For All Mankind Season 4 Recap and New Character Details

For All Mankind season four took place eight years after the events of season three where countries of the world are represented and sectionalized at a Martian colony known as Happy Valley. While interests are generally extended from their respective countries, like the United States, Soviet Union, and North Korea, tensions boil over as humanity's future lies in sustainability to covet invaluable resources. Upon the discovery of a mineral-rich asteroid, Happy Valley and Earth attempt to requisition the asteroid. As the colonists discover the bureaucrats on Earth look to hoard the asteroid, it places their future on Mars in jeopardy as funding could potentially get cut and, ultimately, abandoned, leading to the epic space heist in the season four finale.
