IN THE YEAR 1976 NASA was working on a major project called project Phoenix,it is a project named after a ship called The Phoenix this ship is said to be the fastest ship earth has ever seen, it can move 3 light years per day, NASA needed someone who was willing to travel space and who would sacrifice his/her life to discover outer space, NASA found a man by the name Alexander Silver-Wick,he use to be a pilot for the U.S. Air Force.

        On the day of the launch Alex ander went home to tell his family a final good bye,his son justin started to cry saying that he wanted to go with his dad his dad hugged him and said he would always be with him through the stars his father went back to his car but he forgot to bring a pic of his family,he went back inside and his son ran into the back of the car and hid there Alexander got back into the car and went back to NASA Head Quaters he went inside the building and Justin snuck in behind him, Alexander went inside the ship to gear up for the journey Justin snuck into the ship and hid behind the control panel.

            It was almost time for launch Alexander was ready for his journey,as the count down began..10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,..Alexander saw a shoe behind the control panel and went over ...2,1.. He surprisingly saw his son Justin and cried out ''Justin what are you doing here!!!'' , the ship lifted off and out to space it went Alexander didn't say much after he saw his son. Alexander didn't know how to react only thing he could have done at that time was to protect him and have him tag along on the journey, on their way something hit the ship causing the ships oxygen tank to start leaking causing them to panic their was only one space suit and one oxygen tank and the ship was going to enter a planets atmosphere, while the ship was entering the planets atmosphere there were meteors alongside the ship and one had hit the ships engine which caused the ship to lose oxygen. Alexander ensured that Justin was the one that had the oxygen and a chance of survival, Alexander saw their lives in front his eyes and told his son how much he loved him, seconds after the ship crashed in a mountain causing a big explosion, Justin woke up seeing his father's burnt body laying on the floor, he quickly put the gas tank mask over his face and start crying then he heard a noise when he turned around he saw a army approaching him he had no where to run.
