|summary= Set in the near future, NASA prepares to send three astronauts in to space to put the first humans on Mars. Helen Kane, Yoshi Tanaka, and Sergei Kuznetsov are the trio selected for the mission, but they must first prove themselves by spending seventeen months in a simulation that mirrors conditions on Mars. Each of the astronauts has their own reason for taking part in the mission and their relationships with their families will be put to the ultimate test as they begin this journey of discovery and escapism.

|summary=It would be unkind and certainly unfair to say that it was Stacey Grant's mother who was the cause of Stacey losing her job: she might well have been the trigger but it was her manager, Jeff Dodds, who used her request to work flexibly as an excuse to make her redundant. There was a lot of ''support'' for Stacey - the staff were as stunned as she was, but in terms of the people she could rely on, there were just a few. Her mother was out of the equation : it was her dementia which started the problem and her husband Steve was wrapped up in the fact that he'd just been promoted to board level in his job. There ''were'' the girls: the four of them had met at University and Stacey, Melissa, Beth and Gaby had been firm friends ever since. And there was Bruno the dog.
