Mars

**Mars** is the fourth planet and the furthest terrestrial planet from the Sun. The reddish color of its surface is due to finely grained iron(III) oxide dust in the soil, giving it the nickname "the Red Planet". Mars's radius is second smallest among the planets in the Solar System at 3,389.5 km (2,106 mi). The Martian dichotomy is visible on the surface: on average, the terrain on Mars's northern hemisphere is flatter and lower than its southern hemisphere. Mars has a thin atmosphere made primarily of carbon dioxide and two irregularly shaped natural satellites: Phobos and Deimos.

Geologically, Mars is fairly active, with dust devils sweeping across the landscape and marsquakes (Martian analog to earthquakes) trembling underneath the ground. The surface of Mars hosts a large shield volcano (Olympus Mons) and one of the largest canyons in the Solar System (Valles Marineris). Mars's significant orbital eccentricity and axial tilt cause large seasonal changes to the polar ice caps' coverage and temperature swings between −110 °C (−166 °F) to 35 °C (95 °F) on the surface. A Martian solar day (sol) is equal to 24.5 hours and a Martian solar year is equal to 1.88 Earth years.

Like the other planets in the Solar System, Mars was formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago. During the Noachian period from about 4.1 to 3.7 billion years ago, Mars's surface was marked by meteor impacts, valley formation, erosion, and the possible presence of water oceans. The Hesperian period from 3.7 to 3.2–2 billion years ago was dominated by widespread volcanic activity and flooding that carved immense outflow channels. The Amazonian period, which continues to the present, was marked by the wind's influence on geological processes. It is unknown whether life has ever existed on Mars.

Mars is among the brightest objects in Earth's sky, and thus has been known from the ancient times. Its high-contrast albedo features make it a common subject for viewing with a telescope. Since the late 20th century, Mars has been explored by uncrewed spacecraft and rovers, with the first flyby by the *Mariner 4* probe in 1965, the first Mars orbiter by the *Mars 2* probe in 1971, and the first landing by *Viking 1* in 1976. As of 2023, there are at least 11 active probes orbiting Mars or at the Martian surface. Currently, Mars is an attractive target for the first future interplanetary human missions.

Mars is the fourth planet of the solar system. The planet is the third most populous world in the solar system, behind Earth's Moon and Venus.

It is also home of the *Free Martian Republic*.

## History of manned exploration

In the 2020s and 2030s, private companies exploited the planet for its habitability. And rapidly grew in to be a home to more than 2 1/2 million humans in the 2110s. The planet was a major battlefront during the Belt Wars from 2114 until 2121.

## Human establishments and settlements

1. Lowell City (Martian capital city)
2. Charles Brubaker Mars Outpost (home of the Capricorns Baseball team)
3. Barsoom (Martian province)
Blue Pilgrim

**Blue Gemini** was a United States Air Force (USAF) project first proposed in August 1962 for a series of seven flights of Gemini spacecraft to enable the Air Force to gain crewed spaceflight experience prior to the launch of the Manned Orbital Development System, or MODS. The plan was to use off-the-shelf Gemini spacecraft.
William Winslow

**William Wallace Winslow** (June 30, 1908-September 17, 1978, aged 70) was an American business magnate, investor, author, pilot, engineer, philanthropist, known for his pioneering efforts in the American film industry, aviation industry, and establishing the Church of the Eight-Pointed Star in 1970.

## Biography

Not much is known about William Winslow's birth and early childhood, this may be due to the fact that his records were burned along with his parents in a fire when he was a young boy. Conspicuously, no pictures exist of William Winslow before he turned thirty in 1938. His mass accumulation of wealth seemed to occur shortly after employment as a newspaper delivery boy and a chance encounter with a Wall Street banker that recruited him into their lucrative empire. Winslow's financial decisions throughout World War II ultimately helped the U.S. armed forces in its manufacturing of resources and materiel. By 1945, Winslow had set out to transform several companies into premiere military contractors within the aviation field where he founded Winslow Aircraft Company. As World War II winded down in 1947, WAC were consulted for a recovery operation in the desert of Southern Arizona, according to recently declassified documentation. He supported the presidential run of New York governor Thomas Dewey who had ultimately narrowly defeated incumbent U.S. President Henry A. Wallace. Under President Dewey, WAC expanded its operations to include construction of army and naval assets. He was a primary lobbyist for a burgeoning American space effort headed by a military branch of the U.S. government. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Winslow Aviation continued its participation in the space program for the U.S. military. In the 1970s, Winslow resigned his participation at Winslow Aviation to explore more esoteric concepts and authored a novel that inspired the foundation of the Church of the Eight-Pointed Star, which is considered by many to be a space-related high demand religion. He disappeared under mysterious circumstances while flying his coveted Cypress Tigress in 1978, he was declared legally dead in 1998.

## Eyes Only Information

William Winslow is a time traveler from the possible future of the 2060s, the transit in time fundamentally altered not only this timeline but the potential reality of the traveler in question. Winslow used foreknowledge of the future to enrich himself and mold the timeline to suit his dreams of a more idealized past.

## Basis

He is based on aspects of several influential figures in American society: Howard Hughes, Walt Disney, and L. Ron Hubbard. He is also based on Jules Verne's Captain Nemo, Robert A. Heinlein's Delos D. Harriman and the Illuminatus! Trilogy's Hagbard Celine.
Casaan Charter

The **Casaan Charter** is the foundational treaty between the nations of Earth and the Casaan Archonate.

The agreement between the nations of Earth and the Casaan Archonate centered on the idea that Earth would retain its full sovereignty under the benevolent protection of the Casaan Archonate under the condition of providing military assistance and materiel in space-based conflicts.

The **Charter of the United Nations** (UN) is the foundational treaty of the United Nations, an intergovernmental organization. It establishes the purposes, governing structure, and overall framework of the UN system, including its six principal organs: the Secretariat, the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the International Court of Justice, and the Trusteeship Council.

The UN Charter mandates the UN and its member states to maintain international peace and security, uphold international law, achieve "higher standards of living" for their citizens, address "economic, social, health, and related problems", and promote "universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion". As a charter and constituent treaty, its rules and obligations are binding on all members and supersede those of other treaties.

During the Second World War, the Allies—formally known as the United Nations—agreed to establish a new postwar international organization. Pursuant to this goal, the UN Charter was discussed, prepared, and drafted during the San Francisco Conference that began 25 April 1945, which involved most of the world's sovereign nations. Following two-thirds approval of each part, the final text was unanimously adopted by delegates and opened for signature on 26 June 1945; it was signed in San Francisco, United States, by 50 of the 51 original member countries.

The Charter entered into force on 24 October 1945, following ratification by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States—and a majority of the other signatories; this is considered the official starting date of the United Nations, with the first session of the General Assembly, representing all 51 initial members, opening in London the following January. The General Assembly formally recognized 24 October as United Nations Day in 1947, and declared it an official international holiday in 1971. With 193 parties, most countries have now ratified the Charter.
Russian Terror (genre)

террор (Russian, lit. 'Terror') is a Russian term that is commonly associated with media involving quiet horror. A subgenre of horror, it was created in the aftermath of the Allied atomic bombings of the western flank of the former Soviet Union. The term can also refer to entities that appear in this genre themselves, which are usually depicted as terrorizing ordinary people.

The first Russian Terror film is generally regarded as the 1955 film *Baba Yaga. террор* characters are often somewhat metaphorical in nature; Baba Yaga, for example, serves as a metaphor for the aftermath of nuclear weapons, reflecting the fears of post-war Russia following the atomic bombings of several cities on the western front. Other notable examples of *террор* characters include The Entity, The Stranger, and The Nightwatcher.
London

**London** is the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom, with a population of around 8.8 million. It stands on the River Thames in south-east England at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) estuary down to the North Sea and has been a major settlement for nearly two millennia. The City of London, its ancient core and financial centre, was founded by the Romans as *Londinium* and retains its medieval boundaries. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has for centuries hosted the national government and parliament. Since the 19th century, the name "London" also refers to the metropolis around this core, historically split among the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent, and Hertfordshire, which since 1965 has largely comprised Greater London, which is governed by 33 local authorities and the Greater London Authority.

As one of the world's major global cities, London exerts a strong influence on world art, entertainment, fashion, commerce and finance, education, health care, media, science and technology, tourism, transport, and communications. Its GDP of €801.66 billion in 2017 makes it the largest urban economy in Europe, and it is one of the major financial centres in the world. With Europe's largest concentration of higher education institutions, it is home to some of the highest-ranked academic institutions in the world—Imperial College London in natural and applied sciences, the London School of Economics in social sciences, and the comprehensive University College London. London is the most visited city in Europe and has the busiest city airport system in the world. The London Underground is the oldest rapid transit system in the world.

London's diverse cultures encompass over 300 languages. The 2023 population of Greater London of just under 10 million made it Europe's third-most populous city, accounting for 13.4% of the population of the United Kingdom and over 16% of the population of England. The Greater London Built-up Area is the fourth-most populous in Europe, with about 9.8 million inhabitants at the 2011 census. The London metropolitan area is the third-most populous in Europe, with about 14 million inhabitants in 2016, granting London the status of a megacity.

London has four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the combined Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and also the historic settlement in Greenwich, where the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, defines the prime meridian (0° longitude) and Greenwich Mean Time. Other landmarks include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, and Trafalgar Square. London has many museums, galleries, libraries, and cultural venues, including the British Museum, National Gallery, Natural History Museum, Tate Modern, British Library, and numerous West End theatres. Important sporting events held in London include the FA Cup Final, the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, and the London Marathon. In 2012, London became the first city to host three Summer Olympic Games.

The New York Tribune

***The New York Times*** (***NYT***) is an American daily newspaper based in New York City, with a worldwide reported readership of 9.41 million digital-only subscribers and 670,000 print subscribers as of 2023.

The newspaper was founded in 1851 as the *New-York Daily Times*. It is published by The New York Times Company and has won 132 Pulitzer Prizes, the most of any newspaper, and has long been regarded as a national newspaper of record. For print, it is ranked 17th in the world by circulation and 3rd in the United States. The newspaper is headquartered at The New York Times Building near Times Square, Manhattan.

The New York Times Company, which is publicly traded, has been governed by the Sulzberger family since 1896, through a dual-class share structure. A. G. Sulzberger, the paper's publisher and the company's chairman, is the fifth generation of the family to head the paper.

Since the mid-1970s, *The New York Times* has expanded its layout and organization, adding special weekly sections on various topics supplementing the regular news, editorials, sports, and features. The institution's emphasis remains on global and U.S. hard news coverage. Since 2008, the *Times* has been organized into the following sections: News, Editorials/Opinions-Columns/Op-Ed, New York (metropolitan), Business, Arts, Science, Styles, Home, Travel, and other features. On Sundays, the *Times* is supplemented by the *Sunday Review* (formerly the *Week in Review*), *The New York Times Book Review*, *The New York Times Magazine*, and *T: The New York Times Style Magazine*.
Purple Earth hypothesis

The **Purple Earth hypothesis** is an astrobiological hypothesis first proposed by molecular biologist Shiladitya DasSarma in 2007, that the earliest photosynthetic life forms of Early Earth were based on the simpler molecule retinal rather than the more complex porphyrin-based chlorophyll, making the surface biosphere appear purplish rather its current greenish color. The time would date somewhere between 3.5 to 2.4 billion years ago, prior to the Great Oxygenation Event and Huronian glaciation.

Retinal-containing cell membrane exhibits a single light absorption peak centered in the energy-rich green-yellow region of the visible spectrum, but transmit and reflects red and blue light, resulting in a magenta color. Chlorophyll pigments, in contrast, absorb red and blue light, but little or no green light, which results in the characteristic green color of plants, green algae, cyanobacteria and other organisms with chlorophyllic organelles. The simplicity of retinal pigments in comparison to the more complex chlorophyll, their association with isoprenoid lipids in the cell membrane, as well as the discovery of archaeal membrane components in ancient sediments on the Early Earth are consistent with an early appearance of life forms with purple membrane prior to the turquoise of the Canfield ocean and later green photosynthetic organisms.[*citation needed*]
Herschel Station

**Herschel Station** is a formerly abandoned space station located above the clouds of the planet Uranus. It has since become a pirate stronghold. When the Gauthier Drive was discovered, all attempts at tapping Uranus' or Neptune's fuel resources dried up.

## Trivia

Herschel Station is based on the pirate stronghold of yesteryear, the island of Tortuga.
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

The **Union of Soviet Socialist Republics** abbreviated to **USSR** or **the Soviet Union** is a constitutionally socialist nation which was founded in 1922, it is ruled under the Russian Democratic Socialist Party, a successor of the Soviet Communist Party. It is a union of 15 sub-national Soviet Republics and several space Soviets and orbital autonomous socialist zones. In practice, the Soviet Union was highly centralized until recent reforms which have slowed altered the nation into something more akin to the Nordic democracies of Scandinavia. The largest ethnic group, the Russians, have political, cultural and economic control over the Union. However, an increasing amount of ethnic minorities are seeking greater say in their republics. The Soviet Union is the largest nation by area and the fourth largest by population.
The Pentagon

**The Pentagon** is the headquarters building of the United States Department of Defense, in Arlington County, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. It was constructed on an accelerated schedule during World War II. As a symbol of the U.S. military, the phrase *The Pentagon* is often used as a metonym for the Department of Defense and its leadership.

The building was designed by American architect George Bergstrom and built by contractor John McShain. Ground was broken on 11 September 1941, and the building was dedicated on 15 January 1943. General Brehon Somervell provided the major impetus to gain Congressional approval for the project; Colonel Leslie Groves was responsible for overseeing the project for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which supervised it.

The Pentagon is the world's second largest office building, with about 6.5 million square feet (600,000 m2) of floor space, of which 3.7 million square feet (340,000 m2) are used as offices. It has five sides, five floors above ground, two basement levels, and five ring corridors per floor with a total of 17.5 mi (28.2 km) of corridors, with a central five-acre (2.0 ha) pentagonal plaza. About 23,000 military and civilian employees work in the Pentagon, as well as about 3,000 non-defense support personnel.

In 2001, the Pentagon was damaged during the September 11 attacks. Five al-Qaeda hijackers flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the western side of the building, killing themselves and 184 other people: 59 on the airplane and 125 in the Pentagon. It was the first significant foreign attack on federal facilities in the capital area since the burning of Washington during the War of 1812.[*citation needed*] Following the attacks, the western side of the building was repaired, with a small indoor memorial and chapel added at the point of impact. An outdoor memorial dedicated to the Pentagon victims of 9/11 opened in 2008.

## Biography

He was born in rural Oklahoma in 1931. He was a veteran of Operation Downfall, the Allied invasion of Japan, at age 16. After the disappearance of William Winslow in 1978, Anson Henry became CEO of Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems (which he served from 1970s until his death in 1996) as well as acquiring Winslow Aviation.

## Basis

He is based on elements of Philip Bono, Robert A. Heinlein and mostly Ross Perot.
Xibalba Nebula

**Xibalba Nebula** is a

The **Orion Nebula** (also known as **Messier 42**, **M42**, or **NGC 1976**) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion,  and is known as the middle "star" in the "sword" of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky with apparent magnitude 4.0. It is 1,344 ± 20 light-years (412.1 ± 6.1 pc) away and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light-years across (so its apparent size from Earth is approximately 1 degree). It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the **Great Nebula** in Orion or the **Great Orion Nebula**.

The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks and brown dwarfs within the nebula, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula.

## Belter ethnic group

The Main Belt asteroids have been exploited for their materials since the middle of the 21st century. Many whom chose a life of labor, hard work, and self-reliance, eventually found themselves here. In the decades that followed, the residents in the Belt began to take on their own cultural identity and a desire to be free of the "oppressive" first world nations of the GOC.

Sweden

**Sweden**, formally the **Kingdom of Sweden**, is a Nordic country located on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. It borders Norway to the west and north, Finland to the east, and is connected to Denmark in the southwest by a bridge–tunnel across the Øresund.

At 450,295 square kilometres (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the largest Nordic country and the fifth-largest country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Stockholm. Sweden has a population of 10.5 million, and a low population density of 25.5 inhabitants per square kilometre (66/sq mi), with around 87% of Swedes residing in urban areas, which cover 1.5% of the entire land area, in the central and southern half of the country. Nature in Sweden is dominated by forests and many lakes, including some of the largest in Europe. Many long rivers run from the Scandes range, primarily emptying into the northern tributaries of the Baltic Sea. It has an extensive coastline and most of the population lives near a major body of water. With the country ranging from 55°N to 69°N, the climate of Sweden is diverse due to the length of the country.

Germanic peoples have inhabited Sweden since prehistoric times, emerging into history as the Geats (Swedish: *Götar*) and Swedes (*Svear*) and constituting the sea peoples known as the Norsemen. An independent Swedish state emerged during the early 12th century. After the Black Death in the middle of the 14th century killed about a third of the Scandinavian population, the dominance of the Hanseatic League in Northern Europe threatened Scandinavia economically and politically. This led to the formation of the Scandinavian Kalmar Union in 1397, which Sweden left in 1523. When Sweden became involved in the Thirty Years' War on the Protestant side, an expansion of its territories began, forming the Swedish Empire, which remained one of the great powers of Europe until the early 18th century.

Sweden is a highly developed country ranked seventh in the Human Development Index, it is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy, with legislative power vested in the 349-member unicameral *Riksdag*. It is a unitary state, divided into 21 counties and 290 municipalities. Sweden maintains a Nordic social welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens. It has the world's 14th highest GDP per capita and ranks very highly in quality of life, health, education, protection of civil liberties, economic competitiveness, income equality, gender equality and prosperity. Sweden joined the European Union on 1 January 1995 but rejected Eurozone membership following a referendum. It is also a member of the United Nations, the Nordic Council, the Schengen Area, the Council of Europe, the World Trade Organization and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Titan

**Titan** is the largest moon of Saturn, the second-largest in the Solar System and larger than any of the dwarf planets of the Solar System. It is the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere, and is the only known object in space other than Earth on which clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found.

Titan is one of the seven gravitationally rounded moons in orbit around Saturn, and the second most distant from Saturn of those seven. Frequently described as a planet-like moon, Titan is 50% larger (in diameter) than Earth's Moon and 80% more massive. It is the second-largest moon in the Solar System after Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and is larger than the planet Mercury, but only 40% as massive.

Discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, Titan was the first known moon of Saturn, and the sixth known planetary satellite (after Earth's moon and the four Galilean moons of Jupiter). Titan orbits Saturn at 20 Saturn radii. From Titan's surface, Saturn subtends an arc of 5.09 degrees, and if it were visible through the moon's thick atmosphere, it would appear 11.4 times larger in the sky, in diameter, than the Moon from Earth, which subtends 0.48° of arc.

Titan is primarily composed of ice and rocky material, which is likely differentiated into a rocky core surrounded by various layers of ice, including a crust of ice Ih and a subsurface layer of ammonia-rich liquid water. Much as with Venus before the Space Age, the dense opaque atmosphere prevented understanding of Titan's surface until the *Cassini–Huygens* mission in 2004 provided new information, including the discovery of liquid hydrocarbon lakes in Titan's polar regions. The geologically young surface is generally smooth, with few impact craters, although mountains and several possible cryovolcanoes have been found.

The atmosphere of Titan is largely nitrogen; minor components lead to the formation of methane and ethane clouds and heavy organonitrogen haze. The climate—including wind and rain—creates surface features similar to those of Earth, such as dunes, rivers, lakes, seas (probably of liquid methane and ethane), and deltas, and is dominated by seasonal weather patterns as on Earth. With its liquids (both surface and subsurface) and robust nitrogen atmosphere, Titan's methane cycle bears a striking similarity to Earth's water cycle, albeit at the much lower temperature of about 94 K (−179 °C; −290 °F). Due to these factors, Titan has been described as the most Earth-like celestial object in the Solar System.

Zubrin identified Titan as possessing an abundance of all the elements necessary to support life, making Titan perhaps the most advantageous locale in the outer Solar System for colonization. He said, "In certain ways, Titan is the most hospitable extraterrestrial world within the Solar System for human colonization." A widely published expert on terraforming, Christopher McKay, is also a co-investigator on the *Huygens* probe that landed on Titan in January 2005.
United States Fifth Fleet

The **United States Fifth Fleet** is a numbered fleet of the United States Navy. It has been responsible for naval forces in the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and parts of the Indian Ocean since 1995 after a 48-year hiatus. It shares a commander and headquarters with U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (*NAVCENT*) in Bahrain. Fifth Fleet/NAVCENT is a component command of, and reports to, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).

By 2024, the U.S. Navy has renumbered its fleets with the Fifth Fleet becoming its premier space fleet.
Ultima Thule

**Ultima Thule** is the name of a rogue planet located at the edge of the Heliopause of the Solar System. The object was discovered in the early 2000s and its properties suggested that it was a brown dwarf but these properties have since become disputed.

the farthest point; the limit of any journey. 3. the point believed by the ancients to be farthest north. Also called: Thule.
Operation Fire Control

The **South African Conflict** was an armed conflict between the remnants of the fascist South African leadership and its allies and a multi-national coalition led by the United States. It all began when the world nuclear disarmament talks began in the late 1980s and the authoritarian leadership of South Africa seeking to unilaterally develop their own nuclear weapons to defend themselves from anti-white nation-states on the African continent. The coalition's efforts against South Africa were carried out in two key phases: **Operation Fire Control,** which marked the military buildup from 1992 to 1993; and **Operation Fire Extinguisher,** which began with the aerial bombing campaign against South Africa in 1994 and came to a close with the American-led Liberation of South Africa later that Spring. With the end of the fascist Apartheid policy, South Africa was able to hold free and fair elections with its Black majority population for the first time.
Benson UFO Incident

The **Benson UFO incident** is a 1949 conspiracy theory that emerged after a newspaper article regarding a supposed crashed flying disk and the remains of its occupants, as well as, a subsequent cover-up to the hide the truth of the event. The event occured in July 1947 just outside of Benson, Arizona.

## Basis

This event is a counterpart to the real-life alleged UFO incident in Roswell, New Mexico that occurred in 1947 as well.
Moon Treaty

The **Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies**, better known as the **Moon Treaty** or **Moon Agreement**, is a multilateral treaty that turns jurisdiction of all celestial bodies (including the orbits around such bodies) over to the participant countries. Thus, all activities would conform to international law, including the United Nations Charter.

It has not been ratified by any state that engages in self-launched human spaceflight (e.g. the United States, Russia (or its predecessor the Soviet Union), or the People's Republic of China) since its creation on December 18, 1979, and thus it has little to no relevancy in international law. As of January 2022, 18 states are parties to the treaty.
Star-Raker

**Star-Raker** is a giant HTHL SSTO spaceplane purposed by Rockwell International to create a network of solar power satellites. Early studies by Rockwell indicated that a Horizontal Takeoff, Horizontal Landing (HTHL) single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spacecraft was not possible and a HTHL two-stage-to-orbit (TSTO) design was better, but changed their minds by the late 1970s with new materials and the "wet wing" design. Star-raker was said to have carried double the payload of the Boeing Reusable Aerodynamic Space Vehicle concept for a HTHL SSTO spacecraft.
Europa

**Europa** /jʊˈroʊpə/ (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/Loudspeaker.svg/11px-Loudspeaker.svg.pnglisten), or **Jupiter II**, is the smallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, and the sixth-closest to the planet of all the 95 known moons of Jupiter. It is also the sixth-largest moon in the Solar System. Europa was discovered independently by Simon Marius and Galileo Galilei and was named (by Marius) after Europa, the Phoenician mother of King Minos of Crete and lover of Zeus (the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter).

Slightly smaller than Earth's Moon, Europa is made of silicate rock and has a water-ice crust and probably an iron–nickel core. It has a very thin atmosphere, composed primarily of oxygen. Its white-beige surface is striated by light tan cracks and streaks, but craters are relatively few. In addition to Earth-bound telescope observations, Europa has been examined by a succession of space-probe flybys, the first occurring in the early 1970s. In September 2022, the *Juno* spacecraft flew within about 320km (200 miles) of Europa for a more recent close-up view.

Europa has the smoothest surface of any known solid object in the Solar System. The apparent youth and smoothness of the surface have led to the hypothesis that a water ocean exists beneath the surface, which could conceivably harbor extraterrestrial life. The predominant model suggests that heat from tidal flexing causes the ocean to remain liquid and drives ice movement similar to plate tectonics, absorbing chemicals from the surface into the ocean below. Sea salt from a subsurface ocean may be coating some geological features on Europa, suggesting that the ocean is interacting with the sea floor. This may be important in determining whether Europa could be habitable. In addition, the Hubble Space Telescope detected water vapor plumes similar to those observed on Saturn's moon Enceladus, which are thought to be caused by erupting cryogeysers. In May 2018, astronomers provided supporting evidence of water plume activity on Europa, based on an updated analysis of data obtained from the *Galileo* space probe, which orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003. Such plume activity could help researchers in a search for life from the subsurface Europan ocean without having to land on the moon.

The *Galileo* mission, launched in 1989, provides the bulk of current data on Europa. No spacecraft has yet landed on Europa, although there have been several proposed exploration missions. The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE) is a mission to Ganymede launched on April 14, 2023 that will include two flybys of Europa. NASA's Europa Clipper is expected to be launched in October 2024, with a complementary lander possible based on its findings.

	+ **EDS (Extraterrestrial Defense Service)** is an American paramilitary organization founded in the late 21st century as a space defense organization. Though the organization is large, it encompasses seven worlds and each have their own branch of the service. The EDS typically acts as an off-Earth law enforcement and peacekeeping apparatus as opposed to a space military. Though shortly after the Belt War, ANR contracted EDS as their primary defensive force which would be used against the IDC and Sieg Tech. ANR has stated that members of EDS who pledge their allegiance to ANR will be promised property, access to free water and food and full autonomy from the Earth governments with as many friends and family as they would like to join them.

Catalog of Lower Risk Civilizations

The ICUN has many ranks that define an animal's population and risk of extinction. Species are classified into one of nine Red List Categories: Extinct, Extinct in the Wild, Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Near Threatened, Least Concern, Data Deficient, and Not Evaluated. They formerly used a identification called "lower risk" to describe some animals.

The ICUN defines an animal with the conservation status of lower risk is one with populations levels high enough to ensure its survival. Animals with this status do not qualify as being threatened or extinct. However, natural disasters or certain human activities would cause them to change to either of these classifications.

When it was in use, this classification was sub-divided into three types:

* Conservation dependent - where cessation of current conservation measures may result in it being classified at a higher risk level.
* Near threatened - may become vulnerable to endangerment in the near future but not meeting the criteria.
* Least concern - where neither of the two above apply.
Obelisk

The **Utah monolith** is a metal pillar that stood in a red sandstone slot canyon in northern San Juan County, Utah, United States. The pillar is 3 m (9.8 ft) tall and made of metal sheets riveted into a triangular prism. It was unlawfully placed on public land between July and October 2016; it stood unnoticed for over four years until its discovery and removal in late 2020. The identity of its makers is unknown, as are their objectives.

Utah state biologists discovered the monolith in November 2020 during a helicopter survey of wild bighorn sheep. Within days of its discovery, members of the public found the pillar using GPS mapping software and made their way to the remote location. Following intense media coverage, it was covertly removed on November 27, 2020, by four residents of Moab, Utah. After nearly a month in their possession, the monolith was given to the Bureau of Land Management and is currently in their custody.

Following the discovery of the monolith, over two hundred similar metal columns were erected in other places throughout the world, including elsewhere in North America and countries in Europe and South America. Many were built by local artists as deliberate imitations of the Utah monolith.

In Arthur C. Clarke's *Space Odyssey* series, **Monoliths** are machines in black cuboids whose sides extend in the precise ratio of 1 : 4 : 9 (12 : 22 : 32) built by an unseen extraterrestrial species whom Clarke dubbed the Firstborn and who he suggests are the earliest highly intelligent species to evolve in the Milky Way. In the series of novels (and the films based on these), three Monoliths are discovered in the Solar System by australopithecines and their human descendants. The response of the characters to their discovery drives the plot of the series. It also influences the fictional history of the series, particularly by encouraging humanity to progress with technological development.

The first Monolith appears at the beginning of the story, set four million years before the present era. It is discovered by a group of australopithecines and triggers a shift in evolution, starting with the ability to use tools and weaponry. It is later revealed that thousands of other Monoliths exist elsewhere in the galaxy.
Canada

**Canada** is a country in North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and northward into the Arctic Ocean, making it the world's second-largest country by total area, with the world's longest coastline. Its border with the United States is the world's longest international land border. The country is characterized by a wide range of both meteorologic and geological regions. It is a sparsely inhabited country of 40 million people, the vast majority residing south of the 55th parallel in urban areas. Canada's capital is Ottawa and its three largest metropolitan areas are Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.

Indigenous peoples have continuously inhabited what is now Canada for thousands of years. Beginning in the 16th century, British and French expeditions explored and later settled along the Atlantic coast. As a consequence of various armed conflicts, France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom, highlighted by the *Statute of Westminster, 1931*, and culminating in the *Canada Act 1982*, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy in the Westminster tradition. The country's head of government is the prime minister, who holds office by virtue of their ability to command the confidence of the elected House of Commons and is "called upon" by the governor general, representing the monarch of Canada, the head of state. The country is a Commonwealth realm and is officially bilingual (English and French) in the federal jurisdiction. It is very highly ranked in international measurements of government transparency, quality of life, economic competitiveness, innovation, education and gender equality. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration. Canada's long and complex relationship with the United States has had a significant impact on its history, economy, and culture.

A developed country, Canada has a high nominal per capita income globally and its advanced economy ranks among the largest in the world, relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade networks. Canada is recognized as a middle power for its role in international affairs, with a tendency to pursue multilateral solutions. Canada's peacekeeping role during the 20th century has had a significant influence on its global image. Canada is part of multiple major international and intergovernmental institutions.

President of the United States

The **president of the United States** (**POTUS**) is the head of state and head of government of the United States. The president directs the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces.

The power of the presidency has grown substantially since the first president, George Washington, took office in 1789. While presidential power has ebbed and flowed over time, the presidency has played an increasingly significant role in American political life since the beginning of the 20th century, with notable expansion during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In modern times, the president is one of the world's most powerful political figures – the leader of the only remaining global superpower. As the leader of the nation with the largest economy by nominal GDP, the president possesses significant domestic and international hard and soft power.

Article II of the Constitution establishes the executive branch of the federal government and vests executive power in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of federal law and the responsibility to appoint federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory, and judicial officers. Based on constitutional provisions empowering the president to appoint and receive ambassadors and conclude treaties with foreign powers, and on subsequent laws enacted by Congress, the modern presidency has primary responsibility for conducting U.S. foreign policy. The role includes responsibility for directing the world's most expensive military, which has the second largest nuclear arsenal.

The president also plays a leading role in federal legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of separation of powers, Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto federal legislation. Since modern presidents are typically viewed as leaders of their political parties, major policymaking is significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of Congress who are often electorally dependent on the president. In recent decades, presidents have also made increasing use of executive orders, agency regulations, and judicial appointments to shape domestic policy.

The president is elected indirectly through the Electoral College to a four-year term, along with the vice president. Under the Twenty-second Amendment, ratified in 1951, no person who has been elected to two presidential terms may be elected to a third. In addition, nine vice presidents have become president by virtue of a president's intra-term death or resignation. In all, 45 individuals have served 46 presidencies spanning 58 four-year terms. Joe Biden is the 46th and current president of the United States, having assumed office on January 20, 2021.
