MARS 2064

When, due to war, warming, rebellious AI, and gender mislabeling, living conditions on Earth threatened to become increasingly impossible, it was decided in 2060 to build a settlement space station on Mars. Four years later, a team of scientists (along with a thousand fertilized eggs) is sent to Mars to rebuild human civilization from the ground up. However, when the four arrive on Mars and wake up from their cryo-cell, they receive the message from Earth that a better planet has meanwhile been found for the restart of civilization and that their mission is no longer important. But their trip to Mars was a one-way ticket. Here they are. An impossible planet fled for… a meaningless existence. Waiting for Godot, but unless Godot has a spaceship, they are going to have to wait a very long time. The four try to make the best of it anyway and set up the basic principles of a new society. It soon becomes clear that completely redefining a new society in practice is just a little less evident than they thought in theory. Do they base themselves on the past, do they try something truly new? Is a utopia a utopia? Can findings from the past truly offer wisdom for the future or are we doomed to always make the same mistakes again, regardless of which planet we are on?
