Recap

A man, John Hathaway, walks the empty streets of a colony on Mars past a sign announcing an evacuation. He remembers telling his family that someone will come some day. He looks to the sky and watches for anything that might move. He then goes out into the nearby desert and checks a signal dish, and then goes to his home. Inside, his wife Cora and their two children Tom and Margurite quietly wait. Cora asks if everything is okay and he assures her it is. After sending the children to bed, Cora goes outside and asks John if he's thinking over the past again. He admits there's nothing else to think about, and tells her to go inside while he goes for his evening walk. He walks to a nearby cemetery where three gravestones rest, marked with the names of his family, and begs their forgiveness for doing what he did and admits he was lonely. John looks up again and hopes that a rocket will come after twenty years. ..
