Synopsis
Houston, we have a problem...
Life is fragile. The difference between success and failure can come down to nothing - the thread of a screw, the flick of a switch - and when it goes wrong, you fix it. Or someone dies.
Mission Critical takes us from our world, across the Solar System, and out into deep space to tell the stories of people who had to do the impossible.
And do it fast.
