August 27th, 2037: just a few hours until the Mars 2038 mission launch! The whole world is excited. Five astronauts were chosen for the first manned flight towards the red planet. The French astronaut keeps a secret log which reveals that Mars 2038 is not the idealized pioneer mission it's been made out to be in the media.
