(Jacob Crouch, one of the founding fathers [Yes,
he is a drum!!!])
After spending a year building the Mission Mars site, Jacob continued with high school running the sound for the auditorium. He was considered by most to be a dork spending more time with his computer than with the human race.
He graduated from Galesburg High School in the top 50 of his class. He attended Monmouth College where he still spent most of his time with his computer. Jacob by this time was lead drummer in Monmouth Scottish formerly know as Monmouth College Pipes and Drums. The band changed names when it withdrew from the college during the Illinois Piping Wars--the MCPD was at the heart of the conflict since the two leaders of the war were both active members of the band, Pipe Major Bruce and ex-Pipe Major Josh.When the Illinois Piping Wars were over everything was pretty much back to normal with the exception of the band's name.
After college, Jacob was looking at a career with SANA the new world-wide space program. SANA was formed when NASA collapsed during the Space Wars, a time when different companies fought for the right to put objects in space.
The years passed by as Jacob soon became a top official at SANA. Then came what is now known as "The Year" when humans found out that they were not alone after all. A large alien craft smashed down in to the center of a small town. Unfortunately the authorities weren't quick enough to pull another Roswell. Jacob was one of the few officials not blamed with trying a cover up.
Jacob became head of SANA leading a bold plan to land humans on Mars. After arguing for years in the world senate, he was able to launch operation code name MISSION MARS. The mission was successfully carried out, and Jacob began a program using a new Martian fuel to power a super rocket capable of traveling 7 light years per hour. Making the trip to Mars like driving to the mall.
Jacob, at a ripe old age of 155, took his own personal super rocket out to see how far he could go on one tank of fuel. The rocket ran out of fuel, drifted too close to a black hole, and was sucked in. Jacob became the first man to enter a black hole. He has yet to come out the back side.
