About this listen

Everything we thought we knew about the angry red planet Mars is about to change the Earth forever

An astronaut on a routine space flight is forced to make a decision that saves his crew, but ultimately finds him publicly disgraced by the corporation that built his ship and the politicians they own through lobbyists. Forced out of his rank as the scapegoat for what went wrong on the mission, he makes a fateful decision that brings him to the attention of a reclusive billionaire genius with his own vision and means to fulfill a dream to set foot on Mars.

The expedition is a mission of both scientific curiosity and moral responsibility. As they navigate the perils of deep space, the crew encounters phenomena that challenge their perceptions and ignite questions about existence, faith, and the cosmic order. Their journey is not only outward into the universe but inward—into inner realms of doubt, hope, and moral conviction.

The story takes a compelling turn when a visionary scientist and spiritual leader reaches out with a message that could change everything. His unwavering belief in transparency and the importance of sharing cosmic truths propels the mission into uncharted territory. The crew faces a critical decision: whether to transmit a message of cosmic significance to the universe—an act that could bring unprecedented contact or unleash chaos on Earth.
