Starfield is the upcoming space RPG from Bethesda, releasing on 6th September 2023. This triple-A title was developed after ten years of contemplation as Bethesda decided not to ride the back of their other big titles, such as Fallout and Elder Scrolls. However, despite all the difficulties that Starfield director Todd Howard explained, the game excelled at presenting the entire space travel ordeal.
Starfield has over 1000 planets, and the developers proudly said that the wonder is not that the field of stars is so vast, but that we have measured it. One of the first things players would try in the game is to explore their own Solar System. Some might begin this with the Earth. Some might go to the Red Planet with two moons, Mars. Since it has been quite a hot topic under the grounds of terraforming, this might be an interesting planet to explore.

They cannot come closer than 9,980 meters to the surface of any planet, for that instance. The spaceship’s engines will show you moving forward, but you can’t traverse past 9,995 meters even if your engines are boosting.
