To be fair, I think the intention was for the expedition to be the only humans who didn’t encounter the martians, so that some people would survive, and they just got unlucky.
Fortunately for them, it’s a space vehicle – turning the ship around has no bearing on which direction you are actually headed, so long as you don’t (re-)light your engines. And a space vehicle would most likely have its engines off if you were to randomly pick out any single moment in its voyage.

script is like

Astronauts: (dialogue)
Panel 2: [cool 3d goes here]

You know, you’d think that SEMMF would have told the government about an impending invasion?
Apparently not, otherwise they wouldn’t have sent an expedition with people that can encounter the martians on their way to Earth.

SEMMF do something competent like tell people that there are hostile aliens approaching? Why would you expect them to do that?
I like how they turned the entire ship around so they could look at the ship through the main window.

The rightmost astronaut looks uncomfortably like she could be Dina’s mom.
That’s now my headcanon for Walkyverse. She was an astronaut, but her daughter strove for something different.
She’s gonna so sad when she comes back to Earth.
Wasn’t the launch set a couple of chapters after Dina’s death?
Well, it’s not the mothership from Independence Day.
But … which one of them is Roger?

I actually love the last panel
USS Destiny is Martian tech?
Probably got elements of the Purple Helmets’ tech base in it too but mainly Martian as they were the first aliens SEMME seem to have enountered.
