They have set up their empires of trailblazing innovation and groundbreaking technologies on a somewhat unremarkable planet orbiting around a rather average star. Years of hard work and steadfast dedication to their clear-cut vision of looking beyond the day-to-day toils and chores of human civilization have cemented their reputation as the forefathers of the future humanity. Secretly, they have never ceased dreaming about the thrust of all their entrepreneurial actions and deeds reaching the stars. Now, the time has finally come for them to embark on a second giant leap for humankind, to make the outer reaches of the solar system our home. Only one of them shall go down in history as the first explorer of space and the person who truly forged their will and power according to the bold words: citius, altius, fortius faster, higher, stronger.
