For All Mankind

Our eyes remain on the Heavens, and our resolve cannot waiver.

I promise you today that we will not rest

until we find those responsible for the theft of this asteroid.

A resource that will bring prosperity to our nation

and all nations of the world.

Earth comes first! Earth comes first!

President Gore let a handful of anarchists and criminals run amok.

Watching your paychecks go lower

while more of your tax dollars get sent up to the Red Planet.

The people up there, they have no respect for the law

or a hard day's work.

But we will not back down.

Everything that makes the M-6 the greatest alliance on Earth

- only comes through decisive action. -

And we will continue to stand up for what is right.

To stand up for our people. Our planet. And for our way of life.

Curfew is now in effect.

- Authorized personnel only after 0100. - All right.

Thank you for your compliance.

Curfew is now in effect. Authorized personnel only after 0100.

Yeah, I was the same at that age. Problems with authority.

Fitting in?

Right. But my mom made sure it didn't go on my record.

I couldn't have passed hopper flight training otherwise.

Well, remind me never to fly with you at the stick.

Ah, don't worry. I barely get one goddamn flight a week as is.

- Ah. - Unit 37,

possible unapproved transit in hallway Alpha 459.

Copy, dispatch. We'll take a look.

Hey, I need to see your curfew pass.

Stop!

Oh, God.

Look!

Dispatch, 37. We got another 10-17B. In pursuit.

Copy that, unit 37.

Goddamn it.

Ah, shit.

Dispatch, unit 37. We lost 'em.

Graciana, let's go.

Let's roll out. Up and at 'em.

- - Let's go, ladies. You know the drill.

- -

Thank you, Leanne.

The city Dev Ayesa plans to build on Mars is called Meru.

The city will include living and working space

for up to one million citizens,

and use the resources of Mars to be 100 percent sustainable

and self-sufficient.

Ayesa says Helios will begin breaking ground within the year.

Meru will not just be another base.

It won't be made up of crew quarters or hab modules,

but homes where families can join in converting the Red Planet

from a desert to a garden.

And I mean that literally. In addition to ample residential green space...

Liam!

- Good morning. - Where the fuck is Gene?

Um, I'm not entirely sure. Uh, maybe the Europa meeting?

Um, a few things, ma'am.

The intelligence team needs some guidance on those bio sensor selectivity issues.

Didn't I already respond to that?

Uh, no.

Well, UV shouldn't penetrate more than an inch below the surface.

So they need to redesign the sensor to those specs.

Yes, ma'am. I also wanted...

Boss, the M-6 wants you to come to Berlin next week.

They're still not happy with rate of refined iridium

- being shipped back to Earth. - Huh! They're never happy.

Yeah.

What the fuck, Gene?

We didn't know he was gonna do the interview.

Isn't it your job to know?

How the fuck does Dev make an announcement like that without clearance?

I know I sure as shit didn't sign off on it.

Look, everybody up there, they're all Dev people.

- He does whatever the hell he wants. - That's not how this works.

This is a public company,

so you need to remind Dev that the funding for his "city" is not approved.

- He's not gonna be happy about that. - Good.

- Not now, Sharon. -

Mmm.

Morning.

Big day today.

Yeah, can you believe it? Our little girl. Gee.

Mmm.

Sweetie? You up?

Sweetie?

No, she must have got up early.

Come on. I better get dressed.

Or we could get undressed?

Ah, baby. No. Come on. You know we got a lot to do before the ceremony.

I'll be so quick.

How romantic.

Okay.

- Okay, okay. Okay, okay. - Quick?

- Looking sharp, Admiral. - Damn right.

- -

Contact. All reading nominal.

Goddamn it, Ed. We're working here.

Sons of bitches.

Told you we didn't have time.

Yeah, but it was still worth it.

Man, I wish they would stop doing that.

Sure you do.

I do.

- Oh, good morning. -

Good morning. You guys coming later?

Yes, of course.

We already prepared gift.

- Oh. - Ah, yeah.

Then show me your permit.

Permit? This is barely a railing.

Unauthorized additions to property are strictly forbidden.

It's a safety issue.

These are pressurized modules. If everyone's making their own mods...

Safety, come on. This makes it more safe for people.

Try it.

Take it down.

Have a nice sol.

- - I told you not to put this thing up.

Same old bullshit. They make those rules just to show who is boss.

Yeah, well, now we owe the boss another 300 bucks.

Did you get the, uh, trays for the ceremony ready?

- We're running late. - Yes. Yes.

- Please, come on. - Okay.

Right there.

Huh?

Beautiful, Ilya.

Anything for our girl.

Tendi made it all with love.

- Try one? - I wish I could, but we are late.
