Eric was looking at the parameters of the projectile shot toward the atmosphere.
Looking at it's speed, although it is reducing, but unimaginable distance about 50,000 km travelled. Yet, it didn't reach the outer atmosphere of this planet.
"How huge is this planet? On previous blue and green stars, it would even reach the moon at such speed of 1000 km/s," Eric thought in surprise.
Looking at the speed reducing due to the friction and atmospheric pressure,
950 km/s
850 km/s
550 km/s
350km/s
All the way to 150 km/s,
[Stabilizing]
It stabilized at this pace because of the thrusters.
Eric glanced at the kilometers traveled by the craft so far; it's around 86,000 km.
89,000km
100,000km
One hour later,
200,000km
Two more hours later,
400,000km
Four more hours later,
800,000km
Finally, after waiting for around three hours, Eric sighed in relief.
