I just finished watching the Netflix show, Away. It's about a commander and her small crew, on the first manned trip to Mars, the perils of the trip, and the heartbreak of leaving loved ones behind (or not having anyone to leave behind). Each crew member represents a different nation, from the USA, UK, India, Russia and China, all showing different pressures and backstories.



I quite enjoyed the show, especially as it's set as if it was happening right now. The likelihood, is that we wont see a manned mission to Mars for many years yet (unless Elon Musk gets his way).

If you were able to be trained and prepared, would you want to do a three year trip to Mars, and be one of the first there, with all the risks and fame that would bring?

Yeah, it would be so cool to go to mars...
