Mission Earth
Historical writings documented that around the year of 2035, Earth had become grossly overpopulated and over-resourced. Its once fertile grounds were about to become unable to produce enough food to support the ever-growing population and their greedy consumer habits. Therefore, the very survival of the human race depended on a select few finding a way to guarantee their species future existence. After every conceivable idea came and went, they decided on a revolutionary if not controversial decision – send a crew to Mars to establish a new human colony.
To that end, twenty-five multi-national governmental agencies united to form an organization known as the “Interplanetary Research Federation.” And though the IRF was finally successful in sending a group of multi-national hand selected people to Mars, that intrepid crew would lose contact with their home planet shortly after their departure. It wasn’t until close to 300 years later that the now vigorous colony was capable of sending back a crew of their own. Unfortunately, the planet their ancestors left, was not the planet they would return to.
