'''''Ares One''''' is the name of the first manned spaceflight to [[Mars]]. Its crew consisted of four astronauts: Commander [[Jacob Hardy]], [[M. Mihaylova]], [[Qiao]], and [[Evie Calumet]]. However, Evie perished shortly before the mission launched. It was made with cooperation from the [[wikipedia:United States|United States]], [[wikipedia:China|China]], and [[wikipedia:Russia|Russia]].

==History==
Fourteen months prior to the mission, a press conference was held, where Commander Hardy said he felt privileged to be  part of the mission. The [[Traveler]] had already visited [[Jupiter]], [[Mercury]], and [[Venus]] at this point, and at the time it was unknown if it would stop at Mars at all. Despite this, the mission was still approved in order to assess the possible threat of the Traveler.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian/Races#Ghost_Fragment:_Human|Ghost Fragment: Human]]''</ref>

During the mission, a twenty minute delay in communications meant the crew was on its own for a landing. While searching for a safe point to touchdown, the number three engine malfunctioned. Qiao and Mihaylova managed to correct the error, while Hardy landed the vessel manually.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian/Races#Ghost_Fragment:_Human_2|Ghost Fragment: Human 2]]''</ref> They left their ship and proceeded on foot to the Traveler, armed with weapons in case they needed them.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian/Races#Ghost_Fragment:_Human_3|Ghost Fragment: Human 3]]''</ref> 

At the top of the ridge they came into view of the Traveler, terraforming Mars before their eyes and making it rain on the desert world. Hardy marveled at the Traveler, believing it to be the key to humanities advancement. Fifty years later humanity would be living among the worlds the traveler visited, and this first contact with the Traveler marked the beginning of the [[Golden Age]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian/Races#Ghost_Fragment:_Human_4|Ghost Fragment: Human 4]]''</ref>
