Amidst political tension between Earth, Mars and the Belt, they unravel the single greatest conspiracy of all time.

In this noir thriller set two hundred years in the future, the case of a missing young woman leads a washed-up detective across the solar system to uncover the greatest conspiracy in human history.
About The Expanse Seasons 3:
As the Rocinante crew digs deeper into the search for Prax's missing daughter, the war between Earth and Mars turns deadly in ways the solar system has never seen. But a new threat in the outer reaches of the Belt could prove much more dangerous, threatening to test the very future of humanity.
About The Expanse Seasons 4:
Season 4 of The Expanse, its first as a global Amazon Original, begins a new chapter for the series with the crew of the Rocinante on a mission from the U.N. to explore new worlds beyond the Ring Gate. Humanity has been given access to thousands of Earth-like planets which has created a land rush and furthered tensions between the opposing nations of Earth, Mars and the Belt. Ilus is the first of these planets, one rich with natural resources but also marked by the ruins of a long dead alien civilization. While Earthers, Martians and Belters maneuver to colonize Ilus and its natural resources, these early explorers don’t understand this new world and are unaware of the larger dangers that await them.

I love the series, up until season 4, where it lost quite a bit. One thing that called my attention: you don't have ANY clue what's happening when starting to watch. I had to watch it twice to see how well crafted even the background is. The series starts as a big mistery. Unfortunately they messed up the german version. Holden doesn't come over so hard boiled like in the origonal, that's why I didn't liked him much. They also managed Drummer sounding like she was having a stroke for like 6 episodes for no reason. I really like science fiction and no series before took a route where I was sure: This WILL happen weithin the next 100-150 years! Well done!🎉 🎉🎉

As much as I absolutely friggin love the expanse, and they're superior sc-fi science realism, you've really got to wonder where they keep all that reaction mass for their drives. If this was an Irish production, they'd have called it "the feckin' expanse".Prior to it's restart, I had never been so dejected at a series' cancellation.

[@Awol991]

Get an object to light speed and it effectively has infinite mass. If they can somehow push out even minuscule amounts of mass at very near light speed they have their thrust.

[@Declan-pg8cg]

@@Awol991 The energies required would be immense. The Epstein drive looks like a miniature and seamless version of the Daedalus drive. I'm right in the middle of sculpting the four Rocinante crew for making figures, because they can't be gotten anywhere.

[@bigglessy]

They go in to more details in the books, basically it seems like they use a laser compression fusion engine coupled with water as a reaction mass, so ships carry large tanks of water (which they need to keep anyway) and use it as reaction mass. It's stated that the faster you go the faster you use reaction mass, so poodling around at 1/3rd G you can go a long time between refuels, possibly well over a year, but if you want to push yourself on say a long 3G burn, you'll run out of fuel in a few weeks. It's like afterburners on a fighter jet, lots more thrust at the cost of massive fuel expenditure.

[@Cynthesis21]

@@Awol991 The epstein drives in TE go nowhere near the speed of light.

[@Awol991]

@@Cynthesis21 I am not saying the drives make ships go that fast. If the drive can move the exhaust that fast the effective reaction mass for the drive increases. And as light speed is always relative the effective mass increase is always there.

[@user-uo1qr6vn1q]

Amazon has about a year left to do something with The Expanse before it can be bought by another network/company, and apparently both Apple and HBO Max are very interested. Of course developing the rest of James SA Corey’s (Ty Franck & Dan Abraham) Expanse books are only one option that someone buying the franchise would have. Any number of off-shoots of that Universe would be possible. No matter what happens, considering the lack of originality in TV & Film right now, not to mention the enormous fan base this series has created over the past 7 years - which just continues to grow, it would be ridiculous for this franchise to sit on the shelf going forward because of a lack of development. Especially given the countless number of series released seemingly every month, with so many that are barely entertaining. So🤞Apple, HBO, or another company capitalizes on this franchise’s popularity & potential.
