Surely it's a massive security flaw that Happy Valley Mission Control is that open and accesible.

Yeeeeaaaahhhh, I thought the same thing.
It was sad that Massey ended up going to prison , but it makes sense that someone wasn't getting out of what happened last season unscathed. Somehow Dev comes out of it smelling like a rose. I suppose his involvement was kept low key since everything depended on his company anyway.
I like how they started handing off the chore of the season-opening wake up ritual to Aleida. I'm interested to see what happens this season. I do hope there is more spaceflight. I don't mind mars but I'd like to see something different.

I thought that was a cool passing of the baton, especially since we still saw Margo's routine but along with more of Aleida's.
Finally got the time to watch it and it was a decent season opener like most shows do updating the status of the principal cast, introducing new ones and laying the groundwork for the season plot.
What i liked though is how really good their makeup department is in making the characters age and how well the actors, especially the really old ones like Margo and Ed, show it in their movements and speech.
Ed intentionally messing with the OP center and his ankle monitor was funny.
Loved the moneyshot of the bike taking off from the hill showcasing the lower gravity on Mars ( not actually knowing this but everybody moving around like it's 1G is still a litte break of immersion but practicality of filmmaking takes precendence)

Yes! I forgot to mention this in my review but I was likewise impressed by the makeup and matching performances for Ed and Margo. That kind of work has come a long way as oppose to, say, The Tenth Doctor in "The Last of the Time Lords" which I still cringe at (ironically, it's not too bad in "The Family of Blood").
From what I've read and seen theorized (since obviously nobody has lived long-term in Mars gravity), it's been speculated that the higher jump/faster strides or speed in Martian gravity would decline as your muscles have to work less in the lower gravity and diminish possibly within 6 months or less.
It could be mitigated some by working out, but probably maintaining Earth gravity able bodies would need to spend significant time in simulated Earth gravity on Mars. Possibly by rotating structures. Although if they did do that then the movement speed/jumping inside of those structures would be as if you were on Earth so wouldn't see any superhero antics anyway.
Although for anyone with any intention of returning to Earth there's definitely going to have to be capable facilities to simulate gravity/work-outs/etc... Adapting back to Earth gravity after being on Mars for years otherwise would seem extremely difficult.
Like that one friend of Alex going to enlist. There has to have been something to maintain "Earth-levels" of physical fitness because going to boot-camp from years? on Mars would seem insane.
Or short term, surely?
Even without taking muscle atrophy into account, I wouldn't be surprised if people got their "Mars legs" or "moon legs" fairly quickly and stopped walking so forcefully they launched their heads into the ceiling with every step. People already unconsciously adjust how they stand and walk if they're on an incline or boat or something, and then have to momentarily adjust back to being on flat, solid ground.
Yes and i hope they show it in the show too as another way to differentiate both groups.
The Expanse did this front and center with Martians having real trouble walking or doing any physical activity on Earth for an extended time, like doing a run with extra weight in a backpack.
i still wonder if we will see what the moon looks like in season 5 like does the planet have many colonies owned by many different countries by now
because we kinda never saw what the moon looked like in season 3 and 4 in the episodes and also during the famous for all mankind time jump season premieres intros

If so i figure it'll be only in passing, a one or two line reference because the focus is clearly on Mars and Earth now.
One way they could do it though and which would be cool would be to use the Luna base(s) as a staging ground for the "invasion" of Mars, which would be quite logical as a spot to refuel,restock ship(s) travelling to Mars carrying the necessary soldiers and equipment. We know from the trailer that the situation between both planets will heat up.
This was also a big theme in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy, albeit entirely focused on Mars. By the end of Blue Mars, the third or fourth generation of Martians (I forget which) were considered a different species because of the gravity effects.

It also reminded me of Ransom in Voyager's episode Equinox. Also, the product placement was very obvious with the Apple Vision Pro.
I'm perplexed. How can a closed and controlled system like the Mars base have such an illegal immigration problem?!? And these aren't even isolated cases; they have a whole office dedicated to asylum seekers.
And what the hell is the allure of Mars for working there? How do you send the money you earn home?

whats next they have japan become the 1st astronauts to land on jupiter while australia become the 1st astronauts to land to mercury
Jupiter could be a bit... problematic!
