The first mission to Mars has landed, only to find out, it has lost all communication with ground control and Earth. Someone or something, has destroyed two satellites in low Earth orbit. The International Space Station makes an emergency maneuver to protect it from the rapidly expanding debris field that could destroy it. In what's called the Kessler Effect, other satellites are being destroyed due to a cascading effect compounded by the existing space junk, disrupting all space related communication. As a result, life on Earth is effectively returned to the 1800’s. No phone service, no power, no gasoline, no GPS, no transportation, no food and no municipal water. Riots soon break out; the National Guard is sent out to preserve order. People are dying. No one knows who is to blame for the growing chaos. NASA cannot communicate with any of the astronauts on the ISS or on Mars. The astronauts are left to fend for themselves. Things are looking grim. Can they survive the Kessler Effect
