I headed out to where our launch complex 39 should be.
They still had similar giant twin roads. Not quite the same material, but of a similar size. So obviously they intended to move something big out here.
It really did feel like being back home. I had spent so much time on location here , that it was my entire life. My apartment was just where I slept.
As I got closer I could see that the launch platform was not there. In it's place was a giant metal plated sphere covered in scaffolding. About halfway up the sphere was a large doorway, this had an elevated metal road sticking out of it parallel to the earth. It looked like half a bridge shoved into a ball. For some reason there was a large satellite dish placed on top of the sphere.
As I got closer I could make out the shape of the panels on the sphere. It appeared like the door could be positioned on any side of the sphere, and the floating road could be repositioned with it. The end of the road was resting on a tower that appeared to be on a train track that made a wide circle around the sphere.
What the hell is that thing?
In the distance where complex 39b would have been was something that I could only describe as a nuclear power plant. It had similar towers, but there was something distinctly different about it.
I could only imagine this was meant to power this machine somehow.
I thought I was going to be investigating a world the same as our own, and although it appears they were human, this technology seems to make them quite alien to us.
