[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
A mysterious force is sabotaging a space launch program which leads directly back to the commander of the team, who once claimed to have seen an alien in space while witnessing Mars from Earth orbit.
[edit] Production details
The image of a face on Mars surface at the beginning of the episode was inspired by the famous photo taken by Viking 1 on July 25, 1976 on the Cydonia Mensae region of planet Mars. However, the photo in the episode is a fake one.
