The Valar Mission, Back to Square One

 is a readable shard in Cyberpunk 2077.

Transcript
The failure of the Valar mission - which undermines the progress of the Lieserl 3.0 program our understanding of exoplanet group 9726-09 - may be definitive proof that the current space race is hindering overall space exploration efforts rather than fueling them through "noble competition."

In 2060, Lagaretta predicted that the pace of technological development at the time would lead to the confirmation of the existence of white holes and the discovery of a theory for quantum gravity within fifteen years. Alas, those fifteen years have come and gone. Perhaps if the ESA, SRC, and Orbital Air tried to cooperate and share information in the spirit of science for a change rather than torpedoing each other's research, the situation today might be very different.

I do not claim to be a visionary as Lagaretta was, but I would bet my last eurodollar that next major mission success will launch from O'Neill 1 - not Earth.
