60 Years in Space
A downloadable game
You are a High Frontier crew: 4 astronauts in a 40 tonne crew module, equipped with on board chemical rockets and prospecting gear for in situ resource utilization (ISRU) recovery of water from ice frozen in the regolith on high hydration sites like Mars and Ceres. Water is the key to unlocking the solar system: it can be used as rocket propellant and fuel, as well as supporting industrialization on extraterrestrial sites to build new technologies which cannot be constructed on Earth.
The best sites have already been claimed by the first wave of explorers, and you will travel through a solar system in the midst of rapid change as the high frontier becomes colonized. Your crew will be supported by a mission control back on Earth, which acts as a common pool of recruits to replace lost or stranded astronauts, as well as provide remote finance, research and engineering assistance. The 60 Years In Space role-playing game is as much about the evolution of your Mission Control as it is your crew: you will be responsible for defining how you react to the changing social and technological milieu of the 21st century, as well as the frictions experienced by returning to a Mission Control which may no longer recognize or support you following your decades of isolation in space.
While this is happening, you and the rest of the crew are aging and atrophying, drifting away from the Earth-side. You must push beyond the outer limits of known space, holding onto or letting go of your humanity to survive.
The 60 Years In Space is the officially licensed TTRPG of the High Frontier board game.
