The ISS has become a symbol of progress and a gateway to new horizons of space exploration. It was the platform from which ambitious manned missions to the Moon, Mars and even Venus were launched, laying the foundation for a new era of human space exploration.

These expeditions not only pushed humanity's boundaries in space, but also inspired new generations of scientific discovery and technological advancement. The brilliant achievements aboard the station captured the imagination of young minds, instilling in them a passion for space exploration and a desire to reach new heights in the fields of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

Education programs and initiatives have been designed to engage and inspire students to take an interest in space science. Astronauts and scientists who have visited the station shared their stories and ideas, encouraging young people to dream of new discoveries and strive for excellence in their work.

With humanity's gaze fixed on the stars, the International Space Station was a symbol of hope and a magnificent testament that our future has no limits in the vast Universe. It was a reminder that despite the challenges and uncertainties of the future, humanity's quest for knowledge and exploration will relentlessly propel us forward, pushing the boundaries of what we thought was impossible.

And now that you are ready to embark on a new chapter, the pages ahead will tell of the exciting adventures and great discoveries conjured up against the backdrop of this great endeavour.

CHAPTER 2

THE SCARLET DAWN: HOW HUMANITY CAME TO AN ALIEN PLANET

In the year 2175, mankind made great strides in the exploration and settlement of space. One of the outstanding achievements was the successful colonisation of the Moon, turning the formerly distant celestial body into a centre of scientific research and human activity.

This ambitious project began with the idea of extending the boundaries of human civilisation beyond Earth. Planning, technological advances and international co-operation over many years were necessary to bring it to fruition. The first stage was the establishment of a lunar base, which became the starting point for further exploration and settlement.
