"My name is Nathaniel Lee the CEO of NASA, I want to go to Mars, Not Just to Visit but to love there" Nathaniel begins, the room is full of dressed men and women, queitly as they begin to listen.

"But Mars is untouched! Full of opportunity" he says and add's a dramatic pause.

"Now I would like to explain how this idea came to my mind" he say's - shifting gears.

"I had a dream since when I was twelve; that mankind not just to visit on mars - but to live there, because mother nature dosen't negotiate now say it with me!" He added as the audience were saying it together

"Just add water!!!" The audience applauded.

Astronauts on their space suit's holding their helmet, come into view. They stand behind Mr. Lee they are seperated with plastic barrier.

"These people show's bravery and courage, they will be sent to mars, not just to visit but to live there" Mr. Lee said, there are loud and excited applauds.

On the screen above them, display pops up. It is a set of special buildings on Mars.

"This is the true and official citizens on Mars, we call it East Texas" Mr. Lee explains.

*applauses*

"Give it up for the lead Astronaut, Clara Shin" Mr. Lee says.
A beautiful and young vibrant woman with double eyelid slended brown eyes and a black hair steps forward.

"Sorry if were only have a time for a couple of your questions, you know what its like the night before trip" she says and the crowd laughs.

Magazine people ask here about how does she feel scacrificing the next four years of her life, and if she is afraid.

She answers that she is honnored to be going to mars, for her its an opportunity, she is afraid to let the mission down as the people applauded eagerly.

*Two Months Later*

They are halfway to Mars when Clara discovers that she is Positively pregnant. They run an ultrasound on her. She is indeed carrying a baby. Mr. Lee is immediately notified.

"If we come clean about Clara being pregnant, the public want her to bring back and her baby back to Earth" Nathaniel explains.

"What is so wrong about that?" Asks a scientist with a fine black brown hair.

"The baby is developing a zero gravity. Her bones will be brittle and her heart will be weak" Nathaniel explains.

"We couldn't just turn the mission back around could we?" Asks the female doctor, knowingly.

"Id't take them three months to return, and by then Clara would probably have had her baby, and besides the baby will have a cruicial development in the womb. It wouldn't be able to adjust in Earth's atmosphere either way" Robin Kang (the NASA director) explains.

"And we could all lose fundings if everyone finds out" Kang explains.

"Then we will wait this out for right now" Nathaniel Explains.

"Well it is Clara's choice as a leader and a....... Mother" Nathaniel finishes.

*Three Months Later*

Clara goes to the labour as they were landing on Mars. They rush her to the hospital wing compund on Mars were begins to gave birth of healthy daughter.

"Hanna" as she beams down and leans on her. She kisses her forhead and beam down on her.

A look of realization crosses her features, and she grow limp - her eyes glaze as she began to feel seizure.

"Clara" a doctor says sternly.
The baby is taken out of her limp arms and taken out of the room - screaming and crying.

The doctors were trying their best to do a CPR on her to revive her and 30 minutes without heart beat and she is gone. A doctor approaches the camera and starts to speak.

"Mr. Lee we lost her *sigh* amniotic embolism is what we believe that can causes her to death. She gave birth to what we know, a healthy daughter"

"She named her Hanna" the doctor adds.

"Please keep in touch with what are we going to do with this baby" another doctor added.

Mr. Lee, scientist Terry Choi, the female scientist from before, and a very intelligent doctor, all have meeting the same day of Clara's death.

"If the world finds out that a pregnant astronaut accidentally send to outer space and died on Mars due to labour difficulties, they'd want to bring back the child. The baby will die if it is returned home" Nathaniel explains.

"We will lose all fundings and favours, if the public finds out" the female scientist added.

"If we lose our fundings everyone including the girl, will be sent back to Earth. and she will not survive very long to Earth" Kang says.

"I have an Idea" Nathaniel says.

"What idea?" The female scientist added.

"Say we come clean and face the problem head on. I could go to Mars on the next mission as a support" Nathaniel answers.

"As a passenger? Nathaniel, you know that's out of the picture" Terry says skeptically.

*Pause of Silence*

"Am I missing something here? Asks the female scientist.

" Doctor" Orders Terry.

"Mr. Lee has a brain condition that permits certain types of travel. If he performs that certain types of travels, there is a high chance that he will die" the doctor explains.

"Mars is out of the picture" the scientist states.

"So the girl remains on Mars as a secret, and we say that Clara died from pressure changes" Nathaniel confirms and they agree. He is very devastated by this all, and basically keeps to himself and occasionally observes East Texas's cameras for the next 23 years.
