One day, I was working normally at NASA when something really strange happened. The machine we sent to Mars discovered some ice and bacteria, which told us that Mars could still be a livable place. They chose 20 people to be sent to Mars and help make it more habitable. I wanted to check the list, and I was shocked to see my name on it.

They took me to the testing facility, and my test went well. After a few weeks, we were launched to Mars. It was a long trip, and when we arrived, I realized they were sending many small rockets filled with air tanks and food, which was good. However, we couldn't find a way to create a breathable atmosphere, so we had to turn back after a year. The gravity on Mars was lighter, which felt great, but it was hard to leave. Now, we are working on creating a digital atmosphere. Maybe living on Mars isn’t possible—for now.
