Okay so hear me out. It's 2350, right? Humanity has expanded to the outer reaches of our solar system. Humaniry is divided into three classes of people, Earthers, Martians and those who live and work in space, Belters.

Mars has become a free nation and is now in the middle of a cold war with Earth. Then one day a ship named the Canterbury disappears and someone named James Holden, an earther working for a Belt based ice hauling company says his ship the Canterbury was destroyed and points the finger at Mars.

They could call the new show something like The Void or The Space Between. 🙃

And somehow Ed Baldwin is still around.

Anyway, your theory is nice, but it has one fatal flaw: It was already confirmed that Andy Weir's The Martian takes place in the same universe as The Expanse and I don't see how that works with For All Mankind.

Ok, it's the year 40.000 and humanity is fighting a war against extinction (and pro-extinction as well).

And Ed Baldwin is the emperor of mankind.

It's the year 40k and for some reason people greet each other with "Hi Bob". Linguists still haven't found the origin of this expression.

Dip into interstellar travel, maybe?
