The shuttle, Aether Horizon, lifted off from Earth under a vibrant sunrise, its sleek metal frame cutting through the pale blue sky as passengers peered out of the large windows, their eyes filled with wonder. It was an ordinary journey for most an escape from the grind of daily life to the icy peaks of Pluto's ski resorts, far away from the bustling cities below.
