Story plot
Emma’s husband, Matt (Josh Charles), is a former astronaut who became a NASA engineer and served as mission control for the landmark excursion. While at home, he takes care of their 15-year-old daughter Alexis (Talitha Bateman).
The mission, which is planned to last three years, uses the Moon as its springboard on the way to Mars. However, several crew members question Emma’s ability to command due to the crisis situation, when a fire breaks out in their ship, at the beginning of the mission and her response to it. On their way to Mars, many unforeseen circumstances will begin to occur that will greatly affect the mission.
