Away would be when the mission-to-Mars series began production. The Netflix series that stars Hillary Swank as Emma Green, the commander of a years-long global mission to the Red Planet offers plenty of nail-biting spacewalks but it's also grounded in themes of isolation and hope that are particularly resonant since life effectively changed last March.The series revolves around an international effort to land a crew on the moon that is then rocketed to Mars in a tightrope of timing and launches.
