“But there was much more to him than that.” What does the vastness of space mean to Clifford McBride? What secrets is Roy withholding in terms of his father’s final frontier fantasy? His pops holds a darkness as endless as space itself. A ship approaches Saturn. No time for a pitstop, the crew must push ahead.

A dark figure emerges from a red, dusty fog. The planet is probably Mars, as Saturn’s surface is not likely solid.

Back on the moon, we see a massive mall plopped in a crater. Business thrives on the gray orb, as a neon casino cowboy tips a welcoming hat. We also catch a glimpse of a Hudson News (everyone’s favorite airport hotspot) and a Nathan’s Famous hot dog joint.

The computer voice demands, “Please state your mission objective.” Back at Roy’s, the explorer hangs his head against a gorgeous wallpaper we’d like to request for the FSR offices.

Clifford McBride might be the destination of Ad Astra, but along the way, Roy will combat several obstacles. On the lunar surface, he flees on a moon buggy as four others chase in pursuit. A villainous conspiracy is at work.

Weapons are fired, and Roy is chased off the cliff of lunar rock.
