Description
The red planet is red no longer, as Mars has become a perfectly inhabitable world. But while Mars flourishes, Earth is threatened by overpopulation and ecological disaster.

The ultimate fate of Earth, as well as the possibility of new explorations into the solar system, stand in the balance
