"I am sorry kids, but we have to cut this short. We will talk again soon," Tony interrupts as the images fade out and the lights come back on. "What's going on, Tony?" Eve asks. "Stand by for Commander Spaceboy," Tony replies in a more serious tone.

Eve presses for more information. "We have comets incoming. They popped up out of nowhere. They are uncharted, likely from a collision in the asteroid field beyond the Solar System. They are coming in fast. Impact is estimated in 1 hour!" Commander Spaceboy explains. Jim Spaceboy is the first person born and raised on Mars.
