Welcome space cadets!  The year is 2030, and 25 years ago NASA sent a group of 100 men, women, and children to Mars in order to colonize the "Red Planet."  Until now, this mission has been kept a complete secret from the public.  Because the colony has been so successful and is ready to expand, the humans on Mars are ready to share their lives with the rest of the galaxy.  As a result of your creativity and intelligence, you have been selected to join and learn about this very colony.  Your special mission will be to find a way to report all your findings to the rest of Earth.  Remember, this will be the first time that Earthlings will hear about our colony on Mars, so what you say will have a huge impact on their thoughts about life in Outer Space.
