The year is 2027. The world has become calm and committed through global policies made better through successful and responsible leadership. Even the most once-ardent skeptics acclaimed the shared cooperation among super powers and newly reinforced industrializing nations. Under the dome of science and space exploration, the Theta Space Station Program, a six-nation partnership whose proposals and clandestine origins dates back to 2009, has been totally non-confrontational and successful beyond expectations. In High Earth Orbit, 1,461 miles above the Earth, the massive Theta Space Station&rsquo,s structure and infrastructure has been assembled to an 80% completion through the multi-national, well-trained military and civilian astronauts who inhabited Theta I and Theta II. The nine qualified astronauts in Theta III are to complete the space station&rsquo,s infrastructure for Theta IV&rsquo,s extended, extraordinary, life-sustaining five-year mission on schedule for launch in 2029. Theta III&rsquo,s launch and supervision by the finest and most knowledgeable scientists and technicians on the planet is without peer. What could possibly go wrong?_,
