In a not-so-distant future, humanity has reached new heights with a globally funded space exploration mission; named ‘IRIS’ [International Research In Space]. The mission's objective is to ensure the survival of Earth's future by expanding knowledge of the cosmos and preparing humanity's next home for the emigration of her surviving inhabitants after sweeping disease renders Earth inhospitable to continued life. As they journey deeper into uncharted territory, the crew faces countless challenges and discoveries, forming deep bonds as they traverse the cosmos. They encounter breathtakingly beautiful celestial wonders and alien worlds beyond imagination, but they also experience the harsh realities of space exploration, and there is no backup coming.
