Season 4 will imagine a world where the Soviet Union, not the United States, landed on the moon in 1969. Subsequently, this change led to the presidencies of Ted Kennedy and Gary Hart and a revived space race with the USSR.

Furthermore, the new season, set in 2003, will focus on capturing and mining valuable asteroids. Additionally, these asteroids could change the future of Earth and Mars. However, despite their relentless efforts, tensions at the international base could threaten this monumental progress.
