The rest of the week was very mundane, Leo was busy with the development of few new programs and the ideas for the betterment of the employees. Also with the massive expansion of the company he was meeting with a lot of people these days. The Butterfly technology had used the Cardinal Group to acquire a lot of small businesses and they were using modern technology to increase the income for themselves and the employees as well. However, everything took time, so while things were moving along in the background. Snow cleared up her schedule and decided to join the father and daughter duo for their trip to the Utopia Center. She was curious to find out what was going on. Leo had not told her anything and she only knew that they were experimenting on commercial space flights. Although it was more of an adventure experience, but for many people it was still irrelevant. However, she understood the purpose of this whole thing as these flights can open a lot of fields of business for them. However, what she didn't realize was that Leo was taking them on a flight to the edge of the world, and when Snow found this out, she was scared and asked Leo, "Are you crazy? What is the guarantee that the aircraft will be able to withstand all those conditions?" Leo sighed as he was sitting on a couch and Lily was covering her face with her small hands as well, because they both were looking forward to this flight while Snow had become the unexpected obstacle between the two people and their dream. Leo sighed and he said, "Snow, all the test parameters have been inspected not once not twice but seven times. The aircraft has made seven trips and not only had it gathered a lot of data, we have the strategies for everything that can go wrong. The cabin of the aircraft is actually a titanium cell wedged inside the body of the aircraft. If the engines fail, or anything that compromises the structural and operational capacity of the aircraft the plane will eject the cabin and deploy heavy duty military parachutes. The cabin will land on the ground and automatically open the secure hatch. Not only that we have those ready to eat meal packets and medicine that can sustain seven people for seven days. Also, this is not the final human trial. The entire team has done it, and even lady Amina Yulu, the chief researcher has tried flying and she is safe. Why are you so scared?" Snow shook her head and replied, "The math of this entire safety measure does not add up. Do you need me to tell you how fast a thing falls when it is located at the height of hundred kilometers? Three thousand five hundred sixty eight, 3,568 kilometers per hour. You think that only parachutes can slow down that speed?" Lily was surprised and asked, "Ma, how do you know the speed?" Snow rolled her eyes and said, "I have seen the data. Now which one of you is going to tell me one good reason to let you step on that vehicle?" Leo shrugged and said, "I wanted Lily to see that the world we live in is a piece of art. On the outside everything appears to be calm and natural, but on the inside we are toiling through the pressure and the burden of expectations. We are also causing destruction at a scale that could change the scenery from the edge or the outside completely. Thus, since she is young, I thought we would be able to make her understand what she needed to do when she grows up. Since you have read the data you must have seen the fall break engines around the cabin, right? Also, Snow, I know that you are worried because this is something that we are not aware of. However, you are the one who has always said that if we bury our head in the sand the world would always stay dark. To see the light it is better to be your own light." Lily stood up from her chair and said, "Ma, everyone is here, and we are not going to be in there alone, but there will be the researchers and the people who know how to operate the cabin in case, anything goes wrong. Also, do you think these people would let Baba, who is giving them money for research to go onboard a vessel that is not safe?" Snow sighed, she knew that her words were nothing more than just a weak protest. She thought that if she put out the emotion card, they might falter but these two people were so driven and focused towards their goal that they argued out their way out of the situation using logic. Finally, the tug of war came to an end, and the people got dressed. They wore special pressurized suits and even Lily had a special suit of her size made for her. As Leo was finishing the brief of dos and don'ts, he caught sight of a research center staff, who came over and whispered in his ear, "Sir, there are a few reporters looking for you on the gates." Leo smiled and said, "Can you have them come inside and wait near the hangar? Tell them that me and my family are taking a flight to the edge of the world and will talk to them afterwards." The staff member nodded and then after all the processes finished, Leo, Snow, and Lily sat in a golf cart that led them through the research center and brought them to the hangar where the high-speed plane was standing. The size of the aircraft was not too big, but it was not too small either. The engine had to be big enough to produce the power needed to break through the binds of the gravitational force. The reporters were shocked to see the situation, and quickly they began to contact their head office to start special live telecast. This was rare content, and even most of the world's best space research organizations have yet to achieve free flight to the edge of the atmosphere. Yet, here was the project Butterfly Flight by Leo and his company. ... Leo and Snow sat together with Lily strapped in between them. The little girl was very actively looking around, and Leo smiled at her, while Snow was still anxious, but they were all covered with glass helmets and could only talk after the communication was enabled after the take off. A big screen outside the cockpit displayed the countdown timer and as soon as it reached 0, the vehicle began to move, and after a couple of seconds, the passengers sensed a strong force pushing them back into their seats, and Lily chuckled as she said, "Okay, this is fun! Can we go to the moon also?" Leo chuckled and said, "Little goblin, that is something for the future, for now, just look forward to the beautiful sight that we will see at the peak of the flight." Lily nodded and replied, "Also, I will be able to swim in the air. Hahaha, I will tell Miss Verse back at class, what I did, she will get big eyes and look super cute." Leo and Snow chuckled as Lily chattered a little. The entire footage and dialog between them was being streamed directly on Yulu streaming app, and the world was going crazy about it. Someone from the viewers commented, 'The little flower is gonna bloom at the edge of the world today. I pray for their safe return.'
