Space, the vast uncharted expanse, was no longer the final frontier for humanity. The idea of journeying through the great unknown wasn’t a matter of wonder but necessity.

The space station, hanging in the delicate balance between Earth and the moon, served as the primary launch point for missions beyond our solar system. From here, space wasn't just a dark void, but a shimmering tapestry of possibility.
The Endurance was a marvel of engineering. Equipped with the latest in propulsion technology, it was the fruit of decades of cooperation among nations. Politics and borders ceased to matter when survival was on the line. It was a lesson hard-learned, with Earth’s scars bearing testimony to the follies of the past.
