10 years later

The company has now gotten very big or I'd say HUGE. We've reached 90% of people on this planet. Yes, 90% of the people use our products. We've almost succeeded but I still have to do something.

--a few hours earlier--

"Hey!" Ash says as she walks in. "What are you doing?"

"I'm working on this" I say while showing my laptop with all the codes typed on it.

"Oh.... Can I ask you a question?"

"Yes"

"Have you thought about space exploration?"

My eyes widen and I stop thinking for a second.

"Why are you asking me this??" I ask.

"I mean, we've technically worked on everything but rockets and spaceships to make them eco-friendly, right?"

"Yes."

"Then shouldn't we work on rockets and spaceships too?"

"But that's expensive. I don't know if we will be able to work on it or not."

"Yes, but we could try," she insists.

"Yeah, but there's a very high chance of failure," I say. 

"It doesn't matter. We need to try and make space exploration not just run on fuel."

"You're right...." I say thinking about it.

"So, when can we start working on it?"

"We'll start as soon as we have the basic idea."

Ash leaves with excitement.

I think to myself, it's a good idea. A very good one indeed.

--Back to present time--

I lay on my bed and brainstorm about how I can make rockets and spaceships that use less fuel. Soon, I fell asleep.

The next day, I woke up and called for a meeting at my office. 

"Good morning everyone! Today we're going to discuss 'rockets.'" I say.

Ash looks at me and smiles.

"Does anyone know anything about rockets or spaceships?" I ask.

"Yes" few people say.

Soon, after an hour of discussing eco-friendly spaceships and rockets, we come to the conclusion that solar rockets and spaceships are the most realistic. They can work pretty well but we would need a HUGE group of solar panels spread out on the exterior of the rocket or spaceship. Most of them would fall apart when we take off.

"What if we find a way to collect the solar energy and store it, or if we find a way to create it?" says Kyle.

"That could actually work." Ash replies. "We should start working on it right now" she says looking at me.

I nod. Using renewable sources of energy that won't produce pollution definitely is the fastest way to reduce these climatic changes.
