AWAY
Fridays on NetflixAWAY Quotes
Look, I know you wanted to be the one leading this mission. But a commander has one job -- to take care of the crew, and Lu just had a meltdown. And now she's trapped in a tin can with four people that know her deepest secret. Not 'cause she wanted it, not because she asked for it. Because you wanted to feel important and score some points with the boys.

Melissa: Yeah, what was it they told us in training? Uh... the right stuff isn't about ego or swagger anymore.
Emma: Uh-huh. It's about resilience. It's not about conquering space; it's about enduring it.
Mei: To learn a new language, you have to be fearless.
Lu: I am not afraid.
Mei: Vulnerable, then. You have to let go and risk looking a fool.
Listen to me. It's just you and Misha out there. Plans don't matter. Mission Control doesn't matter. You gotta work together. You know what's right, and you keep looking ahead, find that next hold.

Ram: Do you think you're the only one haunted by the sacrifices you made to get here? And you, I vouched for you with Darlene, but what you did out there was irresponsible and quite frankly insane. You keep behaving like that; you're gonna get yourself killed.
Kwesi: Ram.
Ram: We all need you alive. I need you alive.
Emma: It's just the two of us out there, Misha. We have to work together. You have to trust me.
Misha: Look, spacewalk is like war. You have to trust the man walking with you to save your life, or vice versa. Now, you and I... first time with emergency, you froze. Trust, it's good, it's important. But it must be earned, Commander.
If there's anything life has taught me, you don't get exactly what you sign up for.
Melissa
Misha: Look, I did nine EVAs. Trust me; I know what I'm doing. We shouldn't have any confusion about who is in charge out there, okay?
Emma: We have confusion in here; why wouldn't we have it out there?
Misha: Because you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Lu and me, none of us would.
Ram: You know you really need to start treating her like the commander of this ship.
Misha: She proved in the first days of mission she's not fit commander, so relax, and don't tell me who to treat like what. You have no idea what I had to sacrifice to get here.
Reporter: Why should we care more about Mars than we do our own planet?
Emma: We shouldn't. Of course, we should care about social imperatives. But in the US alone, we spend a trillion dollars each year on the military, and mostly in case the countries represented here decide to blow each other off the face of the Earth. This mission, it costs a fraction of that, as we work together, repurposing those same tools of destruction for discovery.
Kwesi: At this very moment, there's a team of astronauts on the Moon, mining polar ice caps for fuel and water.
Misha: Water that will be pumped into the hull of our ship to shield us from radiation, allowing us to travel safely from the Moon to Mars.
Emma: Reaching Mars... might prove to be the greatest achievement. Not only for science, but for the future of our planet.
How can you know what's best for me? I don't know what's best for me. I mean... the only thing I've ever known for sure in my life is that I want to be on the first mission to Mars.

This is Commander Emma Green here, on the Moon, which is obvious. But there are so many others who can't be here, at home and around the world. It's because of their work and sacrifices that we are standing here today. Getting to Mars might be the hardest thing that humankind has ever tried. It requires the best of us, from all of us. And maybe it's not our nature to work together, but the future demands otherwise. And we will come together now in pursuit of a dream that was once thought to be impossible. And if we can do this, we can do anything. We've been grimly reminded of the extraordinary challenges that await us. But we will reach the surface of Mars, and we will return home.
Emma
Yeah, but you gotta be the one that wants to take the shot!
Emma
