Half Life
Available From:
About seventy-five years from now, the human race is in a lot of trouble and may even be on the brink of extinction because of the rapid evolution of diseases, outstripping
humanity’s ability to come up with cures or treatments. It’s a real long shot, but a crew of heroic young men and women, nearly all of them with a potentially fatal disease, crew a ship to the outer solar system to (name) to investigate the predicted pre-life biochemistry there in the slim hope of learning something that can be used to help Earth.
