The year is 2071. Mars has come a long way since the first MS-4 mission landed on the Martian surface back on August 26, 2033. What was once a small outpost on a desolate planet, has become a thriving home to more than one hundred thousand Martian residents. Our neighboring planet is now a spaceport for a continuous flow of supplies, equipment, and human resources. Not just anyone comes to Mars. The United Space Program only encourages the best people in the fields that will help Mars to become a second home. The excitement on Mars comes with a price that the USP did not consider.
