1
00:00:06,959 --> 00:00:10,124
Previously on Mars.

2
00:00:10,125 --> 00:00:11,999
When you believe
in a goal the way we believed

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,165
in Mars, conviction alone
will sustain you through

4
00:00:15,166 --> 00:00:17,791
almost any test.

5
00:00:17,792 --> 00:00:18,999
Robert!

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,791
If you find evidence
of a second genesis.

7
00:00:22,792 --> 00:00:25,290
Evolution can begin again.

8
00:00:25,291 --> 00:00:27,332
I've got faith.

9
00:00:27,333 --> 00:00:29,207
You know,
I used to stand in the doorway

10
00:00:29,208 --> 00:00:31,165
of the farmhouse where I
grew up looking at all of the

11
00:00:31,166 --> 00:00:33,874
crops, thinking about
all the people they'd feed.

12
00:00:33,875 --> 00:00:35,457
If you push too hard too fast,

13
00:00:35,458 --> 00:00:37,791
something's gonna break.

14
00:00:37,792 --> 00:00:41,542
If they fail, everyone's out.

15
00:00:42,291 --> 00:00:45,040
But faith
doesn't guarantee success.

16
00:00:45,041 --> 00:00:48,374
Without plants we're nothing.

17
00:00:48,375 --> 00:00:52,583
The real test is
what happens when you fail.

18
00:02:15,583 --> 00:02:17,582
Richardson, Leslie.

19
00:02:17,583 --> 00:02:23,125
Phase 2, personal entry.

20
00:02:51,792 --> 00:02:55,333
Damn tragedy.

21
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:05,000
God.

22
00:03:07,208 --> 00:03:12,041
The entire
west section is destroyed.

23
00:03:34,333 --> 00:03:37,666
Paul was always late.

24
00:03:37,667 --> 00:03:41,165
He would get so caught up
in his work that he would

25
00:03:41,166 --> 00:03:45,375
just lose time,
completely forget about it.

26
00:03:50,250 --> 00:03:54,999
And then he would show
up hours later, filthy,

27
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,666
like a kid that had
been playing out in the

28
00:03:56,667 --> 00:03:59,666
mud all day.

29
00:03:59,667 --> 00:04:02,374
And always with that
look on his face,

30
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:07,999
that look as if he knew
that he was in trouble.

31
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,541
But it was all worth it.

32
00:04:10,542 --> 00:04:12,999
There was this one
night I remember,

33
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,040
It was while we were living
out in South America,

34
00:04:16,041 --> 00:04:20,708
he was still in the
forest collecting samples.

35
00:04:20,709 --> 00:04:24,874
He was late, as usual.

36
00:04:24,875 --> 00:04:26,749
But somehow it was different.

37
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:30,416
Morning came.

38
00:04:30,417 --> 00:04:33,207
Another day went by.

39
00:04:33,208 --> 00:04:37,416
Finally I could hear
his footsteps approaching.

40
00:04:37,417 --> 00:04:42,458
So, I rushed out to meet him.

41
00:04:43,583 --> 00:04:46,541
And all of the sudden all of
that fear and worry that I'd

42
00:04:46,542 --> 00:04:52,291
felt turned into anger, rage.

43
00:04:56,417 --> 00:05:02,625
I couldn't believe
how selfish he'd been.

44
00:05:02,917 --> 00:05:07,291
And then he appeared.

45
00:05:08,417 --> 00:05:11,291
Victor.

46
00:05:12,625 --> 00:05:15,499
There he is.

47
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:21,166
Covered
from top to bottom in mud.

48
00:05:27,125 --> 00:05:31,166
With that look on his face...

49
00:05:36,125 --> 00:05:40,375
that look.

50
00:05:43,625 --> 00:05:48,166
And all I could say was,

51
00:05:54,625 --> 00:05:58,417
"I love you."

52
00:06:02,208 --> 00:06:07,208
Without plants we're nothing.

53
00:06:08,375 --> 00:06:14,041
We are not nothing, my friend.

54
00:06:46,917 --> 00:06:49,499
We'd lost seven of our own.

55
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:54,458
The lab and the
greenhouse were destroyed.

56
00:06:55,166 --> 00:06:58,207
Olympus Town was on complete
lock down until the nations of

57
00:06:58,208 --> 00:07:02,166
the IMSF decided on the
fate of our mission.

58
00:07:02,208 --> 00:07:05,708
Was Mars going to be
a giant leap forward,

59
00:07:05,709 --> 00:07:08,207
or just a passing novelty.

60
00:07:08,208 --> 00:07:09,874
It wasn't the first
time humankind had

61
00:07:09,875 --> 00:07:12,583
faced this question.

62
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:26,958
We accomplished
the impossible by

63
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:29,874
stepping on the Moon.

64
00:07:29,875 --> 00:07:32,040
This was, the first hop.

65
00:07:32,041 --> 00:07:35,541
And there would be a skip,
and a jump afterwards.

66
00:07:35,542 --> 00:07:39,416
And we'd keep going
and going and going,

67
00:07:39,417 --> 00:07:43,542
and the future would be
one of endless possibilities,

68
00:07:43,583 --> 00:07:47,124
where the Cosmos was ours.

69
00:07:47,125 --> 00:07:48,582
What do you think
about this Moon landing?

70
00:07:48,583 --> 00:07:50,916
Well it's the
beginning of a new frontier,

71
00:07:50,917 --> 00:07:52,916
a gateway to Mars.

72
00:07:52,917 --> 00:07:56,249
That came to a very abrupt halt.

73
00:07:56,250 --> 00:07:58,749
A major
turning point for Apollo was

74
00:07:58,750 --> 00:08:01,624
the Apollo 13 mission in 1970.

75
00:08:01,625 --> 00:08:03,332
Alright Houston,
we've got a problem.

76
00:08:03,333 --> 00:08:05,457
There is a
bulletin from ABC news.

77
00:08:05,458 --> 00:08:07,791
The Apollo 13 spacecraft
has had a serious

78
00:08:07,792 --> 00:08:09,582
power supply malfunction.

79
00:08:09,583 --> 00:08:12,082
A late report says the
spacecraft now is operating

80
00:08:12,083 --> 00:08:15,000
on battery power alone,
all unnecessary equipment

81
00:08:15,001 --> 00:08:17,916
is being turned off.

82
00:08:17,917 --> 00:08:19,582
Let's everybody keep cool.

83
00:08:19,583 --> 00:08:23,666
Let's not make it
any worse by guessing.

84
00:08:23,667 --> 00:08:26,250
We came
close to losing astronauts.

85
00:08:26,291 --> 00:08:28,124
And it scared the
living daylights out

86
00:08:28,125 --> 00:08:30,165
of lots of people.

87
00:08:30,166 --> 00:08:33,624
And some leaders at NASA
said we gotta stop this.

88
00:08:33,625 --> 00:08:37,666
This is too risky.

89
00:08:37,667 --> 00:08:40,666
We all lived
through that in real time.

90
00:08:40,667 --> 00:08:45,375
We were all wrapped up with
the fate of the astronauts.

91
00:08:46,125 --> 00:08:49,290
It was a close call
to get them back and that

92
00:08:49,291 --> 00:08:52,290
really spooked Nixon.

93
00:08:52,291 --> 00:08:55,165
It soured him on the
notion of sending humans away

94
00:08:55,166 --> 00:08:57,541
from Earth into deep space.

95
00:08:57,542 --> 00:09:01,791
So it was a catalytic
turning point in attitudes

96
00:09:01,792 --> 00:09:03,791
towards space exploration.

97
00:09:03,792 --> 00:09:06,874
Jack and
Fred and I are very proud and

98
00:09:06,875 --> 00:09:09,165
glad to be back
here in Texas tonight.

99
00:09:09,166 --> 00:09:12,000
There were times when
we really didn't think that

100
00:09:12,001 --> 00:09:13,541
we'd make it back here.

101
00:09:13,542 --> 00:09:16,165
After the anomaly on 13,

102
00:09:16,166 --> 00:09:19,207
I thought that our
space exploration would

103
00:09:19,208 --> 00:09:21,040
continue to go.

104
00:09:21,041 --> 00:09:24,165
But the extreme rate of
progress slowed down.

105
00:09:24,166 --> 00:09:26,000
Apollo was this massive promise

106
00:09:26,001 --> 00:09:27,874
of what was going
to be going on, right?

107
00:09:27,875 --> 00:09:30,749
We were going to the
Moon, not to stop.

108
00:09:30,750 --> 00:09:35,332
There were plans beyond the
Moon but all this got killed

109
00:09:35,333 --> 00:09:40,750
as the political will
petered out and was gone.

110
00:09:42,667 --> 00:09:44,833
On a Mars
mission there may be some loss

111
00:09:44,834 --> 00:09:47,541
of life in the process,
there may be failures along

112
00:09:47,542 --> 00:09:50,834
the road, but
people will take it on.

113
00:09:50,875 --> 00:09:54,541
One of the things that you
have to ask is: 'Are the rest of

114
00:09:54,542 --> 00:09:56,582
us willing to allow
them to do that?'

115
00:09:56,583 --> 00:10:00,249
Space exploration is
subject to public opinion,

116
00:10:00,250 --> 00:10:01,874
and political support.

117
00:10:01,875 --> 00:10:03,541
There's no question about that.

118
00:10:03,542 --> 00:10:06,582
If you send astronauts
to Mars and they die there,

119
00:10:06,583 --> 00:10:09,040
I guarantee you, public
opinion will prohibit you from

120
00:10:09,041 --> 00:10:13,125
ever doing it again.

121
00:10:19,542 --> 00:10:21,582
As we buried our friends,

122
00:10:21,583 --> 00:10:24,249
the fate of the mission was
back on Earth in the hands of

123
00:10:24,250 --> 00:10:28,792
my sister and the IMSF.

124
00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:49,416
Hi Ed.

125
00:10:49,417 --> 00:10:51,582
How long until we know?

126
00:10:51,583 --> 00:10:54,249
I told the
press everything I know;

127
00:10:54,250 --> 00:10:56,582
The nations are meeting to
discuss how to proceed and

128
00:10:56,583 --> 00:10:58,416
then we'll make an
official announcement.

129
00:10:58,417 --> 00:11:00,749
You can't let them give up.

130
00:11:00,750 --> 00:11:02,916
You just can't.

131
00:11:02,917 --> 00:11:08,667
They knew something like this
was a possibility, we all did.

132
00:11:09,458 --> 00:11:11,332
Seven of
the world's most beloved

133
00:11:11,333 --> 00:11:14,290
scientists and
astronauts are dead.

134
00:11:14,291 --> 00:11:16,499
Does that mean anything to you?

135
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:18,124
Of course it
means something to me.

136
00:11:18,125 --> 00:11:21,290
What are you talking about?

137
00:11:21,291 --> 00:11:25,124
It's a time to be strong, to
make a statement that says

138
00:11:25,125 --> 00:11:26,833
we're here to stay.

139
00:11:26,834 --> 00:11:28,666
You're not going
to influence my recommendation

140
00:11:28,667 --> 00:11:30,124
to the committee.

141
00:11:30,125 --> 00:11:31,624
We've come too far Joon.

142
00:11:31,625 --> 00:11:33,290
If the train is derailing,

143
00:11:33,291 --> 00:11:36,457
there's nothing I can do
to keep it on the tracks.

144
00:11:36,458 --> 00:11:38,207
The nations respect you,

145
00:11:38,208 --> 00:11:40,290
they will listen to you;

146
00:11:40,291 --> 00:11:44,124
You can inspire them
to stay the course.

147
00:11:44,125 --> 00:11:46,040
Even if we can Ed,

148
00:11:46,041 --> 00:11:48,040
I'm not sure that we should.

149
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:49,624
What?

150
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:51,332
I'm not sure that we should.

151
00:11:51,333 --> 00:11:53,666
Me, I'm sure of one thing.

152
00:11:53,667 --> 00:11:57,709
I won't let go.

153
00:12:06,834 --> 00:12:10,165
Dreamers
of space have always had

154
00:12:10,166 --> 00:12:14,374
their eyes, their hopes,
their aspirations,

155
00:12:14,375 --> 00:12:17,833
on getting to Mars.

156
00:12:17,834 --> 00:12:20,165
Mars has been the goal since.

157
00:12:20,166 --> 00:12:24,750
Wernher Von Braun
got involved with NASA.

158
00:12:28,208 --> 00:12:31,040
Liftoff, we have a liftoff!

159
00:12:31,041 --> 00:12:35,000
Von Braun
overbuilt entirely the rocket

160
00:12:35,041 --> 00:12:36,500
to go to the Moon.

161
00:12:36,542 --> 00:12:39,207
Saturn 5 is the
largest, longest,

162
00:12:39,208 --> 00:12:42,207
and heaviest machine
ever built by humans.

163
00:12:42,208 --> 00:12:45,207
It's absolute overkill
for going to the Moon.

164
00:12:45,208 --> 00:12:48,207
And the reason is, Von Braun
didn't wanna go to the Moon.

165
00:12:48,208 --> 00:12:50,374
He wanted to go to Mars.

166
00:12:50,375 --> 00:12:52,374
The only reason he got
involved in rocketry was

167
00:12:52,375 --> 00:12:54,874
because ever since
he's a little kid,

168
00:12:54,875 --> 00:12:58,624
he's focused on this
idea of getting to Mars.

169
00:12:58,625 --> 00:13:01,374
He invented the
V2 rocket when he was in

170
00:13:01,375 --> 00:13:03,541
his late twenties and
it was the first thing

171
00:13:03,542 --> 00:13:05,624
that ever went
into space from Earth.

172
00:13:05,625 --> 00:13:08,374
Von Braun surrenders
to US forces.

173
00:13:08,375 --> 00:13:11,207
He and his fellow rocket
scientists actually welcomed

174
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:13,040
by the Americans.

175
00:13:13,041 --> 00:13:14,374
After the war,

176
00:13:14,375 --> 00:13:16,541
he writes a book
called 'das Marsprojekt',

177
00:13:16,542 --> 00:13:19,916
which is basically a manual
on how to build a fleet of

178
00:13:19,917 --> 00:13:23,916
ships that can get to Mars
and get humans back.

179
00:13:23,917 --> 00:13:26,457
He's worked out all the
equations, all the details,

180
00:13:26,458 --> 00:13:28,791
of how it could
actually be done.

181
00:13:28,792 --> 00:13:32,416
And it captured the
mind of the world.

182
00:13:32,417 --> 00:13:34,290
Nobody was thinking
about going to the Moon;

183
00:13:34,291 --> 00:13:39,166
They were all imagining
going to Mars.

184
00:13:39,917 --> 00:13:42,416
This closes a
golden chapter in the age

185
00:13:42,417 --> 00:13:44,916
of space exploration.

186
00:13:44,917 --> 00:13:46,749
At the
end of the Apollo program,

187
00:13:46,750 --> 00:13:48,791
NASA's beginning
to lose its focus:

188
00:13:48,792 --> 00:13:49,916
What do we do next?

189
00:13:49,917 --> 00:13:53,916
And there are two proposals
on Richard Nixon's desk.

190
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:57,582
One proposal is that
we build a spaceplane,

191
00:13:57,583 --> 00:13:59,583
called the Space Shuttle.

192
00:13:59,625 --> 00:14:01,833
The other proposal was
from Von Braun and he was

193
00:14:01,834 --> 00:14:03,624
really storming
the halls of Congress,

194
00:14:03,625 --> 00:14:05,791
to say that we can go to Mars.

195
00:14:05,792 --> 00:14:08,457
When would
you see a man on Mars?

196
00:14:08,458 --> 00:14:10,624
We could land a man on Mars in

197
00:14:10,625 --> 00:14:12,833
a little over 10 years
if we really wanted to do it.

198
00:14:12,834 --> 00:14:14,791
Richard Nixon was never that

199
00:14:14,792 --> 00:14:16,624
big of a supporter
of the space program.

200
00:14:16,625 --> 00:14:19,457
He came in wanting to cut
the budget to lower taxes,

201
00:14:19,458 --> 00:14:21,624
and space just
was not a high priority

202
00:14:21,625 --> 00:14:23,207
for that administration.

203
00:14:23,208 --> 00:14:26,499
Basically they just wanted
fewer leaps for mankind, right?

204
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:29,124
Small steps, small steps.

205
00:14:29,125 --> 00:14:31,499
So Nixon
chooses the Space Shuttle

206
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:33,791
over going to Mars.

207
00:14:33,792 --> 00:14:37,124
Von Braun quits NASA,
and within a few years

208
00:14:37,125 --> 00:14:39,874
has cancer and dies.

209
00:14:39,875 --> 00:14:41,666
It must
have taken a great deal of

210
00:14:41,667 --> 00:14:44,207
determination to carry
on and, in view of some the

211
00:14:44,208 --> 00:14:45,833
early failures that you've had.

212
00:14:45,834 --> 00:14:48,708
Well, yes you just have to,

213
00:14:48,709 --> 00:14:52,207
shouldn't give up.
It's very simple,

214
00:14:52,208 --> 00:14:54,207
something blows in your face,

215
00:14:54,208 --> 00:14:56,000
try again, try again, try again.

216
00:14:56,001 --> 00:14:59,917
One fine day you'll
wind up on top.

217
00:15:03,917 --> 00:15:06,332
After the
devastation to the west section

218
00:15:06,333 --> 00:15:10,332
we needed to scavenge from
our other resources to rebuild,

219
00:15:10,333 --> 00:15:13,458
even the old workshop.

220
00:15:20,166 --> 00:15:22,333
Figure
we use the housings to patch

221
00:15:22,375 --> 00:15:25,541
the corridor the best we can.

222
00:15:25,542 --> 00:15:28,708
If we can get the
section sealed with scrap,

223
00:15:28,709 --> 00:15:32,249
my team can start
working on the damage done

224
00:15:32,250 --> 00:15:33,582
to Olympus Town.

225
00:15:33,583 --> 00:15:38,750
Javier!

226
00:15:39,709 --> 00:15:40,916
What?

227
00:15:40,917 --> 00:15:43,834
<i>Ven mira.</i>

228
00:15:47,625 --> 00:15:52,667
<i>Que, what is that,</i>

229
00:15:56,750 --> 00:15:59,958
corrosion?

230
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:03,875
It looks like,
aragonite crystal.

231
00:16:04,917 --> 00:16:07,582
Possible the metal catalyzed

232
00:16:07,583 --> 00:16:10,916
perculate carried by the storm?

233
00:16:10,917 --> 00:16:13,416
Unless
something reacted with the

234
00:16:13,417 --> 00:16:18,624
water that came out of
the condensation filter.

235
00:16:18,625 --> 00:16:22,834
It would be nice if I had a lab.

236
00:16:29,291 --> 00:16:32,499
It's getting dark.

237
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:36,166
Let's get out of here.

238
00:16:38,917 --> 00:16:42,249
Phobos and Deimos.

239
00:16:42,250 --> 00:16:44,667
Fear and terror,

240
00:16:45,291 --> 00:16:48,958
good names for
the Moons of Mars.

241
00:16:48,959 --> 00:16:51,165
We lost
two of our finest cosmonauts

242
00:16:51,166 --> 00:16:52,999
to this catastrophe;

243
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,124
The support of the
Russian people is fading.

244
00:16:56,125 --> 00:16:57,999
We've known this since Apollo:

245
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,457
Once the novelty passes,
so does public support,

246
00:17:02,458 --> 00:17:04,833
and no one ever
died on the Moon.

247
00:17:04,834 --> 00:17:06,708
Is this not
the time to make a statement

248
00:17:06,709 --> 00:17:10,124
that we're here to stay?

249
00:17:10,125 --> 00:17:14,375
We have committed resources,
delivered speeches.

250
00:17:15,291 --> 00:17:17,999
Giving up now could be
a great embarrassment.

251
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,541
More embarrassing than

252
00:17:19,542 --> 00:17:21,624
another tragedy?

253
00:17:21,625 --> 00:17:23,833
We only accepted the risk
in the 60s because it was a

254
00:17:23,834 --> 00:17:26,833
matter of national defense.

255
00:17:26,834 --> 00:17:28,959
People love space,

256
00:17:29,001 --> 00:17:32,666
but not when it means
watching heroes die.

257
00:17:32,667 --> 00:17:34,874
Secretary Seung,

258
00:17:34,875 --> 00:17:38,332
you are as personally
invested as any of us.

259
00:17:38,333 --> 00:17:43,041
I would like to hear your
recommendation to the committee.

260
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,917
May I?

261
00:18:15,083 --> 00:18:17,959
I'm so sorry.

262
00:18:19,208 --> 00:18:21,207
Paul was my responsibility.

263
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:23,749
We don't need to do this.

264
00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:28,040
They all were.

265
00:18:28,041 --> 00:18:30,457
You didn't kill them and

266
00:18:30,458 --> 00:18:33,458
neither did Paul.

267
00:18:34,125 --> 00:18:36,874
And neither did you.

268
00:18:36,875 --> 00:18:40,374
I gave that order, not you.

269
00:18:40,375 --> 00:18:44,249
We didn't have a choice Leslie.

270
00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:46,374
Paul was right in front of me

271
00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:50,249
and I didn't see him.

272
00:18:50,250 --> 00:18:53,249
If we have
any chance in this place

273
00:18:53,250 --> 00:18:57,625
we need you with us.

274
00:19:03,917 --> 00:19:08,291
Hana...

275
00:19:08,333 --> 00:19:12,749
they asked me to make a choice,

276
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:16,834
whether to keep pushing,
or to bring you home.

277
00:19:17,917 --> 00:19:22,124
I tried to go
back to that feeling,

278
00:19:22,125 --> 00:19:24,332
that feeling we had,

279
00:19:24,333 --> 00:19:30,333
staring up at those stars
imagining what was beyond.

280
00:19:35,291 --> 00:19:38,457
Unnie, do you
remember that recurring dream

281
00:19:38,458 --> 00:19:40,457
I used to have?

282
00:19:40,458 --> 00:19:44,624
Walking along the regolith
under the twin Moons before

283
00:19:44,625 --> 00:19:51,208
I even knew it was
Mars I was dreaming about.

284
00:19:56,041 --> 00:20:00,499
When I think about you up there,

285
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:05,375
if it had been you
in that corridor...

286
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:13,207
If it had
been me in that corridor,

287
00:20:13,208 --> 00:20:18,165
I only hope someone else
would have done the same.

288
00:20:18,166 --> 00:20:23,499
This mission, it's
bigger than all of us.

289
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:29,875
I've made my peace, and I'd
do it again if I have to.

290
00:20:34,875 --> 00:20:37,666
That dream I used
to have about Mars.

291
00:20:37,667 --> 00:20:39,582
I could never tell
Mom why I would wake up

292
00:20:39,583 --> 00:20:41,999
crying every time.

293
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,625
It wasn't because
it was a nightmare.

294
00:20:47,166 --> 00:20:52,583
It was because the
dream was over.

295
00:20:53,208 --> 00:20:58,458
Hana, I told
them to bring you home.

296
00:21:00,208 --> 00:21:03,207
I'm going to make a public
announcement next week.

297
00:21:03,208 --> 00:21:07,166
I'm sorry.

298
00:21:13,917 --> 00:21:17,207
The mission had failed,

299
00:21:17,208 --> 00:21:23,959
I'd failed the crew,
I failed Ben.

300
00:22:21,125 --> 00:22:26,958
Man, this
reminds me of a place I used

301
00:22:26,959 --> 00:22:30,791
to go with my father
when I was a kid.

302
00:22:30,792 --> 00:22:33,000
So beautiful.

303
00:22:33,001 --> 00:22:36,457
Yeah.

304
00:22:36,458 --> 00:22:41,041
You know,
they can give us a rover;

305
00:22:41,625 --> 00:22:43,791
Put us in EVA suits,

306
00:22:43,792 --> 00:22:49,041
but that blue sky,
gonna miss that.

307
00:22:53,041 --> 00:22:56,624
There's really no way of
knowing if we actually make it

308
00:22:56,625 --> 00:22:59,417
up there, is there?

309
00:22:59,792 --> 00:23:04,375
Nope, but...

310
00:23:06,166 --> 00:23:10,542
What good would we
be if we didn't even try?

311
00:23:12,709 --> 00:23:17,375
Let's get moving.

312
00:23:41,166 --> 00:23:46,040
The tragedy,
for me, of the shuttle...

313
00:23:46,041 --> 00:23:48,708
it was as if we'd
lost our nerve.

314
00:23:48,709 --> 00:23:52,040
Instead of building on the
technology that had gotten us

315
00:23:52,041 --> 00:23:57,250
to the Moon, and saying
okay, let's go to Mars,

316
00:23:57,542 --> 00:24:04,207
we ended up to a shuttle
which was going nowhere.

317
00:24:04,208 --> 00:24:06,207
We went
into lower Earth orbit for

318
00:24:06,208 --> 00:24:07,874
the next forty years.

319
00:24:07,875 --> 00:24:11,541
And I think a lot people felt
a certain amount of betrayal.

320
00:24:11,542 --> 00:24:14,457
So far, the previous
generations since Apollo have

321
00:24:14,458 --> 00:24:19,333
not picked up that torch
and carried it forward.

322
00:24:19,542 --> 00:24:21,874
We're approaching the

323
00:24:21,875 --> 00:24:24,375
50th Anniversary of the
Apollo Moon landing.

324
00:24:24,417 --> 00:24:27,916
People who watched it happen
are still around and still

325
00:24:27,917 --> 00:24:31,416
remember a time when we
did things like this.

326
00:24:31,417 --> 00:24:35,124
And if anybody had told
me that I would be 64 and

327
00:24:35,125 --> 00:24:37,916
we wouldn't be on Mars,

328
00:24:37,917 --> 00:24:42,082
I would have thought
they were crazy.

329
00:24:42,083 --> 00:24:44,332
Dr. Zubrin,
you're mad that this vision

330
00:24:44,333 --> 00:24:46,082
has been stolen
from a generation?

331
00:24:46,083 --> 00:24:48,082
Yes, we turned our back on the

332
00:24:48,083 --> 00:24:49,749
whole Apollo vision.

333
00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:51,916
It's like Columbus coming
back from the New World and.

334
00:24:51,917 --> 00:24:53,416
Ferdinand and Isabella saying,

335
00:24:53,417 --> 00:24:55,416
"so what,
forget it, burn the ships."

336
00:24:55,417 --> 00:24:57,916
The purpose of space ships
is to actually travel across

337
00:24:57,917 --> 00:24:59,749
space and go to new worlds.

338
00:24:59,750 --> 00:25:01,916
Mars is where the science is,

339
00:25:01,917 --> 00:25:03,916
Mars is where the challenge is,

340
00:25:03,917 --> 00:25:06,332
and Mars is where the future is.

341
00:25:06,333 --> 00:25:10,791
That if we say no,
that is beyond us,

342
00:25:10,792 --> 00:25:13,624
then it would really indicate
that we have become less than

343
00:25:13,625 --> 00:25:16,290
the kind of people we used to
be and that is something that

344
00:25:16,291 --> 00:25:19,667
this country cannot afford.

345
00:25:24,625 --> 00:25:26,791
As the others
prepared Olympus Town for the

346
00:25:26,792 --> 00:25:30,541
official evacuation order,
Robert and I took a trip to

347
00:25:30,542 --> 00:25:35,542
visit an old friend, we needed
her help taking us back.

348
00:25:35,959 --> 00:25:39,250
There she is.

349
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,457
Never thought we'd be trying

350
00:25:41,458 --> 00:25:43,791
to take her back.

351
00:25:43,792 --> 00:25:46,709
Me neither.

352
00:25:53,667 --> 00:25:57,332
It looks like she's
been through a war.

353
00:25:57,333 --> 00:26:00,040
She has.

354
00:26:00,041 --> 00:26:03,165
This is it, your
home for the seven-month

355
00:26:03,166 --> 00:26:07,374
journey and the first two
years you'll be living on Mars

356
00:26:07,375 --> 00:26:13,082
surface, when the time
comes to face the unknown,

357
00:26:13,083 --> 00:26:14,999
there has never been
another suit of armor more

358
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,625
skillfully crafted
than this one.

359
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,916
Take good care of her.

360
00:26:23,917 --> 00:26:27,750
She'll take good care of you.

361
00:27:16,417 --> 00:27:19,916
I want you to
stop and ask yourself what

362
00:27:19,917 --> 00:27:25,791
really is important
to you about this mission;

363
00:27:25,792 --> 00:27:28,416
And if the answer to
that question is not the most

364
00:27:28,417 --> 00:27:31,582
important thing in your life,
then I'm gonna invite you to

365
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:35,666
walk out that door and pursue
that thing, whatever it is.

366
00:27:35,667 --> 00:27:39,249
And don't ever look back,
because no one will ever have

367
00:27:39,250 --> 00:27:43,875
the right to hold
it against you.

368
00:27:46,750 --> 00:27:52,333
Well alright, welcome home.

369
00:27:53,458 --> 00:27:58,417
External
solar arrays are online.

370
00:28:07,333 --> 00:28:11,000
Initializing
for start up on my mark...

371
00:28:11,001 --> 00:28:13,332
3, 2, 1.

372
00:28:13,333 --> 00:28:16,709
Engage.

373
00:28:18,959 --> 00:28:23,709
Pressurizing.

374
00:28:24,458 --> 00:28:26,457
No pressure now Hana,

375
00:28:26,458 --> 00:28:30,207
this is all of humanity
relying on you.

376
00:28:30,208 --> 00:28:31,958
You ready for this?

377
00:28:31,959 --> 00:28:32,999
Three.

378
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,291
Are you?

379
00:28:34,333 --> 00:28:36,875
Two, one, ignition.

380
00:28:42,375 --> 00:28:47,542
Pressurization complete.

381
00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:03,332
NDEs are registering no

382
00:29:03,333 --> 00:29:05,666
micrometeoroid damage.

383
00:29:05,667 --> 00:29:09,499
She'll need the new parts to
address the damage from landing,

384
00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:11,165
but Cygnus brought
everything we need to

385
00:29:11,166 --> 00:29:15,917
get her flight-ready.

386
00:29:19,375 --> 00:29:23,040
How will it be?

387
00:29:23,041 --> 00:29:24,874
What's that?

388
00:29:24,875 --> 00:29:29,792
Going home.

389
00:29:32,041 --> 00:29:36,625
I'm already home.

390
00:29:54,875 --> 00:30:01,291
Marta...

391
00:30:02,583 --> 00:30:06,124
I thought you might
be interested in this.

392
00:30:06,125 --> 00:30:10,375
It was Paul's.

393
00:30:12,417 --> 00:30:17,500
I'd like you to have it.

394
00:30:31,792 --> 00:30:36,667
Is there anything
I can do to help?

395
00:30:51,333 --> 00:30:55,875
Thank you.

396
00:30:57,458 --> 00:30:59,624
When Paul was working on his

397
00:30:59,625 --> 00:31:01,708
early climate
resistant hybrid studies,

398
00:31:01,709 --> 00:31:06,040
I went with him to the
western highlands of Guatemala.

399
00:31:06,041 --> 00:31:09,124
We knew that if we didn't
plan our lives around our work

400
00:31:09,125 --> 00:31:11,791
we'd never see
each other at all.

401
00:31:11,792 --> 00:31:15,791
He was always gone,
sometimes weeks.

402
00:31:15,792 --> 00:31:18,624
Because on top of
his own research,

403
00:31:18,625 --> 00:31:21,040
he also decided that he could
figure out how this particular

404
00:31:21,041 --> 00:31:25,000
pathogen was spreading
through local communities,

405
00:31:25,001 --> 00:31:29,208
so I barely got to see him.

406
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:33,499
And I resented him for it.

407
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:36,332
It was as if, plants
were more important to him

408
00:31:36,333 --> 00:31:37,833
than human beings.

409
00:31:37,834 --> 00:31:42,750
Certainly to my mind,
more important than me.

410
00:31:43,750 --> 00:31:47,582
Eventually I understood
that for Paul,

411
00:31:47,583 --> 00:31:49,833
every time he looked
at those plants,

412
00:31:49,834 --> 00:31:54,666
he could see all the
people they could feed,

413
00:31:54,667 --> 00:31:59,500
all the people they could heal.

414
00:32:11,041 --> 00:32:13,749
So how did he figure it out?

415
00:32:13,750 --> 00:32:15,582
Figure what out?

416
00:32:15,583 --> 00:32:18,040
The pathogen.

417
00:32:18,041 --> 00:32:19,917
How was it spreading?

418
00:32:19,959 --> 00:32:22,207
Paul realized that the outbreak

419
00:32:22,208 --> 00:32:24,749
pattern followed the same
vectors as one of the airborne

420
00:32:24,750 --> 00:32:26,874
blights he'd been tracking.

421
00:32:26,875 --> 00:32:29,582
He'd also been mapping
these very complex wind flows

422
00:32:29,583 --> 00:32:31,916
from the mountains.

423
00:32:31,917 --> 00:32:36,541
And from that, he was able
to conclude that the pathogen

424
00:32:36,542 --> 00:32:39,708
must have mutated,
and it was able to survive

425
00:32:39,709 --> 00:32:44,207
in the air and travel on...

426
00:32:44,208 --> 00:32:47,124
The wind.

427
00:32:47,125 --> 00:32:50,667
Yeah.

428
00:32:56,083 --> 00:32:59,416
By executive order,
all non-evacuation related

429
00:32:59,417 --> 00:33:03,500
extra-vehicular activity
is now prohibited.

430
00:33:07,917 --> 00:33:11,500
The biggest
failure in history...

431
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:14,082
biggest failure in history.

432
00:33:14,083 --> 00:33:15,791
It's easy...

433
00:33:15,792 --> 00:33:17,082
yeah, easy.

434
00:33:17,083 --> 00:33:18,749
Four years of my life...

435
00:33:18,750 --> 00:33:21,082
20 years preparing.

436
00:33:21,083 --> 00:33:24,249
Very good and it's over.

437
00:33:24,250 --> 00:33:26,166
Hey.

438
00:33:52,333 --> 00:33:54,791
We'd be
looking for another location

439
00:33:54,792 --> 00:33:57,666
with moisture to replicate
the reaction use on the WAVAR

440
00:33:57,667 --> 00:34:02,083
so we'd be following
the wind patterns.

441
00:34:02,291 --> 00:34:04,457
Wind patterns.

442
00:34:04,458 --> 00:34:06,040
Javier and I found something.

443
00:34:06,041 --> 00:34:09,165
The samples were too
contaminated to analyze but I

444
00:34:09,166 --> 00:34:12,666
figured it blew in from the
east in the storm because of

445
00:34:12,667 --> 00:34:18,125
the easterly arc of the wind,
no way to track its source.

446
00:34:18,834 --> 00:34:22,165
Your story made me think.

447
00:34:22,166 --> 00:34:26,000
Even though I may not be able
to pinpoint where it came from,

448
00:34:26,001 --> 00:34:30,332
I can figure out where
else it might have blown to.

449
00:34:30,333 --> 00:34:32,999
The way the Tharsis Plateau
affects the wind flow,

450
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,833
it would have
blown straight into the

451
00:34:34,834 --> 00:34:36,874
recurring slope lineae.

452
00:34:36,875 --> 00:34:40,999
On these elevated bedrock
outcrops just to the west.

453
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,165
If there wasn't a moratorium on

454
00:34:43,166 --> 00:34:46,666
nonessential EVAs...

455
00:34:46,667 --> 00:34:50,959
What moratorium?

456
00:35:01,875 --> 00:35:07,207
The history
of space exploration begins

457
00:35:07,208 --> 00:35:12,959
with individuals taking
the road not taken,

458
00:35:15,375 --> 00:35:17,874
with people with a vision.

459
00:35:17,875 --> 00:35:19,958
I really never had any doubts

460
00:35:19,959 --> 00:35:22,207
that it was possible
to go to the Moon.

461
00:35:22,208 --> 00:35:23,874
Today I know.

462
00:35:23,875 --> 00:35:27,749
People being
able to see with their minds

463
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:32,375
what others had yet to be
able to see with their eyes.

464
00:35:32,917 --> 00:35:34,749
There is
a direct correlation between

465
00:35:34,750 --> 00:35:37,749
the dreams and the works
of science fiction

466
00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:39,749
and the reality.

467
00:35:39,750 --> 00:35:42,416
We as humans over and over
again create the future,

468
00:35:42,417 --> 00:35:44,249
we create the
future we envision.

469
00:35:44,250 --> 00:35:47,958
And then we bring to bear
our resources, our capital,

470
00:35:47,959 --> 00:35:49,791
our technology, our friendships,

471
00:35:49,792 --> 00:35:53,667
and then we make it real.

472
00:36:03,625 --> 00:36:05,499
What is this building called?

473
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:07,124
This is the launch tower,

474
00:36:07,125 --> 00:36:11,166
so this is where the
astronauts would go up,

475
00:36:11,458 --> 00:36:14,083
and then there would be a big
arm that would swing over to

476
00:36:14,125 --> 00:36:18,791
the spacecraft, and then
they'd walk down the gangway,

477
00:36:18,792 --> 00:36:22,750
climb in the
spacecraft, go to space.

478
00:36:25,667 --> 00:36:30,041
This isn't floors, this is feet.

479
00:36:30,792 --> 00:36:32,958
The long-term goal of
SpaceX is to establish a

480
00:36:32,959 --> 00:36:36,040
self-sustaining
civilization on Mars.

481
00:36:36,041 --> 00:36:39,542
Pretty cool.

482
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:43,624
It's always seemed like we
should have gone there by now,

483
00:36:43,625 --> 00:36:46,874
that's what everyone expected.

484
00:36:46,875 --> 00:36:49,374
We just kind of lost our way.

485
00:36:49,375 --> 00:36:51,708
It's a long way down.

486
00:36:51,709 --> 00:36:56,375
But now we're gonna
get back there.

487
00:36:57,001 --> 00:36:59,833
SpaceX Falcon 9 go for launch.

488
00:36:59,834 --> 00:37:02,040
Stage 1
tanks pressing for flight.

489
00:37:02,041 --> 00:37:04,666
Verify F9 is in startup.

490
00:37:04,667 --> 00:37:06,165
F9 is in startup.

491
00:37:06,166 --> 00:37:11,208
T-minus 4 minutes.

492
00:37:18,375 --> 00:37:21,165
SpaceX Falcon 9 go for launch.

493
00:37:21,166 --> 00:37:22,833
Vehicle's in manual.

494
00:37:22,834 --> 00:37:24,332
T-minus 1 minute.

495
00:37:24,333 --> 00:37:26,332
This is a
return to flight launch.

496
00:37:26,333 --> 00:37:30,917
We'd had a failed
mission on June 28 of 2015.

497
00:37:37,542 --> 00:37:41,040
After the failure, the whole
launch program ground to a halt.

498
00:37:41,041 --> 00:37:43,249
That obviously put a lot
of strain on the company.

499
00:37:43,250 --> 00:37:45,416
All stations
verify ready for launch.

500
00:37:45,417 --> 00:37:47,249
T-minus 30 seconds.

501
00:37:47,250 --> 00:37:50,582
Elon Musk
has said the key to get to Mars

502
00:37:50,583 --> 00:37:53,207
is the reusability of rockets.

503
00:37:53,208 --> 00:37:56,124
He wants to be able to
fire a rocket into orbit,

504
00:37:56,125 --> 00:37:59,582
launch a payload into space,
and then fire retro rockets

505
00:37:59,583 --> 00:38:04,582
and bring that rocket down to
land vertically, and reuse it.

506
00:38:04,583 --> 00:38:08,207
That's an extremely
difficult concept.

507
00:38:08,208 --> 00:38:12,958
If he cannot make rockets
truly reusable then he cannot

508
00:38:12,959 --> 00:38:15,959
launch a new
civilization on Mars.

509
00:38:19,583 --> 00:38:23,208
So the stakes for every
rocket launch are huge.

510
00:38:23,917 --> 00:38:25,749
T-minus 20 seconds.

511
00:38:25,750 --> 00:38:27,082
Stage Two tanks
pressing for flight.

512
00:38:27,083 --> 00:38:28,416
Flight computer has
control of the vehicle.

513
00:38:28,417 --> 00:38:30,249
Do we
see anything on the sensors

514
00:38:30,250 --> 00:38:31,416
that's a problem?

515
00:38:31,417 --> 00:38:32,916
No, nothing.

516
00:38:32,917 --> 00:38:35,125
They all say go for launch.

517
00:38:35,166 --> 00:38:39,166
T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...

518
00:38:39,792 --> 00:38:45,166
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.

519
00:39:00,792 --> 00:39:02,958
It's gone, baby.

520
00:39:02,959 --> 00:39:05,417
Let's go, check it out.

521
00:39:24,291 --> 00:39:28,624
Speed 1.2 kilometers down
range distance 11 kilometers.

522
00:39:28,625 --> 00:39:30,666
Shortly after main
engine cut off,

523
00:39:30,667 --> 00:39:32,624
we're going to
separate the stages and

524
00:39:32,625 --> 00:39:35,583
begin the second stage ignition.

525
00:39:38,458 --> 00:39:40,250
Come on.

526
00:39:46,834 --> 00:39:50,291
Main engine cut off.

527
00:39:50,709 --> 00:39:55,499
The first stage is returning
to land as the second stage

528
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:59,874
powers the OrbComm satellites
to low Earth orbit.

529
00:39:59,875 --> 00:40:05,083
The fairings have
successfully deployed.

530
00:40:09,875 --> 00:40:12,332
The first stage will soon
begin its series of three

531
00:40:12,333 --> 00:40:16,166
burns to head back
towards Cape Canaveral.

532
00:40:20,333 --> 00:40:22,332
Where is it going?

533
00:40:22,333 --> 00:40:25,541
Okay, this is bad.

534
00:40:25,542 --> 00:40:28,917
Potentially bad.

535
00:40:43,625 --> 00:40:46,207
That is that first
stage, coming back down.

536
00:40:46,208 --> 00:40:48,208
History in the making guys.

537
00:41:10,917 --> 00:41:13,667
It's standing up!

538
00:41:14,291 --> 00:41:16,916
Coming in, it sounded
like an explosion.

539
00:41:16,917 --> 00:41:18,582
Yeah man!

540
00:41:18,583 --> 00:41:21,082
My God!

541
00:41:21,083 --> 00:41:22,457
Look at this, look at this!

542
00:41:22,458 --> 00:41:25,916
It's just sitting
there, look at that.

543
00:41:25,917 --> 00:41:29,500
What... holy smokes man.

544
00:41:35,333 --> 00:41:37,416
It's kind of amazing that
this window of opportunity

545
00:41:37,417 --> 00:41:41,000
is open for life
to go beyond Earth.

546
00:41:41,001 --> 00:41:42,249
And we just don't
know how long that window

547
00:41:42,250 --> 00:41:45,249
is going to be open.

548
00:41:45,250 --> 00:41:48,499
The thing that gets me
most fired up is that creating

549
00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:51,165
a self-sustaining
civilization on Mars would be

550
00:41:51,166 --> 00:41:53,666
the greatest adventure ever...

551
00:41:53,667 --> 00:41:55,499
ever in human history.

552
00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:58,791
It would be so exciting to
wake up in the morning and

553
00:41:58,792 --> 00:42:03,667
think that that's
what's happening.

554
00:42:04,709 --> 00:42:07,666
Apollo is
still within living memory.

555
00:42:07,667 --> 00:42:11,709
Houston the Eagle has landed.

556
00:42:12,542 --> 00:42:17,124
But the longer
we let it fade into the past,

557
00:42:17,125 --> 00:42:20,709
the dimmer our prospects become.

558
00:42:22,333 --> 00:42:25,374
We do need to make discoveries,

559
00:42:25,375 --> 00:42:29,040
we do need to find out
the truth about life,

560
00:42:29,041 --> 00:42:30,792
and the universe.

561
00:42:30,834 --> 00:42:33,833
To resolve mysteries that
thinking men and women have

562
00:42:33,834 --> 00:42:37,000
wondered about for
thousands of years.

563
00:42:37,001 --> 00:42:39,374
Look up, look up!

564
00:42:39,375 --> 00:42:42,207
There's everything out there!

565
00:42:42,208 --> 00:42:45,499
There's trillions
of other Earths.

566
00:42:45,500 --> 00:42:49,207
That's why we're gonna do
it and the next time we go,

567
00:42:49,208 --> 00:42:51,750
we're gonna go to stay.

568
00:42:56,041 --> 00:42:57,666
The story
Leslie Richardson told me

569
00:42:57,667 --> 00:42:59,249
sparked a thought.

570
00:42:59,250 --> 00:43:03,749
Javier and I found something
at the old workshop.

571
00:43:03,750 --> 00:43:07,083
I need to go there.

572
00:43:07,333 --> 00:43:09,249
The wind
patterns lead to a location

573
00:43:09,250 --> 00:43:11,834
87 kilometers west
of Olympus Town.

574
00:43:11,875 --> 00:43:13,874
We hoped to find a
new sample of the substance.

575
00:43:13,875 --> 00:43:15,708
Marta found on the WAVARs.

576
00:43:15,709 --> 00:43:20,040
Leslie, have
you ever driven one of these?

577
00:43:20,041 --> 00:43:23,374
No, I haven't.

578
00:43:23,375 --> 00:43:26,040
Do you want to have a go?

579
00:43:26,041 --> 00:43:28,750
Come.

580
00:43:30,709 --> 00:43:33,708
We're here at
IMSF headquarters waiting for.

581
00:43:33,709 --> 00:43:36,416
Secretary Seung to make her
announcement regarding what we

582
00:43:36,417 --> 00:43:40,291
believe will be the end
of the Mars mission.

583
00:43:49,709 --> 00:43:53,582
We've come so far,

584
00:43:53,583 --> 00:43:58,458
we stop now
the Mars dream is dead.

585
00:45:03,125 --> 00:45:07,874
Today marks the end of an era,

586
00:45:07,875 --> 00:45:11,875
and the beginning of a new one.

587
00:45:28,166 --> 00:45:31,333
There is life on Mars.

588
00:45:41,709 --> 00:45:45,917
We had come so far.

589
00:45:47,875 --> 00:45:51,583
Overcome so many obstacles.

590
00:45:53,750 --> 00:45:56,332
And though there were times
when our faith flagged,

591
00:45:56,333 --> 00:45:59,917
we persevered.

592
00:46:03,375 --> 00:46:08,207
There would be no evacuation.

593
00:46:08,208 --> 00:46:10,207
And as we prepared
for the next phase,

594
00:46:10,208 --> 00:46:12,874
one thing was clear.

595
00:46:12,875 --> 00:46:14,750
Our dream was alive.
