I watched.

FOR ALL MANKIND S04E07 “crossing the line“
The rancid onion continues to peel back layers of stupidity that
spontaneously combust in the oxygen free Martian atmosphere.
There’s this asteroid that’s coming from beyond the system and shooting
through and leaving the system so it’s a one time event. It’s apparently
made of pure iridium. The Martians want to grab it and sell it to us. Earth
knows that this won’t work because they’d have to build 17,000 GW of ships
to bring it back one piece at a time (apparently none of these ships can
ever be reused) but their alternate plan is for earth to grab it and and
mine it in earth orbit. Which sounds like a really fucking stupid idea.
So the Martians decide to form a union and start blowing stuff up and
killing people on the theory that we’ll just let them live there for the
rest of their lives independently. It seems more likely we’d either just
ignore them and let them starve to death, or drop something big on them
from orbit. It turns out their ranks are just full of KGB and CIA goons
just waiting to crack some Martian faux union skulls. The super rich guy
who has decided to stay on Mars buys the union people off by giving them
everything they asked for and more but the union hardliners don’t like that
because it means they’re being bought off. Clearly they are unclear on the
concept. But it turns out, he has a secret plan to steal the asteroid for
Mars. I am hoping he manages to land it right on the colony, and we can
move on to another storyline.

What did you watch?

Nothing. There is no Internet, therefore, no streaming at the house.

I discovered when I got back to the house that it uses wifi.

I am not sure, but it might have trouble holding a charge. It was dead the
next day, but it might have been turned on from jostling in my computer
holder.
