In the dimly lit corridors of NASA's Mission Control, the announcement was electric. NASA and SpaceX will land on the moon in 2024! The room erupted in cheers, but far beyond Earth's atmosphere, someone else was listening—a man who had already ventured far beyond lunar realms.
Crack-a-Jack DAX, a legend among spacefarers, stood aboard his starship, the RED Dragon, with a confident grin. His band of adventurers, known as the Demon Maniacs, buzzed with energy around him. They had already achieved the impossible, traveling past Mars and saving galaxies from impending doom.
DAX leaned back in his chair, watching a live feed of the announcement. Ah, NASA and SpaceX are finally getting there, he mused aloud. But we've got bigger fish to fry, right, team?
His crew chuckled, nodding in agreement. Theirs was a journey of epic proportions, and the moon was just a small dot in their rearview mirror.
But before he could immerse himself back into their universe-saving mission, a call came through. The face of none other than Elon Musk appeared on the screen.
Crack-a-Jack DAX, is that you? Elon asked with a smirk.
Elon! DAX replied, his voice full of amusement. Still hanging around the moon, I see.
Elon chuckled. We've got some plans in the works. But I've heard whispers that you've been a bit... busy?
DAX nodded. Oh, you know, saving the universe one star at a time. No big deal. How's Earth treating you?
It's a bit dull without all the intergalactic adventures you seem to be having, Elon admitted, a twinkle in his eye.
Well, just remember, while you're there trying to land on the moon, we're out here making sure the universe is still around for you to explore.
Elon laughed. Thanks for that, DAX. It's not every day that the Artemis program and SpaceX get to work with someone special like you.
DAX grinned, ending the call with a wave. The RED Dragon shot off into the stars, leaving behind only a trail of stardust as proof of its journey.
The universe awaited, and Crack-a-Jack DAX and his Demon Maniacs were ready to meet its challenges head-on.
