This epistolary novel, enhanced by a graphic format, illustrations, and modern scientific content, imagines the first manned mission to Mars.

August 27th, 2037. Just a few hours until the launch of the Mars 2038 mission, and the whole world is abuzz. Five astronauts have been chosen for the first manned flight to the red planet. The French astronaut keeps a secret log that reveals Mars 2038 is not the idealized pioneer mission it's been made out to be in the media. Conditions for the astronauts have been dicey, there's been espionage and corruption… her log, along with NASA archives, reveals the truth surrounding the lives of astronauts aboard the ship and the reactions of the people of Earth during the mission.
