Solar Expanse #013 | Mission to Mercury [NO COMMENTARY]

This time, we are completing the mass drivers on Phobos and Deimos, which will allow our colony on Mars - now home to nearly 2,000 people - to operate independently most of the time: the mass drivers will launch the mined resources from the surface into orbit, and a small fleet of solar sails will collect them at regular intervals, transporting them back to Mars. In the meantime, we are setting our sights on another target that is not only easily accessible but also overflowing with valuable materials: Mercury. However, since surface conditions are too harsh for a human crew, we must first work with automated equipment and begin preparing a base that can then be used by colonists once we have terraformed the planet.
