Paleontologists have declared we are living through the Sixth Mass Extinction, a human-triggered crisis unfolding not over millions of years, but within decades.

Speculative Fiction
Interesting story about humanity’s first contact with an alien intelligence and about our first manned mission to Mars. I do question the mechanics of the Mars craft (like why wasn’t it assembled in orbit with the crew arriving in small groups rather than having 90-something people on one rocket).
