The great departure

Exiting the control room, really narrow for the six of them, Keith approached the 'Rocket assembler' to check if it has been preserved from the intense heat. Apart from a few metal parts closest to the launching pad being all hot and glowing red, it seemed like the overall structure held on pretty during the launch.

However, if critical damage there was, Keith would not be able see it from the exterior. The robot was mostly composed of various electronic parts and other cables so it could reproduce the movements registered inside its computer by the Spacol members.

Since the rest of the build was made out of metal, really heat condusing, he could not really be sure the 'Rocket assembler' was in good condition until he tested it. First things first, he went onto its main computer and checked whether it was still running or not. Reassured, he ordered another rocket to be build immediately.
