ARCHIVE 001 // 1979
The first four.
In this alternative history, the first crewed Mars landing happened in 1979. Four engineers stepped onto the surface. They raised no national flags: a single Martian flag marked the beginning.
A landing is a moment. A settlement is everything that follows. The first four had to turn equipment, planning, and a thin margin for error into a home.
