Yes, it would take a lot to make, as it's a rocket.

The goal of the game is.. well.. let me explain it for you. I know you know this by now but..

Okay, so you spawn in with a communications Relay (Aka a radio). First you get a few goofy messages and Easter Eggs but then it starts to get a bit serious. (WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO FIND THIS OUT YOURSELF BEFORE THE NEXT BUILDS COME IN, PLEASE DO SO BEFORE READING THIS SECTION.) The Sunbeam locates you and come to rescue you. The gun shoots it down the moment it breaks atmosphere. Suddenly it becomes clear what actually happened to the Aurora. It was shot down by the gun. You explore the base and try to turn off the defense mechanism so either you can leave somehow or something comes again to save you, but it becomes apparent you have the plague that has engulfed the planet, the entire reason the gun was built. This plague doesn't affect YOU, but without the cure you could infect others and kill every planet. Also, since the Gun detects massive energy sources (Such as one a rocket would make), it would blast it down automatically without being disabled. This forces you to continue the story.

Now it's all up to speculation. Some of these are facts but some of this section is just an educated guess.

You're supposed to explore the Precursor bases and learn more and more about this extinct/evacuated species until finally you find out what it would take to cure the planet of this disease, which is very possibly the Sea emperor. You are supposed to cure it and disable the gun, allowing you to leave this planet after building a rocket.

Unless it suddenly reactivates.
