Find out in Season 4 when an 80 year old Ed Baldwin shoves a Russian over the railing.

Not exactly what you asked, but: quote:Venus:Unfortunately, X-Plane is not capable of simulating the hellish environment near the surface of Venus. But physics calculations give us an idea of what flight there would be like. The upshot is: Your plane would fly pretty well, except it would be on fire the whole time, and then it would stop flying, and then stop being a plane. If someone has more scientific sources discussing this, I too am interested!

NASA spends billions trying to come up with a suit and a capsule so that Americans can put the first foot on Venus. Soviets just cut off somebody's foot and crash it onto the surface.

Seems like a plane made of black box would fly well on Venus

I'd bet big bucks that we get some Seinfeld in season 3, seeing that Sony produced both that show and For All Mankind.

From the trailer, seems like both that a big chunk of the season will be on Mars, but also that the season is going to span almost a decade? Unless the "Wilson for Senate in '86" is some kind of archive footage, or the first episode speeds through a lot of stuff.

I hope the "resource that can support large scale human colonization" is not the obvious one but friendship

There's still a chance that the Chinese secretly get there first.Bedshaped posted:I hope the "resource that can support large scale human colonization" is not the obvious one but friendship It definitely looks like there is a scene where two different teams are helping each other during a dust storm. I really hope it doesn't have the private team being near the NASA team and they are bickering with each other. I already got enough of that from some other Mars show from the last few years.

They showed Karen in the trailer, and she was not actively loving any of her friends' sons. Storyline confirmed?
