Mars is no longer a red planet; it is now a fully livable planet. However, while Mars thrives, Earth faces threats from ecological catastrophe and overpopulation. Political unrest between the Reds, who want to keep the planet in its desert nature, and the Green "terraformers" also begins as soon as people start looking to Mars as a haven, perhaps leading to an interplanetary war. There is still uncertainty about Earth's final destiny and the potential for more solar system research.
