Days Since Last Incident: 0 | Mars Horizon - Part 3 (Beta - Space Agency Sim)
105Mars Horizon Beta continues and we are hit by many setbacks as we attempt to put human beings on the Moon. These setbacks are mainly of the exploding rocket nature and we do see quite a few rockets, and their payloads (which may or may not contain living beings...), explode. A bit.
We do complete some other missions in order to gain some public support and some money but we are forced to spend quite a bit of cash on our base in order to build the larger launchpads and Astronaut training facilities.
There is some success as we do finally launch for the Moon with a team of brave Cosmonauts but do we get there first or do our rival agencies beat us?
This is the end of the beta and time was running out so this was a bit rushed but we shall indeed return to Mars Horizon in the future!
NOTE: This is the Beta build of the game.

In Mars Horizon, you take control of a major space agency, leading it from the dawn of the space age through to making humanity a multi-planetary species by landing astronauts on Mars. Manage the challenges faced then and now, as well as:
Create your base with research labs, astronaut training facilities, and more
Construct your own custom vehicles from hundreds of combinations
Launch satellites and crewed spacecraft to explore the Solar System
Solve the various challenges of turn-based missions to earn science points and public support
Explore an extensive tech tree and compete or collaborate with other agencies to plot your roadmap to Mars
Will you push to stay ahead of the other agencies, or focus on testing and research? There are multiple ways to ensure the first person on Mars is under your command. Every choice matters: will you invest in the most advanced technology or take risks in the rush to the red planet?
Using actual events and missions as inspiration, can you handle the challenges faced by real space agencies?
Management is a vital aspect of Mars Horizon. You'll need to design and build the right spacecraft, hire and train the crew, and make strategic decisions as mission control to survive the journey to Mars.
Enter into diplomatic partnerships with other agencies to share the rewards of space exploration, or risk going it alone to gain the greater prestige. Construct the ideal rocket from historically-inspired vehicle parts. Hire contractors to construct vehicles and use their unique benefits to gain a key edge over your competitors.
Launching a payload into space is only the first step. In assuming the role of Flight Director, you'll need to manage your spacecraft's resources and solve strategic challenges in turn-based missions in order to succeed. But beware: space is a very unforgiving environment.
These are the critical moment-to-moment decisions of mission control; do you spend power to fix a malfunctioning antenna or save it in case of an oxygen leak? Perhaps risking that extra three months of mission planning could have avoided this issue?
Mars Horizon has been made with the input and support of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the UK Space Agency.
We’ve collaborated with numerous experts in space exploration, from engineers developing the technology used in Mars programmes to those designing the next generation of missions.
