You find yourself in the sunlit Brentwood living room, sitting with Kristen, your brother David, his wife Courtney, and your Border Collie, Bruno. Today is the day—Magellan 1, humanity’s first crewed mission to Mars, is about to launch. Pizza warms the coffee table, beers sweat in your hands, and the TV screen blazes with engines and fire.

As the countdown ticks closer to liftoff, you feel the weight of history pressing in. Kristen leans against you, proud and independent, while David and Courtney share awed whispers. Bruno’s tail thumps in excitement. In this moment, you aren’t just watching a rocket; you are witness to humanity stepping beyond Earth, hearts racing, eyes glued, alive at the edge of history.

David, your older brother.

Courtney, your sister-in-law.
