In 1939, something strange was being built in complete secrecy on a remote island off the coast of Ireland.
McKimmons, a local inventor, had become well known for his
aeronautical discoveries. Now an eccentric millionaire,
McKimmons lived alone on the island and spent his days and
nights working. His work would not be made public until
it's discovery in 2029.
In 2029 Nasa sent it's first manned exploration team to
Mars. It was during this exploration of the planet, astronauts
made a startling discovery. What they found was an Ion pulsar
powered spacecraft. It's discovery found technology that
was years ahead of it's time, even in 2029! What the astronauts
saw before them was a spacecraft that had been flown by
the late inventor. McKimmons was never found, however a
diary inside the ship detailed his journey up until 1973.
Among the other items found, plans for the Ion engine, living
quarter with unique life support equipment. Also inside
was hydroponic growing equipment to supply food.
By 2035 Nasa had a working Ion pulsar engine that enabled
the team to travel to distant galaxies.
