A little backstory first.

In the Fall of 1989, the U.S. Government launched the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) with the intent of putting a base on the Moon and Man on Mars by the Fall of 2009.
In 1988, President Reagan enacted an official U.S. “space policy” outlined in documents that remain classified to this day. In these documents were two such missions deemed far too terrifying to disclose to humanity…
…To even the President’s eventual successors.
The second of the two was Mission: Columbus – launched in 2008 – for the specific reason of finding out what happened to the previous crew.
The first manned mission to Mars – launched in secret in 1990 – was called ARIES, and this mission is the entire reason for Mission Columbus – the latter of which was the most sophisticated military-civilian and heavy industrial collaboration in the history of mankind to never be known to the general public – the latter mission to yield only one survivor…
…And one of only two human-beings on our planet to know the utterly terrifying and devastating truth behind what happened to the doomed, five-man crew of the ISV Aries.

So, basically all I need as far as advice goes is a few things to not put in it that are utterly stupid in the realm of space exploration. Not like obvious stuff, but things and potential pet-peeves that would make the experts go 'WTF' (the conspiracy theorist element aside, I've got some special "sci-fi-ness" in mind to fill in the gap, i.e. Roswell). I'm a writer first and a researcher second. I am doing my own research but some help with streamlining the writing-to-application process would be much appreciated.
