- Pre-History
Since ancient times, people kept looking into the stars. Each night they wanted to see how stars look like. They had dreamed about touching them. But it was impossible. Even humans traveling to space in recent only gave us a chance to see stars in a few miles closer distance. But no one could ever touch any star... But then, great idea has born in one man’s head. He shared his minds with a friend. They evaluated the great idea. In the beginning of 2006 a group of people gathered together and after long debates decided to make humans dream reality, as John Kennedy said, ‘(…) not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.’ The group was working in completely secret almost for whole year. The idea of touching the star was such implausible that no one knew will their (and every daydreamer) wish ever become reality until the last day.

It was a sunny morning in the centre of the Europe. The spring was almost there. Birds were singing and flowers blossomed. Everyone knew or at least supposed that something unusual soon will happen. And it did. In 2007 May 1st somewhere in the middle of World Wide Web a small peace of matter which had limitless mass explode. The time, space and fundamental force have formed. The great blast spat out millions tones of fundamental particles into the space. Particles started gathering together until they formed matter clouds which soon turned into stars. About 1 000 000 stars have born. And then the time has been stopped. First stage of mission completed successfully.
- Today and tomorrow
The great alternative Universe is already created and now people are able to touch stars. To make this process more fascinating ‘The Team of Stars’ decided to let people become owners of stars. Poor incomes will be invested in development of the Universe and also serve as at least small reward for enormous team’s job. In order to make the Universe accessible for all internet browsers and that visitors would feel more comfortable the Universe was put in paid server. It means that from now existence and future of this universe depends not only on us, but also on You. Don’t be afraid of touching Your own star and maybe one day the time will start passing again.
