Synopsis: In this interplanetary adventure, a space shuttle embarks on the first mission to colonize Mars, only to discover after takeoff that one of the astronauts is pregnant. Shortly after landing, she dies from complications while giving birth to the first human born on the red planet - never revealing who the father is.

When he finally gets a chance to go to Earth, he's eager to experience all of the wonders he could only read about on Mars - from the most simple to the extraordinary.

You're okay. You're okay.

I'm right here.

Are you insane? Do you think that the

protocol does not apply to you?

You could have caused an atmospheric

breach, not to mention die.

No body rides unaccompanied,

no matter who they are

Gardner, What is going on here?

This is not like you.

You wouldn't understand.

My mother is out there.

How did you get past the electronic lock?

That magnetic implant

is there to monitor the growth of

your organs. It doesn't serve as a pass key

- And how do you even learn how to do that?

- Raised by scientists in a bubble.

Open.

That plaque for your mother

is just a piece of metal in the ground.

Okay?

Her ashes was spread

across the Pacific Ocean.

You deserve to know that.

She's not out there, Gardner.

She is in you.

I do not like to go to sleep

with us in a fight.

We are not in a fight.

This is how you greet an old friend?

If he is unannounced, yes.

It's about the boy.

Mr. Shepherd, you have no idea

how smart he is.

He is being denied connection.

Not to do this at this point

I'm sorry. It would be inhumane.

Miss Wayne, I am touched by your concern,

I really am...

But none of this matters, if he

can't survive. We have been through this.

For starters we will have to add

carbon nanotubes to strengthen

his bone density.

It's a very complex procedure.

It's, it;s... Too risky. I'm Sorry.

Tom, I can not sign on to this.

With all due respect, Nathaniel,

I am not asking. I am telling.

You've been gone for 16 years.

- Have you run this one NASA?

NASA has always felt conflicted over this.

They want to do the right thing,

which this is.

They want to bring the boy home.

Look, This is our chance

to turn bad PR to good PR.

This has nothing to do with PR.

I'm talking about a boy's life.

Hang on, hang on. Like it or not,

but I'm still the founder.

Like it or not,

East Texas is still my brainchild.

You know, you got a lot more faith

in how the public will respond than I do.

I have some news.

Guess what.

You are taking me to Bora-Bora?

That was a joke. As you were.

They may have found a cure for my disease.

Okay, Mine was closer to the truth.

But mine is the truth.

It will involve an operation.

And some physical therapy.

Pick it up, Pick it up,

you got it, keep going. there you go.

Remember why are you running for.

Assuming all goes well,

I'll be coming to see you.

Cool, and when is this happening?

In a few months.

There is a longer travelling.

Do not take forever. Once the

foster care spits me out, I'm gone.

See you in the flying papers.

File 32:
human courtship.

Here we are. Allow me?

Well, I guess chivalry not entirely dead.

At least not in Nantucket.
