Plot
Astronaut John awakens from a hibernation cycle on the spacecraft Odyssey 1, en route to Saturn's moon, Titan. The ship's mission is to travel to Titan, collect a large amount of natural resources, such as methane, for use back on Earth, and then return. Due to the multi-year journey, the crew must endure multiple awake/asleep cycles as they travel through space. The crew awakens about every 90 days to perform routine checks and maintenance, communicate with Earth, and ensure they remain on course before being returned to a drug-induced hibernation sleep.
