Tenses: Present Tense
Think that this man has done an excellent job of getting ready. His makeshift starship is prepared to go at any time. He built it by following plans he found on the internet. He has been developing a plan for this over the past few months. At last, a way has been found to leave this barren planet and all the responsibilities that come with it to start a new life in the stars.
