                      Space... a place of the unknown. Most people want to assume they know exactly what lies beyond our solar system. Most people want to assume that whatever's out there is harmless compared to us humans. Space is a void of complete and utter darkness and mystery. No one can quite know anything that's out there unless they actually look for themselves. Most scientists and astronauts try to discover more and find out what is actually in the void of complete darkness.

 Over the years humans got closer and closer to seeing what is out there. As the years progress we get so close to exploring space yet we are just as far as when we started. You see, as far as anyone knows space is endless so even if we get close to discovering and exploring one planet there's always more in the solar system or there's something completely different. It's hard to imagine an endless void surrounding our peaceful little home on Earth. Although sometimes space can be beautiful, have you ever stared out into the night in a starry sky?

 Many people have very different opinions on space, some love it and want to invest their money into making sure scientists can explore more. Some people just love watching and waiting for what's coming next in the void. Others insist we should focus on the one planet we have. The one planet that is proven to support life. But what if that's not true... What if we humans weren't the only ones in the solar system. 

Space is huge and we don't know for sure if we're the only ones out there. As far as humans can figure out the answer remains no. But what if there was a planet that existed that supported life other than humans. What if aliens were real and what if they were smart and fast and dangerous. No nothing like that could possibly exist humans refuse to believe something like that exists. Something exists that craves us for its next meal, something that has been waiting hundreds of years for us to finally land on the planet. But scientists aren't that stupid are they? No no one could ever purposely send astronauts to explore a planet that they suspect is dangerous. Could they?
