On 25 February 2042, the United Nations Starship Icarus, a Columbus class sunlight cruiser commanded by Captain Roger Tauber, departed on the first manned expedition to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system to Earth, to search for a habitable planet. A crowd of several thousand people watched nearby as the ship was launched from the moon, while billions watched live, televised coverage. The estimated travel time for the voyage was six years. On 23 June 2048, the Icarus arrived at Alpha Centauri. Contact was established with a humanoid culture there, despite many scientific predictions doubting the possibility of intelligent, humanoid life elsewhere in the universe.[1][2][3]
The Icarus returned to Earth from its historic journey in September 2054. A United Nations mission was dispatched to Alpha Centauri to begin official recognition, discuss trade, and exchange knowledge of each other's history.[4] The Icarus, following its retirement in 2075, was preserved at the Spaceflight Museum at Earth's moon.[1]
