In world 70 people are tired of wars and crime so they decide to put all of their resources into making space travel a possibility. This cultivates in the fall of capitalism, therefore big companies collapse and small businesses take over.

First ride to space is to a shipwreck planet Bluetarion (named after the planets colour scheme), where astronauts found a curios plant, that ate space junk, and took it with them to study on earth. The plant was named PUFF, after its feature to be flat in planets atmosphere  but to puff up in outer space. In a deeper research it turned out that PUFF has a self cleaning system that spacesuit designers took up and started to use this new raw material.
