“Crew, you’ve received the orders,” Neil said in his best Jones impersonation. “Now let’s get a move on it. Fasten yourselves in and prepare for takeoff. On my mark, we’ll disengage our flaps and, ah, fly off the cliff, I guess.”

While the speech probably wasn’t up to his standard, Neil hoped Jones would be proud. Maybe there were some freeze-dried sunflower seeds on board, to make his impersonation complete.

Neil put a hand on the flap controls.

“Everyone ready?” Neil asked his team, and himself.

“We’ll follow your lead, my liege! We’ve got a mission to finish! The cosmos calls us!” added Riley.
