The bleachers had no luxury section. No special box held the three of them. They intermixed with other people, standing, watching, waiting who did not have their multi-billion-dollar net worth.

The sky looked like a cerulean marble, clear and welcoming. The clouds had dissipated and wiped away any coverage like a squeegee.

“I’m proud of myself,” Lisa finally said on the bleachers.

“You ought to be,” Entrepreneur Paul replied. He smiled like the money had been placed in his hand.

Loreen beamed. She canted her chin and looked on with a sense of hope and grace. Both had been earned by her idealism. All of the strife, and toil, and snares and struggle melted away like water on a hot electric stove.

“Let’s get ready for this launch and the cash we’re to make. It is about the money. That’s for sure. But it’s also about the achievement and the fact humans will be on Mars one day,” he mentioned.

“The greatest way for us to acknowledge our win is to look up,” Lisa announced. She stretched her brown face up and looked at the clarity of the firmament.

Loreen pointed at the various sites on the spacecraft.

“They ran wet dress rehearsals all week. This should be a beautiful launch.”

Entrepreneur Paul showed his phone to Loreen. It showed the private company Zino Aeronautics preparing for the launch.

“Ah, so you’ve seen this!” He nodded his head and replaced his mobile device in his pocket.

Lisa gasped like a child and smiled with mirth and a clean innocence. She noticed that the sequence for launch commenced.

Entrepreneur Paul bent his head back, too. The initiation process began. Loreen looked on with her brown eyes reflecting the fire from beneath the ship. As the aircraft lifted she smiled so gladly.
