THE U.S.S. ENVIRONMENT: Remnant of Humanity’s Hope
In the year 2061, President Andrea Larsen, freshly inaugurated, is confronted with a chilling revelation - a recently discovered asteroid hurtling toward Earth, destined to strike in December 2068, bringing the looming threat of mass extinction. Amidst this apocalyptic shadow, President Larsen’s maternal instincts kick in, igniting a daring quest to ensure the survival of her very young adopted son, Hayden. Her resolve triggers a complex political endeavor, one that sets the wheels in motion for the grandest of undertakings: the construction of a spaceship, the U.S.S. Environment, designed to carry Hayden and a select crew of diverse, promising young individuals on a journey to a distant, habitable exoplanet, a staggering 4.2 trillion light-years away.
But with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, questions loom large. Who will earn their place on this vessel of salvation? How will the selection process unfold, and can a ship of such monumental scale and complexity be constructed in the midst of the turbulence and upheaval that defines the tumultuous era of the 2060s?
A brutal truth underscores this grand endeavor - Earth stands as the solitary haven in our solar system, blessed with the life-sustaining essentials of water and oxygen.
