The Expanse Is the Spiritual Sequel For All Mankind Fans Need

If you loved For All Mankind's "Mars is ours" rallying cry, then The Expanse's "Remember the Cant!" should be your next chant. The two shows sit at very different points in humanity's journey into space: For All Mankind depicts the early days of establishing life beyond Earth, while The Expanse imagines a future where colonies have flourished, new civilizations have emerged, and fleets regularly travel to parts of the Solar System that For All Mankind's astronauts have yet to explore.

Both series make the same clear point: space colonization is not solely about technological progress. Moving humanity beyond Earth does not erase social inequality; if anything, it makes those issues even more urgent. In a realm where essentials such as air and water are limited resources, society becomes vulnerable to unrest when basic needs are not met equally.
