“Space is a business,” insists Helios Aerospace founder Dev Ayesa (Edi Gathegi)—think a less annoying Elon Musk type—when he arrives on Mars in the middle of a contentious labor strike among his on-the-ground blue-collar workers. (Bet you never saw an outer-space series going there.) Their disruptions cause unintended tragic consequences but also threaten the international mission to capture the “Goldilocks” asteroid and mine its precious minerals. As Dev works with Commander Danielle Poole (Krys Marshall) to make Happy Valley more harmonious, newly arrived scientist Kelly Baldwin (Cynthy Wu) confronts her combative adoptive dad Ed (Joel Kinnaman) over his “Norma Rae” tactics. Back on Earth, Margo (Wrenn Schmidt) gets an assignment from her icy Russian boss Irina (Svetlana Efremova) that reignites her complicated feelings about having defected from the U.S.
