A pair of idiots are sent to Mars. They are killed due to incompetence. Five years later, another group of equal idiots are sent to see what happened. The space program has been put in the hands of men who have no discipline, no dedication to duty, nor respect for each other. There is all this talk about doing things by the book but when the first chance is there to explore, they ignore all their training. They are to remain in sight. They don't. One guy gets another one killed while he hunts for Martian diamonds. Since these are military men, the survivors should be court martialed the minute they arrive back on Earth. There is this steady comic byplay even after a colleague has been killed. One of the characters is such a miserable jerk that he shouldn't be allowed to tie his own shoes. Throw in two oddities: Adam West, Batman and Ted Knight, Ted Baxter from The Mary Tyler Moore Show are principle figures. They do nothing the least bit interesting in the show.
