Five people from different nationalities and cultures take on the challenge of this heroic feat. The astronauts, after passing the halfway point, lose visual contact with the Earth. 3.

Although they maintain periodic communications with Ground Control, the astronauts know that they are on their own. The only possibility of returning to Earth is in reaching Mars. They are unaware that the real challenge they face is within their own minds; the greatest journey of discovery is taking place within them.
