Every mission has a screwup, Darlene, they just got theirs out of the way early.
It would be smooth sailing after that.
Matt Logan is so wrong.
So very, very wrong.
because something elsewillgo wrong.
He removes the panel at the location of the leak, releasing it into the ship.
Lu and Misha put out the fire, but lose all faith in their commander.
They want her replaced.
Its a possible mutiny!
This is justthe first episodeand already were abandoning the mission!
and also, I love you!
Its nice, I guess.)
A space walk is one of the most dangerous space activities an astronaut can do!
Also, Misha hates Emma right now!
So Emma has Misha throw her and her tether over it.
Hey, guess what?
Were still on the space walk thing!
She could very easily just float off into space!
Honestly, fuck this space walk.
Ugh, more space walk problems!
Matt learns hell most likely never walk again due to complications from his stroke.
His wife is only three weeks into her three-year-long mission!
Lu and Mei will not be able to talk to one another for … years?
Forever?Its devastating.
Ram gets mono!!
Mono, you guys.In space!Its highly contagious and his extreme fever is making him hallucinate.
He hallucinates so bad he almost opens the air lock.
You know, the air lock, otherwise known as The Door to Outer Space.
Hes very sick and could infect everyone else on board.
Oh, did I mention that Ram is the medical officer on board?
During a hallucination in his room, Ram falls and slices his back open.
The rest of the crew risks exposure to help him.
And then Ram sort of confesses feelings for Emma, maybe.
Even if it wasnt his intention, it makes her feelveryawkward.
Emmas teen daughter Lex (Talitha Eliana Bateman) gets aCon a science test.
The daughter of two astronauts failing science?
Lex sneaks out with her new boyfriend, Isaac (Adam Irigoyen).
Sure, its to go to Christmas Eve midnight Mass, but Matt does not appreciate the lying!
Dear lord, a huge chunk of Kwesis heel just falls off his foot and floats around the ship.
I am giving you zero context for this, its better that way.
Were halfway through the season and now it is time for the engineer on boardto!
The water system on board breaks and the person who can fix it is going blind.
Water rations means theres not enough water to keep Kwesis plants that were supposed to grow on Mars alive.
All of his work will have to die.
Its noble but dangerous!
And it certainly doesnt make it okay when she tells her crew that she shouldve gone home.
None of this instills confidence in ones leader.
Shes fine, but this especially makes Emma wish she were home and not hurtling through space.
Again, confidence in command is way down, folks.
Well, specifically Matt wants to turn that ship around because he loves his wife so gosh dang much.
Everyone but Emma is devastated!
They would die for this mission!
So hey, who knows, maybe they could die for this mission!
Remember how it would be a miracle if the backup water system lasted even ten weeks?
Well, the Atlas isnt allowed to have miracles andthe system breakstwo weeks ahead of the Mars landing.
Time to worry about dying of thirst again!
They puncture the wall.
Ram and Emma do not kiss after their successful space walk and ice crystal gathering mission!!
I do not support cheating but I do support hot people making out after surviving near-death experiences!!
And thats enough crises for one season!
I am happy and surprised to report thateverything during the actual landing goes smoothly, a true blessing.
Although really, what else could go wrong?
