Glenn Armstrong Shepard had his sights set on going to Mars as a flight surgeon, but a training accident on the Moon left him crippled. Undeterred, he embarked on a new mission: to be fitted with bionic prosthetics and return to space stronger than ever before. However, fate had other plans. Glenn was grounded by the Space Force, and another doctor, his ex-fiancé, took his place on the Mars mission.
Determined to prove his worth, Glenn must fight to reclaim his place as an astronaut. As the crew prepares for their return from Mars, a mysterious illness strikes one of them, leaving Earth in a race against time to mount a rescue mission. The only way to save them is with an experimental, high-acceleration spacecraft that pushes the limits of human endurance.
Glenn Shepard is no ordinary human. He has the strength, determination, and courage to face any challenge that comes his way. This mission is his chance to finally live his dream and prove that he is capable of being an astronaut once more.

In conclusion, Glenn Armstrong Shepard's journey to Mars is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and determination. Despite facing setbacks and obstacles, he never gave up on his dream. His determination to return to space and his willingness to embrace new technologies and challenges make him a true inspiration to all who aspire to explore the final frontier.
