* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Following a massive disaster in its supposed golden launch (not to mention the death of one of the company's founders) means Polaris is instantly facing a public backlash with calls for investigations into its safety measures. Karen acknowledges the company's reputation is in tatters and investors are calling in their debts, rendering them from a soaring stock to instant bankruptcy overnight. It's why she's more than willing to take Helios' offer, as that's far better than what she'd get for what's left of the company.

* RefugeInAudacity: Molly announces Ed as the mission commander without consulting Margo first, assuming that Margo will have no choice but to play along. It backfires horribly as Margo decides to overrule Molly even if doing so will humiliate Ed. When Deke Slayton pulled a similar stunt back int he 1970s it worked. But times have changed.

The rovers Spirit and Opportunity are on Mars, ''Beagle'' has arrived at Jamestown, ''Enterprise'' has returned from satellite repair, and ''Pathfinder'' is on a classified mission.
