It's not a very good show.
In this last episode, a so-called expert claims that "If anyone dies on Mars then all future missions are over because the public wouldn't accept astronauts dying... blah, blah, blah," which made me laugh.
Is the guy remotely aware of the astronauts and cosmonauts who lost their lives getting into space and to the moon? Multiple American and Soviet missions resulted in deaths due to mechanical failures. We and the Russians didn't scrap our space programs because of it. See the link below.

And let's not forget that we didn't end the Space Shuttle program just because Challenger and Columbia resulted in fatalities.
Such a statement is so proportionately stupid in scope, that I'm not going to expound on it further accept to say that Joe Lunch Pail could care less if people might die on Mars. He's only worried about taking care of his family or making a decent paycheck.
Getting back to your point though, the show is pretty lame.

You make a good point. There is a scene where the IMSF Committee meets to discuss their plans, and some ignorant person says there were no deaths during the Apollo program.
Do the writers know anything about Apollo 1...?!? Un-friggin-believable.
