ONE LINE
Earth has 75 years. A strategy game on a real 3D map of our neighbouring stars: research the drives, scan the worlds
and send the first people out before the Sun turns.

ABOUT
In 2091 the Sun's flares stop behaving, and Earth has until 2166. There is no perfect second Earth within reach, only
worlds that are a little too cold, too heavy, too dry or too far. The player runs the effort: what to research, what to
build, which worlds to scan, who goes, and how to keep the colonies alive. A run ends with an epilogue and a report card.

FEATURES
- A real 3D map: 119 planets, moons, stars and small bodies in the Solar System and 25 other star systems, with NASA
  JPL orbits and measured distances.
- 32 research projects grounded in real science, from nuclear thermal rockets (Mars in 5 months) to fusion pulse
  (Alpha Centauri in 147 years).
- Scans, probes and landers turn dots on the map into dossiers.
- Launch plans with honest odds; ships fly on the map for real years.
- Colonies that face exposure, storms and shortages; haulers that bring supplies home.
- 75 years from 2091 to 2166, with pause and three speeds.

ART AND AI
Solar System surfaces use maps made from spacecraft data (Solar System Scope, CC BY 4.0; NASA/JPL-Caltech; NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI).
No one has photographed the surface of a planet around another star, so exoplanet surfaces are artist impressions
generated with AI (Google Gemini) from each world's measured data, and the game labels them as impressions.
