Hardfork 19: Not to the moon, to Jupiter

AUSTRALIA, STEEMIT ROCKET CONTROL: Steem was never destinted for the moon. Our initial mission planners under estimated the potential. It was to go all the way to Jupiter, which is advantageous, because Jupiter has many moons. Thank you, Hardfork, 19!

This is how it happened:

The launch commander pulled the lever. Hardfork 19 was a go. The Steem rocketship had launched some time ago, and its destination, the moon; was under review. It veered toward the Jovian system, and there was a resounding success, throughout mission control, there was cheering.

Here is a highly complicated drawing of the launch trajectory:

Our thanks to the fine engineers at ST-NASA-EEM for providing the technical trajectory of the journey. (Picture by me)

Launch commander Mr Ground Control spoke like the David Bowie song, of the happy minnows riding in the rocket ship:

"We have very solid reason to believe that by time we pass the Steembelt we will confirm the existence of Dolphins and possibly Whales beneath the surface ice of the Jovian moon Io." He paused before adding, sounding suspiciously like an Arthur C Clarke novel: "Our early probes seem to indicate that there's a solid monolith, known as the reward pool at an undisclosed location. We're focusing our efforts on landing as close as possible."

Hardfork 19 in the linear trajectory will allow our crew to arrive young, refreshed, and with plenty of ST-RATIONS-EEM available for consumption as they bathe in the solar winds.
