Mars

Mars, named after the Roman god of war, is the fourth planet from the sun.

Background
Before the Great War, the United States Space Administration planned to launch a manned mission to Mars by July 2078, dubbed the Mars Shot Project. The project was delayed by a year due to unrest overseas, never reaching fruition before the war. However, some continue to believe that the project was continued or even accelerated, with potential human habitation on Mars.
