Las Huellas del Sol

Year 2063. Earth's resources are running out. All space expeditions in search of new fuels have failed, China is a global power, the United States is dying in the hands of the mafia, and people are freezing to death in downtown Manhattan. American tycoon Ben Belson is one of the richest men in the universe, an immature and presumptuous guy who needs to prove to the world that his father was wrong for underestimating him. In a moment of crisis, he decides to stockpile the little uranium that remains on Earth, buys a ship and sets course for a planet that he immediately baptizes with his own name and on which a type of intelligent grass grows whose song enervates the senses. Sidereal missions have been prohibited for a long time, but he has gotten used to getting his way and, with the excuse of finding an answer to the energy crisis, he throws himself into the void of space to overcome his existential void. Thus, what begins as just another eccentricity ends up becoming the expedition of the century. Suddenly, the future of humanity is in his hands, although, in reality, he just wanted to clear his head a little.
