Back to Earth

The Back to Earth Movement was an organization in the early 21st century, presumably based in Salt Lake City, Utah, that opposed space travel and Human settlement of other planets besides Earth. When rumors of an extraterrestrial "invasion" began to spread in October of 2045, the Back to Earth Movement responded by holding a prayer meeting, and calling for an end to all space exploration programs, including the UNSS Icarus' mission to Alpha Centauri, then three years from Earth.
