I have spoken with some military contacts with knowledge of such events. Although this particular story is fiction, there are some elements that are
factual.
Area 51 contains a rather large compliment of human built X Craft (no evidence of reverse engineered alien technology, all home grown) with
orbital/transorbital abilities.
We have a far greater and more active space program than is publicly known. NASA is essentially a public relations cover. The current number of
persons in orbit or elsewhere is several times what is admitted for those on the ISS or other orbital space craft at any given time.
We have at least conducted extensive operations on the moon since at least the 1970s, and there is a real possiblity we may have a manned base
there.
We "attempted" a manned mission to mars in the mid to late 1980s. No information on the outcome, although it apparently was not positive (the reason
was given as being "nontechnical or nonengineering related")
Immediately after this "attempted" mission, funding was diverted to development of HAARP technologies.
