User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/Manned Mission to Mars - 2080

The Manned Mission to Mars, or the MMM Project, was the first manned mission intent on colonizing Mars in 2080. Ten years previous, many of the Nation Groups had worked together to send multiple unmanned spacecraft towards Mars, containing vital pieces of equipment that would be later used for the MMM Project. Out of three other space vessels, the Icarus I was the vessel chosen to transport the astronauts and colonists from the International Space Station in orbit of Earth to the pre-determined site to colonize Mars. Initially, a thousand colonists volunteered but after a rigeous selection process that number was dropped to ninety three highly trained specialists. The colonists were to be suspended in Cryo-Pods, the predeccessor to the more advanced Cryo-chamber that was developed later, while a skeleton crew of fifteen astronauts piloted and mantained the Icarus I.
