10 years later, during the Antares mission it was finally revealed to Donner and Shaw that the true mission on Mars was to retrieve the Alpha object and that the major contributing factor to the mission's failure was that Jeff Walker was not chosen by Beta. He was not supposed to be part of the mission. The events of the mission are the reason Eve Shaw has had such control over selection of the Antares crew.
