Hello,

my name is Mandy Carter and I'm from Radcliffe in the north of England.

And this is my application to go on your mission to Mars.

I'm currently unemployed.

This woman is amazing. But I have a keen interest in extraterrestrials.

I'd love to see if they're only living on the surface of Mars.

And so I believe I will be a valuable asset to your mission.

Let's not waste any more time on this. No.

That is the last one.

Now we have them.

The six ordinary members of the public will be trained to go to Mars.

And among them is one that will actually go.

Would you like your tea now?

Yes.

But sir, it is a little stuffy in this room. Can we switch the air conditioning

on, please, bitte? Thank you.

Pia, can you contact these applicants and inform them they have been

They are through to the next stage.

God, may I have the word. Yes, Eva.

This mission, it must work. There's millions riding on this.

It will, it will. I have made sure of this. I have told you, Eva. Please take

chill pill.

Following your successful application to the Mars mission, we have the great

pleasure of offering you a place on the programme and hopefully a trip to the

red planet in the near future.

Oh, my God, I'm going to Mars!

I really like this new jean.

I think I might get another pair.

No, look, I've been chosen to go to Mars.

Oh, congratulations, Mandy.

You must have made a real impression on them. It's a gruelling application

process.

I'm so excited.

Are you sure about this, though, Mandy?

Yeah. Well, you know, I haven't looked into the details yet, but they say I'm

going to write a new chapter in the history of mankind.

Why are you crying?

Why do you want to go to Mars?

You didn't enjoy Eastbourne.

This mission will be very dangerous, Mandy.

What if you don't make it?

Chances I'm going to have to take, well, just feel like this is something I have

to do, you know, not just for me, but for future generations.

There is no dream so great that it shouldn't be chased.

I choose to go to Mars not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

Also, it'll get the job centre off me back.

Hello and welcome to Mission to Mars, the TV reality show with an out -of

-world price.

Six weeks ago, seven candidates started their Mars training, and one immediately

stood out.

Despite failing every other test, Mandy Carter proved unexpectedly resilient in

the centrifuge, easily coping with a massive 10G.

A force no one with a central nervous system has ever survived.

And with most of the other contestants eliminated, yesterday came this shock

announcement. You're the final two.

We will make our final selection tomorrow.

Now go home, study your training manual, get some rest.

You're well needed.

Congratulations.

You are now the owner of a SpaceX 3000 Mars launcher vehicle.

I've got a ticket to the moon.

I'll be leaving here any day soon.

I've got a ticket to the moon.

But I'd rather see the sunrise in your eyes.

Ticket to the moon.

As I wandered across the surface of this forbidding planet, some strange

unearthly creatures appeared.

After watching them from my hiding place, I decided they would do me no

So, after some training and elimination, we are now down to our final two

contestants.

Dr. Gould, have you selected a winner?

Yes, thank you, Connie. In fact, we have.

Going to Mars and receiving a year's supply of WD -40, courtesy of our

WD -40 is...

Mandy Carter!

Are you a supplier of WD -40?

That won't come.

Are you certain that she is the perfect candidate?

Yes, she is ideal. She is so stupid. She will play some balls.

What if she won't do it?

Then we'll send a monkey or something.

Mandy, how are you... How are you feeling about the mission? It's a huge

pilot a rocket to Mars. It's going to require all your concentration.

No, I think it's all done with big magnets.

Yeah, and the big question on everyone's lips.

How are you feeling about the fact that this is a one -way ticket, of course?

You are.

I'm not coming back!

It is a one -way ticket. We thought you understood.

I've changed my mind. What?!

Mandy, Mandy, Mandy, Mandy Carter.

I insist you reconsider.

The thing is, we have been monitoring your training, how you handle

weightlessness, centrifugal force, confined spaces.

We have never seen anything like this.

It's like you were born for this mission.

Think about this, Mandy.

Your name will be forever remembered, Mandy Carter. You're the first woman on

televised space mission to Mars.

It'll be on the telly.

All right, I'll do it.

Good.

Mission Commander Mandy Carter has been given a full physical examination and

pronounced all fit.

We're at T minus 30 seconds.

Okay, Mandy.

Lock the hatch.

Locking the hatch.

We're at T minus 10.

9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4,

3, 2, 1.

Press the big red button, Mandy.

Pressing the big red button.

Let's see what this baby can do.

Don't touch anything else, Mandy.

We have liftoff.

Fantastisch. This is amazing.

Shit, I've dropped my twigs.

We have made it. Yes, yes.

I love it, mate.

We have lost visual.

We have lost visual.

She just rang Monday.

And good luck.

After seven months and several hundreds of thousands of miles, the Mars mission

has finally touched down on the red planet.

Now the world is watching as Mandy Carter prepares to take the first human

on another planet.

This is Mission Control.

Prepare to leave the landing craft.

The whole world is watching, Mandy.

Hello, this is Mandy Carter.

I'm about to open the door now.

Door's a bit stuck.

Good job I brought that WD -40 with me.

This is one small step for man.

One giant leap.

from my bed.

Just shows you that wherever you're from is where you're going that counts.

And if you dream big dreams, those dreams can come true.

Because we've only got that one planet to live on.

And it might not be a perfect world, but it looks pretty damn close from where

I'm standing.

This might be the last time you hear from me.

But it won't be the last time you hear the name Mandy Carter.

Every time you look up into the night sky and see a shooting star, that's me.

That's Mandy Carter.

I'll be up here somewhere.

In your dreams.

And in your binoculars.

Something's got to.

No, Mandy!

Don't smoke!

We should have found the monkey.

Sign me, Twig.
