SPECIES: Human Male
Lieutenant John Mark Kelly was the commander of the Ares IV
mission to Mars in 2032. He disappeared on October 19, along
with the command module in which he was orbiting the planet,
while the other two crew members were on the planet's surface.
USS Voyager subsequently
discovered the command module, along with Kelly's body, inside a
graviton ellipse in the Delta Quadrant in 2376. Accessing the
logs, they learned, much to their surprise, that Kelly had lived
for several days after being caught in the ellipse, even seeing
an alien ship and learning that Humans were not alone in the
universe before he died. Kelly was given a full military funeral
aboard Voyager, and is widely regarded as one of the true
pioneers of manned space exploration, a fact which was even
acknowledged by Seven of Nine, who had initially been skeptical
of the value in his recovery.
