Mars Rush!

Steven Trask, a multi-billionaire, dreams of landing humanity safely on Mars. After a disastrous attempt, Steven Trask hires his two biggest critics, Bjorn and Faith Sorenson, in a bid to return to Mars and achieve success. Follow Trask as he secures international financing including marrying the beautiful daughter of a Russian oligarch, secures the backing of a powerful nation in his bid to create the first extraterrestrial country on the Moon, and uses the Moon to rehearse a Mars landing like no other dreamed of. Trask is a dreamer. Trask's aspirations include space tourism, lunar habitats, land grabs, sovereignty, mining rights, and the need for humanity to commence their journey into space, to colonize where they can, and then to venture onto the stars. His mantra is specific - Earth is doomed by its own Sun and Moon and humanity can either burn up or venture forth and survive! Despite the fact that a good billion years will pass before this eventuality, Trask sees no reason why the adventure should begin immediately. Follow his dream, the intrigue, the deals, and the vision as Steven Trask marches humanity on its first leg of what will be a never-ending journey to find homes in the universe.
