Space had always fascinated Vesper. From a young age he dreamed of exploring space.. so that's exactly what he did, when he was 21, he signed to be in the next group of astronauts to live on various planets.
Although he got caught up. He fell in love and had a baby boy who he named Rocket (To the mothers disapproval). It didn't much matter, his partner left him soon after. Hearing that he had to leave to Mars soon, that snapped him out of his trance, he was able to get ready and convince NASA to let him take Rocket with him.
So he raised Rocket in space, his boy never knew anything but space, and he liked it that way. The space base was a big circle shaped building with different hallways and rooms branching off of it, it had 20 other people in it, but Vesper was the only one with a kid.
A kid he had forgotten to put to bed...
He snapped out of his thoughts, grabbing the last of his tools and gathering the rocks he dug out for the scientists back at NASA. Taking them back to the base, going through the airlock and taking off his suit, he put them in the washing station to sanitize them. He walked along the catwalk and glanced around the various futuristic furniture and devices, it was cozy...
He got to his branch of the base, running into the room
"Rocket?! You in here bud?!"
