Tasha Nagorski: Martian Pioneer Part I

Season 2 · Episode 17

Friday, June 9, 2023 • Duration 03:31:23

Tasha Nagorski fought hard just to get to Mars. Space agencies claimed she wasn’t physically qualified – but they needed her talent! Working at the Mars U.N. International Station, MUNIS, she and fellow engineer Brandon Olson, are driven to distraction by government power junkies. Soon they’re self-exhiled to the Mars Frontier on a project greater than any undertaken on this planet. Those on the Frontier do not have a government, nor do they want one forced upon them. Battling the harsh conditions and pitfalls of Mars, Tasha and friends must be wary of the human element which has always been more treacherous. Chapters 1-9 of 30. Copyright 2023. Written and presented by author Michael James Scharen.
