"The first successful launch!" Kohaku looked up at the sky. "Now we can search the Moon for, Why-man right?"
"Not quite." Senku said.
"The first one is a simple yet elegant recon satellite." Xeno explained.
"Oh~ so that was another test run." you slowly nodded. "Only, in space this time."
"Even space demands a patient, step-by-step approach."
"So it appears..." Gen awkwardly smiled. "Imagine the horror if we had begun with manned crafts. All those failures would've led to so many deaths."
"Thankfully, we're not idiots!" you gave him a thumb up.

A while later, you had decent imagines of Japan seen from space. Everyone cheered.
"That's what we look like from space?!" Kohaku leaned closer to the screen. "That's our world!"
"Yeah, look we're right there!" you tapped the screen at you guys' location.
"Actually," Chelsea stepped in. "now we're more over here." she tapped a nearby spot.
"Oh right! Geography changed during those 3,700 years!"
"Do these images tell you much?" Senku asked Chelsea.
"Do they ever!" she stared at the screen with stars in her eyes. "This is freaky stuff!"
"For the space-related efforts to come, we desire a massive labor!" Ryusui smiled.
"Yeah, and creating an accurate, revised globe is the next step in our big plan to revive all seven billion people!" Senku exclaimed. "Ryusui, with his leadership skills, and Chelsea the master geographer are the ultimate tag team!"

Now with the data brought by the satellite, the newest tag team made a map of the new and revises world of the 58th century.
"The 58th?!" Gen exclaimed when he saw the title. "I mean, we knew that... Still, this is wild!"
The world went through a lot of changes during those 3,700 years, some better than others, but none of them were essentially bad. Sure didn't stop you guys from going around the world to revive people and set up cities. And eventually, with the help of everyone around the world, the Kingdom of Science's space telescope was launched into space, pointing towards the Moon. Kohaku, with her 20/20 vision, was assigned to keep an eye on the footage until she spots anything suspicious.
"Don't get me wrong," you said one day when you were hanging out with Suika and Chrome. "I'm happy that we're making progress but..."
"The second that Kohaku spots Why-man," she finished your sentence. "they'll wanna launch the one-way rocket!"
"Yep!" Chrome was focused on his work. "That just means we gotta finish our own mission before then!"
'With how long it took us to launch a satellite, there's no way they could show a finished product before then.' you thought.
But, you smiled.
"Exactly! You both made crazy progress in little time, you'll pull it off for sure!"

Since Kohaku never left her post, food had to be delivered to her. The two of you haven't hanged out in a while, so you took your dinner and hers and you went to bring it to her. Her eyes were glued to the screen the whole time.
"You may have perfect vision, but you're sure to wear glasses if you keep doing this." you joked.
"I have to (Y/n)!" she smiled, not looking away. "This is a mission of the upmost importance for the-" her eyes widen.
Before you could ask her what was wrong (although you knew what), she ripped off the screen from the desk and jumped out the window.
"Senku, Xeno!!!"
"Jesus fuckin' christ Kohaku!" you exclaimed before running out by the front door.

You found her shoving the miraculously still working screen in front of the two men's face.
"Look at this! From what I can tell, there's one spot that changes little by little over time."
Xeno took the screen and put it at arm length so that they could actually see it. Their eyes widen and they both smiled.
"Though I cannot identify this anomaly," he said. "as a NASA scientist, I can confirm that itt is certainly something... truly elegant!"
"We finally found you!" Senku said. "Hello there Why-man!"
You went over to look at it, and felt a chill when you saw this big black spot on the Moon. It didn't look like anything, just a black mass.
'What the fuck *are* you?'
You turned to look at the Moon.
"Weird we really couldn't see it from here..." you mumbled.
'Wait.' your eyes widen. 'But then... Chrome and Suika are too late.' you felt your heart shattering at the thought.
