"...they've just given the all-clear, and I'm told the rocket is about to launch. Everyone here in the control centre is very excited.
Ah, and here is Helena Vogel whose husband, Oberst Rickard Vogel, is leading this, the first Verghastan space flight. Frau Vogel, are you happy for your husband?"

"I am overjoyed, he is doing what he has always dreamed. The last few days he has been a pack of nerves, but he woke up this morning calm and ready. I spoke to him earlier via a video feed, and little Rickard wished his father good luck. This is a very important day for the family"

"I'm sure, Frau Vogel. Not many people can boast that their husband was the first Verghastan in space, eh?"

*Laughter*

"And now we can speak to the families of the other members of...what is?...the countdown! The countdown is starting! Dieter, turn the camera onto the rocket!"

"...4...3...2...1...LAUNCH"
