Does Kelly Die?
Kelly Baldwin undertakes an exciting challenge in the third season of ‘For All Mankind.’ Kelly, the marine biologist daughter of Ed and Karen Baldwin, is eager to embark on the mission to Mars. Instead of joining her father’s crew at Helios, Kelly joins Danielle Poole at NASA. Kelly takes the biologist’s seat on Sojourner-1 and travels to the Red Planet. During her time in space, Kelly meets Russian cosmonaut Alexei Poletov and the two fall in love. Their love leads to Kelly’s pregnancy shortly before Alexei passes away.
Kelly’s pregnancy poses a major problem to NASA and Helios, who are attempting to bring their astronauts back to earth. After much deliberation, it is decided that Kelly must travel to earth so that she and her’s baby’s lives can be saved. Ed pilots Kelly in the MSAM and launches her in orbit to land on Phoenix, orbiting Mars. The spacecraft is the energy to bring Kelly back to earth. Despite the risks of the tricky maneuver, Kelly safely makes it back to earth. She gives birth to her baby and awaits the return of her comrades from Mars.
