While the world was still reacting to the ongoing staff departures, the two space shuttles sent by Nova Technologies had just finished picking up the last of the staff and were now flying out of Earth, approaching the highest layers of the atmosphere at blinding speed.
The sequential stops both space shuttle made across twelve airports each, moving from continent to continent with speed so fast that it made everyone confused on the number of space shuttles was sent.
Now both shuttles were outbound, climbing through the thermosphere at velocities that commercial aviation didn't have numbers for, their hulls dark and clean against the thinning atmosphere above them.
Inside, the last groups of staff were still processing the fact that they were no longer on the ground.
