Space dramas are highly tense aren’t they? There’s something hugely stressful about watching astronauts sweating under their massive helmets as various buttons light up and alarms sound.
As the third episode of this glossy series kicks off, the crew is having difficulties and panic is rife. Fortunately, it turns out that they are only in a simulator, but this doesn’t bode well for the mission does it? Ahh, the many challenges of colonising another planet. Later on, Kayla (LisaGay Hamilton) and Tom (Sean Penn) find themselves at loggerheads when they’re faced with a difficult decision.
Meanwhile, aerospace boss Laz Ingram (Natascha McElhone) tries desperately to hold everything together.
And a problem arises with the Mars Ascent Vehicle that may jeopardise the crew’s safety. As if they needed anything else to go wrong.
Elsewhere, Aiko (Keiko Agena) hosts a dinner party to celebrate Sadie (Hannah Ware) and Ollie’s (Patrick Kennedy) wedding anniversary.
