It is now up to the members of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) to fully plan and incorporate Project __ in order to Colonize the planet Proxima Centauri B, a exoplanet 4.47 lightyears from Earth. As UNOOSA it will be delegates' job to collaborate in the art of space exploration, and enforcement of the 5 laws of space to ensure equal access for all. If successful, life as we know it will be saved. If not, the story of mankind will come to a close.
