Incentive Design Sketch
It's 1956, and slowly the world is turning away from the idea of space travel and exploration. Many countries have not only abandoned their own state-funded programs, but have forced private owners to sell their ships. The last great frontier is now little more than a dream... just as being a space explorer was Mary Raven's childhood dream. Her father, Rock, was a space pilot. But now, receiving news of his death, Mary takes her airplane to his last home and the last spaceport on Earth, Ignition City, to learn how he died.
