retro-futuristic scene of a rocket ship blasting off from a futuristic launchpad during the day, with bright neon blue and pink exhaust trails illuminating the sky as the rocket ascends. The lighting is bright and optimistic, with pastel hues of pink, blue, and purple in the sky and reflecting off the sleek, high-tech buildings surrounding the launchpad. In the foreground, a group of engineers in futuristic work uniforms and gear stand at ground level, watching the rocket take off. Their outfits feature glowing accents, visors, and digital devices, showing their involvement in the launch process. Some are pointing or holding tablets, while others stand in awe, looking upward. The scene should have a pixelated, 1980s or 1990s video game art style, with vibrant neon colors and soft lighting, capturing both the excitement and the technical precision of a rocket launch in a bright, futuristic world.
