tried to go to the moon in years.

Alexander sat in the visitors' area of the control room. Looking at all the proceedings. Soon the speakers started making sounds. The count down started. But just as the launch time came suddenly warnings started to sound.

"Ghost, look into it and correct it," Alexander commanded.

In a matter of seconds, the warnings disappeared and the rocket was successfully launched.

Ghost reported back, "Sir, someone tried to hack in and mess with the launch."

"Who was it?"

"The attack came from within America. I backtracked on everything. The attack was initiated by a joint effort of multiple Oil and Energy Companies." Ghost briefed.

"It seems they don't want this mission to be successful. Probably because once I get Helium 3, their oil will become obsolete." He contemplated.

"Ghost, make a file on all these companies and gather all the data you can that link them to this attack. Also, look for all the crimes they have committed. It's time they learn that I'm not like my predecessors." He ordered

Once that was done, he enjoyed the live view from the spacecraft. It smoothly got out of the orbit and headed straight to the moon. It didn't need to revolve around the earth to set the trajectory. That thing was done because of a lack of fuel to manually steer. But now they have enough energy from arc reactors.

Alexander had told Uatu as well that he'll be making a colony on the moon. So Uatu had moved his base to the dark side of the moon.

Due to powerful thrusters, it just took the spacecraft 1.2 hours to reach the moon. The spacecraft had the hovering ability too so the landing wasn't that hard. Moon didn't have a very strong gravity so it would not be problematic when they leave either. Though Alexander knew that he'd need to upgrade the engine for Mars.
