The problem of the spacecraft was easy to resolve. In addition to the four Stingray P-1s already being delivered to Future Mining, the Stingray X-1 prototypes built by Future Heavy Industries and Celestial-duty X-1 prototypes entered the delivery phase. By selecting a Stingray X-1 and adding an attack module, it could be upgraded to a Stingray A-1 with outer space combat capabilities.
At present, Celestial Trade trained a total of 20 Stingray series spacecraft pilots, all of whom received training for the three models. The problem now was choosing one volunteer from the 20 people.
As Kelvin said, there was a high probability that this would be a death flight without a return trip. If the remaining energy at the time of return wasn't enough to accelerate the spacecraft to a position close to the Earth-Moon system, it might be difficult to retrieve the spacecraft with existing technology.
