A light, playful space comedy where the real adventure is the bickering crew learning to get along.

Tagline: NO ONE THOUGHT FINDING PLANET B WAS POSSIBLE. AFRICA IS ABOUT TO MAKE IT REAL.
Overview: In the utmost secrecy, the first African space mission is preparing to take off! The crew, from Africa and its diaspora, is set to explore the planet "NARDAL", assessing its potential as a refuge for all Africans should Earth ever become uninhabitable. The problem is that the journey will be long. Very long. And in interstellar missions, the greatest unknown is whether the astronauts will be able to get along.
How it feels: Light, satirical, warm and absurd. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Found family, identity, race, friendship
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
