NASA's budget for the moonbase has been cut by 15%. Worse, they now have competition from Space X. Yes, a bunch of Elon Musk's hand-picked astronauts have set up a Mars habitat nearby. The Captain (John C McGinley - Gangs of New York ) invites Alia Shawkat and the other two Martians over for a get-to-know-you session, in the hope of persuading them to team up with NASA.

Move the Base
Shown 8th November 2020
Captain (John C McGinley - Gangs of New York ) gets orders to assassinate one of the crew. Of course, it turns out to be a lot more complicated than that. As a result, the crew start to get on each others' nerves all the time.
The religious crewmember tries to play peacemaker, and gets the others to play a board-game as a way of bonding. Unfortunately the men are very competitive, and this just drives them apart even further.

Beef
Shown 8th November 2020
The NASA astronauts have another run-in with new neighbours again. This time it is some cowboys, who aim to stampede a quarter of a million cattle through the valley. The astronauts have a couple of days to pack up and move out.
Why do the astronauts just call NASA and get them to sort it out? Well, NASA has basically abandoned them there for six hundred days, give or take, and only the temporary workers get promoted off the moonbase. Perhaps NASA has let ownership right of the land lapse, but this is probably a reference to Clive Bunden - a rancher in Oregon who decided to graze his cattle on taxpayers' land.
