54.6 million kilometres of void. One shot at history.
The most ambitious human expedition ever attempted.
At ignition, six Raptor engines produce over 7,500 tonnes of thrust, accelerating the crew to escape velocity — 11.2 km/s — punching through the atmosphere in under nine minutes.
Earth is a pale dot. Mars, a faint ember. Nothing else exists.
The crew burns 4× more calories than on Earth due to zero-gravity muscle maintenance protocols.
Cosmic radiation exposure reaches 600 mSv — equivalent to 300 chest X-rays per astronaut.
At maximum separation, a radio signal from Earth takes up to 22 minutes to reach the crew.
After 207 days adrift in darkness, the crew encounters Mars — a rust-coloured world of ancient volcanoes, frozen poles, and the promise of a second cradle for humanity.
Four extraordinary destinations await the first boots on Mars.
"The first footprints on Mars will be the most significant marks
left by human feet since those on the Moon."
