Manifesto
Charter
In 2268, the first attempt in space-jump was carried out by six brave humans aboard the prototype ship Excalibur.
Humanity cheered in anticipation from all corners of the planet, as the first jump away was observed from no less than 148 satellites and observation stations.
However, the celebrations came to a sudden end as the return jump marked one of the the darkest days in human history.
As billions watched the night sky through augmented reality projections, the prototype ship catastrophically blew up upon re-entry into space killing everyone aboard.
A week later, with nothing left to bury, the President of the UEE Robert T. Akita held a speech at the memorial watched by billions.
The following is an excerpt from that speech, carved into the Statue Of Remembrance, dedicated to the six humans tragically lost.
To persevere in our illumination of the dark night with dignity to the generations of sacrifice that made it possible and integrity for the generations yet to come, so that one day, they may lead us with wisdom and compassion as we have led those before us. President Robert T. Akita.
When the UEE-SEC (United Empire of Earth Science and Exploration Commission) was founded in the year 2940, the charter of UEE-SEC borrowed this excerpt to commemorate and establish the principles of human space exploration.
To Persevere with physical and moral strength against the greater opposition.
To uphold our Dignity despite challenges brought to us.
To traverse the unknown with Integrity so that it may change our minds, but not our character.
