The Adventures Of Ticker54365 Continue!

Last time, Ticker54365 successfully returned from orbit. He sets his sights on something bigger than orbit however, As well as something that has never been done before.

Ticker54365: Good morning digger!



Digger: Morn.

Ticker54365: You called me here for a reason, What was it?

Digger: While you were staring at the moon for 10 hours, I built you an experimental SSTO that should take you to the moon.

Ticker54365: What's an SSTO?

Digger: Single Stage to orbit.

Ticker54365: Oh.

Digger: It should stop Edgar from fainting. I need you to test fly it.

Ticker54365: Alright.

Edgar: I'm back!

Ticker54365: That's good and all, But you are needed in mission control.

Edgar: Oh! Better head over.

2 Minutes later...

Edgar: Alright, I'm starting the countdown now.

Digger: It's an SSTO spaceplane, You don't need a countdown. Just give him permission to take off!

Edgar: You are go for...Launch? Takeoff? Flight? I don't care, Just fly.

Ticker54365: Engines are online and running at full power!

Ticker54365: I am in the air!

Edgar: It flies?

Digger: IT WORKS!!!

Ticker54365: Rockets are running at full power, Fuel consumption is very high. You should consider using the propellers on the C130 that Crab II used to let survivors come visit him. Too bad they murdered him.

Digger: Noted.

Ticker54365: Alright, I'm in space. Performing apogee kick!

Ticker54365: Orbit reached!

(2 hours later...)

Ticker54365: Preparing for reentry!

Digger: I included a special heat shield. It's called a "radiator".

Edgar: Not a proper shield, But it should work...Probably.



Ticker54365: Huh? What's that? Must be some space junk.

Ticker54365: Reentering! Heat shield is holding fine...mostly.

Ticker54365: I see the space center!

Ticker54365: Landing!

Alright, Lining up...

Edgar: Come on...

Edgar: You are on the ground!

Ticker54365: I'm going too fast!

Ticker54365: I'm gonna overshoot...

Ticker54365: Oops...

Digger: Ugh! All that mud in the tires...

Ticker54365: Sorry...

Digger: It works, And that's all that matters. I should change the takeoff rockets to jet engines optimized for high altitude for maximum effectiveness.

(1 hour later)

Ticker54365: Edgar, It's time.

Edgar: Yes. Time for a giant leap for...Um...Zombiekind? SANI virus? SANI viruskind?
