As Artemis 2 flies around the Moon in real life, For All Mankind is looking well beyond. The Apple TV show is currently set on Mars, and everyone there has eyes looking even further into the cosmos. But how will they make that happen? Well, two women still on Earth seem to have the answer.
For All Mankind is currently in the midst of its fifth season, and this week’s third episode, titled “Home,” is one of the biggest and most memorable yet. Part of that is that two of the show’s most iconic characters, Margo Madison (Wrenn Schmidt, who has been on the show since season one) and Aleida Rosales (Coral Peña, who has played the character since season two), are about to have a very important chat. One that io9 has an exclusive clip from. Check it out.
To recap a bit, Margo, a former leader at NASA, is in jail for aiding Russia but still retains a relationship with Aleida, her former mentee and current CEO of Helios. They have regular discussions about what’s happening on Mars, and now, the problem is how to beat the competition to Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. And it’s Margo that gives Aleida an answer she never even thought of. Going back to the old ship, Sojourner.
What happens from there? We won’t spoil it. But we love that this clip brings together two of the show’s best, all-time characters having a conversation that’s so crucial to where things are going. Can Helios and/or NASA bring Sojourner back to life and send it even further into space? What, if anything, will they find there if they do? And what’s next for Margo and Aleida, a duo that has had quite the relationship over the years?
Trust us when we say you do not want to miss this week’s episode of For All Mankind. We’ll have more on it later this week.
