I'm so sorry.

You know, the meds she's on, it's...

My son had a bad stomach.

Cancer.

He had cancer.

My baby.

You need some roses on your cheeks.

Sit.

All right, roses coming up.

It tickles.

Sissy!

How are you, my lovely girl?

- Oh my.

- Safari Njema.

- Oh.

- Did I say it right?

Perfectly, my dear.

I'll see you out there.

Constance, can I speak to you

for a second?

Oh.

You look beautiful.

Safari nem...

- Njema.

- Njema? What?

It means "bon voyage" in Swahili.

Ahh.

Well, look at you.

Constance gave me roses.

Roses in her cheeks.

Constance felt that she was

looking a little pale.

I threw up in front of Constance.

Was this before or after

she gave you the roses?

Before.

I'm thirsty.

Yeah, why don't you guys go grab

something from the snack cart?

Yeah? Even if the press

conference starts on time,

you've got about half an hour.

- You want anything?

- No.

I know you didn't eat breakfast.

- What's breakfast?

- The most important meal of the day.

That's right.

Get you a muffin.

Come on.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

the Samsara international space team.

Jeff Taylor, Toronto globe and mail.

My question's for Dr. Liu.

You have a long history in heterogeneous

catalyst and surface science.

You've pioneered work with nanotubes,

nanomaterials and nanostructures.

How will your work be

integrated into the mission?

It is the mission.

Without nanotechnology

and nanomaterials,

there is no Mars colony.

Without me, there is no mission.

So wait, you mean I can stay

home and watch the world cup?

Hello, Elvis.

Hi, Myra.

Nice to see you again.

Mira Morganthau.

Io9.Com.

You'll be in charge of communications

for the Samsara mission,

is that correct?

That is the word on the street.

So essentially you'll be wiring Mars.

Designing the colony's

communication infrastructure, yes.

And once I'm done,

you'll never be able to say in space

no one can hear you scream.

Hiroko Okamura, NHK.

Dr. Voss.

You've said that you will be

conducting studies

into the nature

of the dark matter principle.

Yes, and expanding on

the groundbreaking work

conducted by David Klein.

Can you explain to my viewers

exactly what dark matter is?

Well, if I knew that, hiroko,

I wouldn't have to go to Mars.

Amina Labibi, Al Jazeera.

My question is for you, Dr. Biira.

Yes.

Your role on this mission is...

More observational,

less action, is it not?

Are you asking me if I'm with the band?

Forgive me my little joke.

I understand that my function

may not seem as important

as those of my colleagues.

I won't be conducting atmospheric

studies like Kathryn

or doing biomedical research

like Lucien,

but I'd like to think
