Grandma Carter came home a genuine hero, and she used the fame to get exactly what she wanted. The final frontier. Space. She pulled strings and got transferred to NASA. Yeah, she was a genuine NASA astronaut. She went to the moon, Mars, and beyond. And when the Western Alliance needed a military governor for Mars, they decided they needed someone with her connections to govern our part of the red planet. The Russians and the Chinese thought the same thing and sent their own veterans of Singapore to command their colonies. Grandma and her counterparts didn’t want war, so they kept a lid on things up there. They kept the peace, and that is no small task.
