1
00:00:09,256 --> 00:00:12,746
_
2
00:00:31,452 --> 00:00:33,791
Retro rockets are about to fire in.
3
00:00:38,146 --> 00:00:41,816
1, 2, 3, breathe. 1, 2, 3, breathe.
4
00:00:47,813 --> 00:00:49,575
We dream.
5
00:00:52,108 --> 00:00:53,842
It's who we are.
6
00:00:55,278 --> 00:00:58,484
Down to our bones, our cells.
7
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,345
That instinct to build.
8
00:01:01,652 --> 00:01:05,636
That drive to seek beyond what we know.
9
00:01:05,992 --> 00:01:07,656
It's in our DNA.
10
00:01:08,215 --> 00:01:10,358
We crossed the oceans,
11
00:01:11,972 --> 00:01:13,998
we conquered the skies.
12
00:01:16,195 --> 00:01:18,787
And when there were no
more frontiers on Earth
13
00:01:20,358 --> 00:01:22,882
we launched ourselves among the stars.
14
00:01:24,775 --> 00:01:27,701
We choose to go to
the Moon in this decade
15
00:01:27,732 --> 00:01:29,310
and do the other things,
16
00:01:29,556 --> 00:01:33,596
not because they are easy,
but because they are hard.
17
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,949
The heavens beckoned a new generation
18
00:01:37,967 --> 00:01:40,146
of innovators and explorers,
19
00:01:40,858 --> 00:01:44,069
seeking to take human kind even further.
20
00:01:45,726 --> 00:01:49,612
We can push out into the solar system.
21
00:01:50,828 --> 00:01:53,682
Not just to visit but to stay.
22
00:01:54,572 --> 00:01:57,200
That was when Mars
became real for all of us.
23
00:01:58,060 --> 00:01:59,485
And for those of us who were around
24
00:01:59,522 --> 00:02:01,763
to see the first days, it was...
25
00:02:02,075 --> 00:02:03,892
electrifying.
26
00:02:08,712 --> 00:02:10,388
The world's leading space agencies
27
00:02:10,394 --> 00:02:13,759
united as the International
Mars Science Foundation.
28
00:02:14,489 --> 00:02:18,571
And joined with private industry
to accomplish one shared goal.
29
00:02:19,547 --> 00:02:23,004
To build a home for humankind on Mars.
30
00:02:24,166 --> 00:02:26,717
People weren't just talking
about the red planet,
31
00:02:27,043 --> 00:02:29,788
they were making plans to go there.
32
00:02:30,653 --> 00:02:33,520
And after years of training
in the Astronaut Corps
33
00:02:33,993 --> 00:02:38,597
I was chosen to command the
first human mission to Mars.
34
00:02:41,824 --> 00:02:43,199
Wonder,
35
00:02:45,194 --> 00:02:46,692
- wonder.
- _
36
00:02:47,889 --> 00:02:50,574
For as long as we've
looked up at the night sky
37
00:02:50,897 --> 00:02:52,676
that is what we felt.
38
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,704
We named the planets
that hang among the stars
39
00:02:55,704 --> 00:02:57,276
after our gods.
40
00:02:57,396 --> 00:03:00,144
And gave them the same
power to control our fate.
41
00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:04,005
With the support of the
space-going nations of the IMSF
42
00:03:04,048 --> 00:03:06,399
the Mars Mission Corporation
43
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:10,327
has overcome the most
daunting engineering challenges
44
00:03:10,782 --> 00:03:13,238
our species has ever faced.
45
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,559
This allows the brave pioneers
46
00:03:17,044 --> 00:03:18,800
standing before you today,
47
00:03:19,107 --> 00:03:21,010
to bring humanity
48
00:03:21,409 --> 00:03:22,759
into a new era.
49
00:03:24,060 --> 00:03:26,810
We will no longer stare
and wonder at those planets
50
00:03:26,823 --> 00:03:28,702
we named for our gods.
51
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,207
But take our place among them.
52
00:03:46,682 --> 00:03:49,089
Ed Grann could sell anything,
53
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,420
but he was more than a salesman.
54
00:03:52,540 --> 00:03:54,645
He was brilliant.
55
00:03:55,377 --> 00:03:58,778
_
56
00:04:00,018 --> 00:04:03,241
She's 14 stories base to nose.
57
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,312
That's a fancy jacket you got today Ed.
58
00:04:08,208 --> 00:04:10,836
_
59
00:04:10,874 --> 00:04:12,745
_
60
00:04:12,776 --> 00:04:15,016
_
61
00:04:16,379 --> 00:04:18,423
And as much as any of us,
62
00:04:18,736 --> 00:04:20,302
he was a believer.
63
00:04:21,604 --> 00:04:24,182
He promised the world he
would give us the technology
64
00:04:24,188 --> 00:04:26,484
we needed to leave our home,
65
00:04:27,153 --> 00:04:29,443
and build a new one.
66
00:04:30,393 --> 00:04:32,520
And he delivered.
67
00:04:35,417 --> 00:04:36,860
This is it.
68
00:04:37,424 --> 00:04:39,002
Daedalus.
69
00:04:40,298 --> 00:04:42,127
Take good care of her,
70
00:04:42,797 --> 00:04:45,006
she'll take good care of you.
71
00:04:48,217 --> 00:04:50,040
She's your ship now.
72
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:14,982
Drives better than a Cadillac.
73
00:05:18,966 --> 00:05:21,268
But that shine isn't gonna last.
74
00:05:23,711 --> 00:05:26,450
Over the next 7 months your
bodies are gonna be exposed
75
00:05:26,462 --> 00:05:29,409
to nearly 200 times the
dose of a normal year's
76
00:05:29,427 --> 00:05:31,993
worth of radiation exposure on Earth.
77
00:05:32,515 --> 00:05:35,161
Calcium will leach from your bones
78
00:05:35,198 --> 00:05:37,359
which will lose nearly 10% of their mass
79
00:05:37,383 --> 00:05:39,201
before you even get to Mars.
80
00:05:39,667 --> 00:05:42,828
There is no test that can
tell you whether or not
81
00:05:42,846 --> 00:05:45,664
the notion of being 60
million kilometers away
82
00:05:45,664 --> 00:05:47,506
from the planet on which you were born
83
00:05:47,518 --> 00:05:49,936
can shatter your mind in so many pieces.
84
00:05:50,961 --> 00:05:53,539
Some of us if not all of us
85
00:05:54,546 --> 00:05:57,750
will almost certainly
die on this mission.
86
00:05:59,592 --> 00:06:01,765
Might be in takeoff,
might be in landing,
87
00:06:01,801 --> 00:06:04,024
might be in the new world itself.
88
00:06:05,209 --> 00:06:07,486
Now you all are the bravest group
89
00:06:07,517 --> 00:06:10,231
of women and men I have ever met.
90
00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:14,626
I'm damn proud to be here with you.
91
00:06:16,947 --> 00:06:19,580
But right now I want you
to stop and ask yourself
92
00:06:19,623 --> 00:06:24,093
what really is important
to you about this mission.
93
00:06:27,868 --> 00:06:30,054
And if the answer to
that question is not
94
00:06:30,072 --> 00:06:33,320
the most important thing in your life
95
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,666
then I'm gonna invite
you to walk out that door
96
00:06:35,709 --> 00:06:37,809
and go pursue whatever that thing is.
97
00:06:38,779 --> 00:06:41,799
And don't ever look back, because no one
98
00:06:41,805 --> 00:06:44,954
will ever have the right
to hold it against you.
99
00:06:46,569 --> 00:06:49,062
Daedalus, you're a go for launch
100
00:06:49,099 --> 00:06:51,898
in T-minus 17 seconds and counting.
101
00:06:52,371 --> 00:06:54,508
Mission analytic executor,
102
00:06:54,514 --> 00:06:57,271
you have primary control of
all the critical functions.
103
00:06:57,498 --> 00:06:59,389
Mae, the ship is yours.
104
00:06:59,509 --> 00:07:01,175
I am in control.
105
00:07:01,177 --> 00:07:02,574
The launch of Daedalus
106
00:07:02,611 --> 00:07:06,645
was the beginning of our
historic 7-month journey to Mars.
107
00:07:11,163 --> 00:07:13,895
But it wasn't easy to
reach the red planet.
108
00:07:14,858 --> 00:07:17,573
We needed visionaries to guide the way.
109
00:07:21,828 --> 00:07:25,433
Mars and Earth are sister planets.
110
00:07:26,187 --> 00:07:28,803
The young Mars had rivers and lakes,
111
00:07:28,805 --> 00:07:31,006
it even had an ocean.
112
00:07:31,392 --> 00:07:33,975
If there was water on Mars,
113
00:07:34,095 --> 00:07:36,477
couldn't there possibly be life?
114
00:07:36,597 --> 00:07:38,228
Is it habitable?
115
00:07:38,348 --> 00:07:40,386
If you really want to understand,
116
00:07:40,411 --> 00:07:44,383
we want to, need to, go to Mars.
117
00:07:45,752 --> 00:07:47,053
We need to go to Mars
118
00:07:47,090 --> 00:07:49,417
because it protects us from extinction.
119
00:07:50,104 --> 00:07:52,461
There's all sorts of things
that could happen on Earth
120
00:07:52,474 --> 00:07:54,695
that can kill all the
humans on the planet.
121
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,342
But once humans are on
two different planets
122
00:07:57,373 --> 00:08:00,314
the odds of extinction
drop to nearly zero.
123
00:08:01,071 --> 00:08:03,753
Getting to Mars will be risky,
124
00:08:03,873 --> 00:08:05,176
dangerous,
125
00:08:05,378 --> 00:08:06,741
uncomfortable.
126
00:08:07,398 --> 00:08:10,745
But it will be the
greatest adventure ever.
127
00:08:10,865 --> 00:08:12,856
Ever in human history.
128
00:08:24,914 --> 00:08:26,424
This is hallowed ground,
129
00:08:27,277 --> 00:08:29,487
it's called Launchpad 39A,
130
00:08:30,837 --> 00:08:35,263
and it's the place that
the first humans left Earth,
131
00:08:36,724 --> 00:08:38,983
then went to another heavenly body.
132
00:08:40,119 --> 00:08:43,139
So this is um, I think, probably,
133
00:08:43,176 --> 00:08:45,189
I think it's the greatest
launchsite on Earth.
134
00:08:46,405 --> 00:08:48,909
Buzz Aldrin, Mike
Collins, Neil Armstrong
135
00:08:48,928 --> 00:08:52,813
get into the transfer van to Pad 39A.
136
00:08:54,054 --> 00:08:57,492
Pad 39A was used for
the Apollo 11 mission,
137
00:08:57,799 --> 00:09:00,322
and then with the space shuttle.
138
00:09:02,367 --> 00:09:07,008
So it's a place with incredible
historical significance.
139
00:09:08,270 --> 00:09:11,477
Now NASA has given Launchpad 39A
140
00:09:11,514 --> 00:09:13,491
to SpaceX to use.
141
00:09:14,576 --> 00:09:17,781
The long term goal of SpaceX
is to develop the technology
142
00:09:17,824 --> 00:09:21,495
necessary to establish a
self-sustaining city on Mars.
143
00:09:25,682 --> 00:09:28,021
SpaceX's primary mission is absolutely
144
00:09:28,021 --> 00:09:30,692
to make life interplanetary.
145
00:09:31,250 --> 00:09:33,166
We can explore the universe,
146
00:09:33,202 --> 00:09:34,842
we can put a colony on Mars.
147
00:09:34,903 --> 00:09:36,585
People can be interplanetary
148
00:09:36,622 --> 00:09:39,041
and it's just an engineering
problem like any other.
149
00:09:39,435 --> 00:09:41,810
It just takes a group
of people who care a lot,
150
00:09:41,822 --> 00:09:44,235
and are happy to work really
hard to make that happen.
151
00:09:46,979 --> 00:09:48,961
When Elon Musk decided
152
00:09:49,004 --> 00:09:51,448
"I'm gonna go off and build
my own rocket company",
153
00:09:51,714 --> 00:09:53,683
everyone thought he was crazy.
154
00:09:53,701 --> 00:09:55,165
Everyone laughed at him.
155
00:09:55,285 --> 00:09:59,268
Now SpaceX has a better
record launching things
156
00:09:59,289 --> 00:10:02,439
than practically any
rocket company in the world.
157
00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:05,617
They have a contract
from NASA to deliver
158
00:10:05,647 --> 00:10:08,331
very essential supplies
to the space station.
159
00:10:08,331 --> 00:10:11,099
Dragon spacecraft now the first-ever
160
00:10:11,136 --> 00:10:14,918
commercial spacecraft to visit
the International Space Station.
161
00:10:15,038 --> 00:10:17,780
They have investors, they
have to have revenues,
162
00:10:18,068 --> 00:10:21,739
they want the business of
launching billion dollar satellites.
163
00:10:21,859 --> 00:10:24,578
At the same time, they're
focused on launching
164
00:10:24,597 --> 00:10:26,180
a new civilization on Mars.
165
00:10:26,182 --> 00:10:30,146
So the stakes for every
rocket launch are huge.
166
00:10:31,276 --> 00:10:33,358
I think it's important
for us to try to get
167
00:10:33,387 --> 00:10:36,962
to a self-sustaining situation
on Mars as soon as possible.
168
00:10:37,232 --> 00:10:40,071
SpaceX, Falcon9 and
Dragon are go for launch.
169
00:10:40,302 --> 00:10:41,729
T-minus 30 seconds.
170
00:10:42,045 --> 00:10:43,764
Because either we're gonna become
171
00:10:43,766 --> 00:10:46,814
a multi-planet species and
a space-faring civilization,
172
00:10:47,050 --> 00:10:48,567
or we're gonna be stuck on one planet
173
00:10:48,571 --> 00:10:50,290
until some eventual extinction event.
174
00:10:50,506 --> 00:10:51,685
T-minus 20.
175
00:10:51,749 --> 00:10:52,761
In order for me to be
176
00:10:52,786 --> 00:10:54,706
excited and inspired about the future,
177
00:10:54,937 --> 00:10:56,126
it's gotta be the first option.
178
00:10:56,199 --> 00:10:58,321
It's gotta be: We're gonna be
a space-faring civilization.
179
00:10:58,842 --> 00:11:04,121
T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
180
00:11:04,495 --> 00:11:10,271
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
181
00:11:12,060 --> 00:11:13,507
What am I ready for?
182
00:11:13,557 --> 00:11:16,444
I'm ready to be one of
the first human beings
183
00:11:16,872 --> 00:11:18,232
to go to Mars. I mean,
184
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:21,242
could you imagine that?
185
00:11:24,237 --> 00:11:25,606
That's like a dream.
186
00:11:25,769 --> 00:11:28,912
I think Amelia Earhart
once said that "adventure
187
00:11:29,032 --> 00:11:31,343
is worthwhile in itself."
188
00:11:31,667 --> 00:11:33,690
Uh, it could be that.
189
00:11:34,309 --> 00:11:35,999
If we don't succeed
190
00:11:36,249 --> 00:11:39,682
we still paved the path
for people after us to come,
191
00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:42,127
and follow our lead.
192
00:11:42,937 --> 00:11:46,527
Becoming an interplanetary species is,
193
00:11:46,875 --> 00:11:49,037
it's our best chance to guarantee
194
00:11:49,071 --> 00:11:51,599
humankind's long-term survival.
195
00:11:51,841 --> 00:11:55,692
And, getting to be
part of that it's just.
196
00:11:56,546 --> 00:11:57,814
I mean it's...
197
00:11:58,973 --> 00:12:00,407
It's everything.
198
00:12:03,373 --> 00:12:04,954
Yeah it is.
199
00:12:06,452 --> 00:12:08,868
We've got the opportunity to
200
00:12:08,947 --> 00:12:11,598
ensure that humankind continues.
201
00:12:12,306 --> 00:12:14,689
You know, we've been training
for this half our lives.
202
00:12:14,875 --> 00:12:17,251
And we've been dreaming
about it even longer.
203
00:12:17,295 --> 00:12:19,407
We're ready to give
everything for thismission
204
00:12:19,451 --> 00:12:21,239
you know, all of us are.
205
00:12:21,307 --> 00:12:22,417
We are coming to you
206
00:12:22,442 --> 00:12:25,565
from the International Mars
Science Foundation headquarters,
207
00:12:25,585 --> 00:12:26,994
in Vienna, Austria.
208
00:12:27,029 --> 00:12:29,952
With live coverage from the
Mars Mission Corporation's
209
00:12:29,972 --> 00:12:31,848
mission control center in London,
210
00:12:31,892 --> 00:12:34,506
and an optical feed
from the Daedalus itself,
211
00:12:34,626 --> 00:12:37,016
at a 10 minute, 20 second delay.
212
00:12:42,874 --> 00:12:45,807
We had survived a 209-day journey
213
00:12:45,836 --> 00:12:47,337
through deep space.
214
00:12:47,605 --> 00:12:50,959
But landing a 14-story ship safely,
215
00:12:51,009 --> 00:12:54,343
upright, and on target
on the surface of Mars?
216
00:12:55,467 --> 00:12:58,875
That was a whole different
kind of challenge.
217
00:13:06,512 --> 00:13:07,706
Um,
218
00:13:08,987 --> 00:13:11,143
by the time this message reaches you,
219
00:13:12,597 --> 00:13:16,353
whatever is about to happen already has.
220
00:13:18,814 --> 00:13:21,569
If all went as planned then we are
221
00:13:21,584 --> 00:13:25,042
touched down at the
base camp, we are docked
222
00:13:26,284 --> 00:13:28,902
and we're ready to begin
the most exciting phase
223
00:13:28,931 --> 00:13:31,573
of scientific exploration
in human history.
224
00:13:35,615 --> 00:13:37,103
And if we haven't,
225
00:13:40,162 --> 00:13:42,206
we went into the darkness
226
00:13:43,925 --> 00:13:46,213
so that you could find the light.
227
00:13:48,187 --> 00:13:50,104
This is for you, Dad.
228
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,209
On my mark.
229
00:14:03,104 --> 00:14:05,098
Begin entry sequence.
230
00:14:07,936 --> 00:14:09,110
Mark.
231
00:14:09,370 --> 00:14:11,796
EDL sequence engaged.
232
00:14:13,024 --> 00:14:15,154
You ready for this?
233
00:14:16,045 --> 00:14:18,003
Are you?
234
00:14:21,831 --> 00:14:24,663
Put your helmets on and seal your kits.
235
00:14:33,702 --> 00:14:35,781
Daedalus descent to the surface
236
00:14:35,819 --> 00:14:42,427
has been initiated at
425 kilometers altitude.
237
00:14:43,087 --> 00:14:45,406
By the time this message reaches you,
238
00:14:45,526 --> 00:14:49,172
whatever is about to happen already has.
239
00:14:49,387 --> 00:14:51,197
If all went as planned,
240
00:14:51,228 --> 00:14:53,108
we are touched down at the base camp,
241
00:14:53,149 --> 00:14:55,135
we are docked and we're ready to begin
242
00:14:55,151 --> 00:14:58,801
the most exciting phase of scientific
exploration in human history.
243
00:14:59,647 --> 00:15:00,967
And if we haven't...
244
00:15:00,990 --> 00:15:02,626
9 minutes 30 seconds till landing.
245
00:15:02,644 --> 00:15:04,885
... know that we went into the darkness
246
00:15:05,495 --> 00:15:07,212
so that you could find the light.
247
00:15:10,239 --> 00:15:12,132
Vector is good.
248
00:15:12,191 --> 00:15:14,376
.05 G's,
249
00:15:15,831 --> 00:15:17,575
.1 G's.
250
00:15:24,397 --> 00:15:26,945
- Warning.
- Pyros didn't fire.
251
00:15:26,983 --> 00:15:29,351
Reaction control system error.
252
00:15:29,757 --> 00:15:31,721
Lift vector requires correction.
253
00:15:31,727 --> 00:15:33,501
RCS thrusters are offline.
254
00:15:34,312 --> 00:15:36,337
Check the backup computer.
255
00:15:36,620 --> 00:15:39,038
Backup also showing RCS is offline.
256
00:15:39,106 --> 00:15:40,377
This thing is real.
257
00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:43,317
RCS thruster electrical board offline.
258
00:15:43,437 --> 00:15:46,479
Propellant valves have
not been commanded to open.
259
00:15:47,069 --> 00:15:48,851
The thrusters can't fire.
260
00:15:48,886 --> 00:15:52,962
Recommend immediate manual
replacement to 40 circuits.
261
00:15:53,009 --> 00:15:55,988
- I'll get down there and check it out.
- No, this is mine.
262
00:15:56,317 --> 00:15:58,645
Do a fault tree and talk
me through it on comm.
263
00:15:59,215 --> 00:16:00,787
You're going to have to work fast.
264
00:16:00,806 --> 00:16:02,172
I got it.
265
00:16:03,965 --> 00:16:07,408
Warning seat belt harness released.
266
00:16:17,232 --> 00:16:19,013
Failure identified.
267
00:16:21,204 --> 00:16:22,854
- Found it.
- Talk to me.
268
00:16:22,888 --> 00:16:25,968
It's a failure in bus 4-15-48,
269
00:16:26,012 --> 00:16:28,183
aft-starboard terminal.
270
00:16:28,203 --> 00:16:30,659
4-15-48, copy that.
271
00:16:30,693 --> 00:16:33,164
It's the pyro initiation circuit,
272
00:16:33,222 --> 00:16:36,292
4-3-6-double-bravo.
273
00:16:36,542 --> 00:16:38,757
Moving out of micro-G.
274
00:16:39,557 --> 00:16:44,333
Woah, OK, we got a bit of gravity here.
275
00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:46,226
Ah, wow.
276
00:16:46,346 --> 00:16:48,862
The failure must have
affected the whole bundle.
277
00:16:49,052 --> 00:16:51,724
71 seconds before
we're outside the window
278
00:16:51,734 --> 00:16:53,409
for guidance to correct.
279
00:16:53,669 --> 00:16:55,673
I'm gonna need you to
give me the number again.
280
00:16:55,693 --> 00:16:58,031
4-3-6-double-bravo.
281
00:16:58,151 --> 00:17:00,020
There we go.
282
00:17:04,032 --> 00:17:07,196
Warning thrust still inactive,
283
00:17:07,421 --> 00:17:11,359
60 seconds remaining to
restore reaction control system
284
00:17:11,408 --> 00:17:13,703
before landing is compromised.
285
00:17:13,726 --> 00:17:16,703
Ah, the short cooked
all four connections,
286
00:17:16,733 --> 00:17:18,982
I'm going to have to
cannibalize a replacement.
287
00:17:19,061 --> 00:17:21,684
Mae, identify a PCB
with matching electronics
288
00:17:21,689 --> 00:17:24,614
to board 4-36-double-bravo.
289
00:17:24,911 --> 00:17:27,764
Cruise altitude control thruster pyro
290
00:17:27,808 --> 00:17:32,209
initiation circuit
board Mike-Sierra-5-15-48
291
00:17:32,234 --> 00:17:34,953
- is identical.
- Mike-Sierra-5-15-48,
292
00:17:34,953 --> 00:17:36,373
Roger that.
293
00:17:36,641 --> 00:17:39,001
15 seconds left to correct.
294
00:17:39,634 --> 00:17:41,797
I'm switching the board now.
295
00:17:41,917 --> 00:17:44,246
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
296
00:17:44,467 --> 00:17:45,947
There you go.
297
00:17:46,370 --> 00:17:50,422
Warning, window for
correction is closing in 10.
298
00:17:50,483 --> 00:17:52,542
Thrusters are still
offline! What are we missing?
299
00:17:52,662 --> 00:17:55,084
- Talk to me.
- 9, 8, 7, 6.
300
00:17:55,097 --> 00:18:00,634
- What am I looking for?
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
301
00:18:07,635 --> 00:18:10,075
Landing on Mars is really tough.
302
00:18:10,366 --> 00:18:14,012
We can put a one-ton
rover down on the ground,
303
00:18:15,993 --> 00:18:18,134
but that's all we can do right now.
304
00:18:18,254 --> 00:18:20,541
And for humans to be able to go to Mars,
305
00:18:20,727 --> 00:18:22,854
we're gonna need 40 ton.
306
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:25,565
Our big challenge is indeed
307
00:18:25,614 --> 00:18:27,883
what it takes to get
down to the surface.
308
00:18:28,144 --> 00:18:30,001
Mars has an atmosphere,
309
00:18:30,217 --> 00:18:32,977
but it's not enough to really stop you
310
00:18:33,149 --> 00:18:37,315
so consequently you have
to really use retro-rockets,
311
00:18:37,536 --> 00:18:40,704
parachutes, bladed shields,
312
00:18:40,753 --> 00:18:43,430
you have every tool in the arsenal
313
00:18:43,458 --> 00:18:45,619
that we can throw at it
is what it's going to take
314
00:18:45,634 --> 00:18:47,535
to get humans down on the ground.
315
00:18:49,371 --> 00:18:51,208
One of the most radical ideas
316
00:18:51,218 --> 00:18:54,906
that SpaceX has to lower
this horrendous cost
317
00:18:54,922 --> 00:18:58,178
of getting into space is reusability.
318
00:18:58,298 --> 00:19:01,037
Elon Musk wants to be able
to fire a rocket into orbit,
319
00:19:01,257 --> 00:19:03,413
launch a payload into space
320
00:19:03,443 --> 00:19:05,073
and then fire retro rockets,
321
00:19:05,103 --> 00:19:09,115
and bring that rocket down to
land vertically and reuse it.
322
00:19:09,867 --> 00:19:12,357
And part of this whole
idea of reusability
323
00:19:12,391 --> 00:19:14,302
is to develop a system
324
00:19:14,341 --> 00:19:16,320
where you can leave Earth orbit,
325
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,825
go to Mars and actually physically land
326
00:19:18,855 --> 00:19:20,200
the rocket on Mars.
327
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,217
3, 2, 1, liftoff!
328
00:19:24,934 --> 00:19:26,618
This is a very hard problem
329
00:19:26,620 --> 00:19:29,341
because you better enter
the Mars atmosphere at
330
00:19:29,385 --> 00:19:32,424
an incredibly blazing fast speed.
331
00:19:33,981 --> 00:19:35,965
Mars atmosphere is so thin that
332
00:19:35,985 --> 00:19:38,396
by the time you hit the ground
if you didn't start the engines,
333
00:19:38,431 --> 00:19:40,100
you'd still be supersonic,
334
00:19:40,135 --> 00:19:44,229
so you've got to basically point
the engines into the wind at Mach 3,
335
00:19:44,995 --> 00:19:47,604
you gotta fire the rockets into
336
00:19:47,825 --> 00:19:49,706
the supersonic airstream,
337
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,845
zero out your blast speed,
338
00:19:51,860 --> 00:19:53,972
deploy landing gear and land.
339
00:19:55,126 --> 00:19:56,928
And you got one shot.
340
00:19:59,270 --> 00:20:01,455
But rockets there really
don't want to work,
341
00:20:02,079 --> 00:20:04,190
like there's a thousand
ways that a rocket can fail
342
00:20:04,215 --> 00:20:06,008
and one way it can succeed.
343
00:20:23,865 --> 00:20:25,481
Who is Joon Seung?
344
00:20:26,065 --> 00:20:27,326
She's my twin,
345
00:20:29,114 --> 00:20:31,035
she's cap comm at mission control.
346
00:20:36,192 --> 00:20:37,838
It wouldn't be easy for
me to do this mission
347
00:20:37,860 --> 00:20:39,988
without her having
my back on the ground.
348
00:20:41,390 --> 00:20:43,091
Mae ID'd a faulty pyro circuit,
349
00:20:43,130 --> 00:20:44,344
they're working it now.
350
00:20:44,729 --> 00:20:45,904
You mean they were working it
351
00:20:45,916 --> 00:20:47,471
10 minutes and 20 seconds ago.
352
00:20:47,762 --> 00:20:50,802
Delay or no, RCS status
is still negative.
353
00:20:51,019 --> 00:20:52,654
I have Ben below deck.
354
00:20:52,689 --> 00:20:53,738
Found it.
355
00:20:53,745 --> 00:20:55,665
- Talk to me.
- Mae found him a match.
356
00:20:56,746 --> 00:20:58,622
- There's something else.
- Communications are in and out.
357
00:20:59,619 --> 00:21:01,402
Initial failure was mitigated,
358
00:21:01,522 --> 00:21:03,464
but thrusters are still not operational.
359
00:21:03,833 --> 00:21:04,938
I got it,
360
00:21:05,058 --> 00:21:07,394
the RCS temperature
reading is incorrect;
361
00:21:07,434 --> 00:21:08,991
The sensor isn't showing as faulty.
362
00:21:09,111 --> 00:21:10,892
By the time they receive a transmission
363
00:21:10,897 --> 00:21:12,524
it will be too late.
364
00:21:12,826 --> 00:21:14,983
We just have to hope they found it too.
365
00:21:15,253 --> 00:21:17,586
If this goes to hell
on the live broadcast,
366
00:21:17,797 --> 00:21:20,061
IMSF may never give us another shot.
367
00:21:20,827 --> 00:21:23,002
If they missed that window
by more than a few seconds,
368
00:21:23,022 --> 00:21:25,281
they're going to shoot
right past the landing site.
369
00:21:25,507 --> 00:21:27,788
- I'm switching the board now.
- Without thrusters,
370
00:21:27,792 --> 00:21:30,196
they won't be able to
re-orient for retropropulsion.
371
00:21:30,227 --> 00:21:32,015
They'll have no way to
slow down for landing.
372
00:21:33,342 --> 00:21:34,895
Thrusters are still offline.
373
00:21:35,146 --> 00:21:36,584
Eyes and ears, Hana.
374
00:21:36,620 --> 00:21:37,936
What are we missing?
375
00:21:38,118 --> 00:21:39,570
Eyes and ears.
376
00:21:39,853 --> 00:21:41,197
What am I looking for?
377
00:21:41,350 --> 00:21:42,613
Mae hasn't found it.
378
00:21:42,733 --> 00:21:44,522
We're outside the window for correction.
379
00:21:44,746 --> 00:21:46,891
Reporting all systems nominal.
380
00:21:46,893 --> 00:21:48,803
- I don't see anything.
- Nothing.
381
00:21:48,806 --> 00:21:50,323
- Listen!
- 4 minutes 4 seconds.
382
00:21:50,358 --> 00:21:52,542
- Board is in.
- It's the RCS temp sensor.
383
00:21:52,555 --> 00:21:54,067
Backup system is offline.
384
00:21:54,070 --> 00:21:56,414
The backup sensor is
reading near nominal, Ben,
385
00:21:56,436 --> 00:21:58,733
permission to switch
from primary to backup.
386
00:21:58,771 --> 00:22:00,954
- We're too close to SRP!
- Do it.
387
00:22:00,988 --> 00:22:02,197
Ben you won't make it back
388
00:22:02,209 --> 00:22:03,852
to the flight deck for orientation!
389
00:22:04,108 --> 00:22:05,419
We have to abort!
390
00:22:05,539 --> 00:22:08,888
- I said do it!
- Warning, landing hazard.
391
00:22:08,949 --> 00:22:11,894
- Go.
- Recommend engaging abort.
392
00:22:11,913 --> 00:22:12,846
Engaged.
393
00:22:12,876 --> 00:22:17,309
RCS thrust is engaged,
three minutes 48 seconds.
394
00:22:17,429 --> 00:22:19,052
If Ben isn't back on deck soon
395
00:22:19,057 --> 00:22:20,845
he's going to lose
consciousness from the G's;
396
00:22:21,134 --> 00:22:23,127
he could end up down
there during landing.
397
00:22:23,561 --> 00:22:26,473
That's it Ben, your
blood pressure is good.
398
00:22:26,488 --> 00:22:28,916
You know the
countermeasures. Do the drill.
399
00:22:28,935 --> 00:22:30,050
OK.
400
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,259
I'm watching your vitals, Ben.
401
00:22:31,534 --> 00:22:32,863
You can do this.
402
00:22:32,910 --> 00:22:34,010
His blood pressure is stable,
403
00:22:34,030 --> 00:22:36,493
but his heart rate and
breathing are climbing fast,
404
00:22:36,613 --> 00:22:38,882
he's not getting enough
blood to his head.
405
00:22:40,405 --> 00:22:42,522
The G's are climbing too fast!
406
00:22:44,020 --> 00:22:45,498
You're doing great Ben,
407
00:22:45,523 --> 00:22:46,937
tell me what you see.
408
00:22:47,001 --> 00:22:48,753
My periphery is closing in.
409
00:22:48,755 --> 00:22:50,370
5.0.
410
00:22:50,822 --> 00:22:53,525
- Tighten your abdomen.
- 5.1.
411
00:22:53,580 --> 00:22:56,221
That's it Ben, blow it out hard.
412
00:22:56,771 --> 00:22:58,217
1, 2, 3 breathe!
413
00:22:58,272 --> 00:22:59,309
Again!
414
00:22:59,470 --> 00:23:01,811
1, 2, 3, breathe, again.
415
00:23:01,992 --> 00:23:03,968
Guidance can't sufficiently compensate.
416
00:23:03,984 --> 00:23:06,180
We don't have enough control authority.
417
00:23:06,196 --> 00:23:07,556
Prepare for retropropulsion!
418
00:23:07,587 --> 00:23:09,924
1, 2, 3, breathe, again,
419
00:23:10,305 --> 00:23:12,089
1, 2, 3, breathe.
420
00:23:12,913 --> 00:23:15,475
1, 2, 3, breathe, again,
421
00:23:15,785 --> 00:23:18,149
- 1, 2, 3, breathe!
- Counter thrusters are about to fire!
422
00:23:18,321 --> 00:23:20,251
10, 9.
423
00:23:20,271 --> 00:23:21,498
Ben has lost consciousness!
424
00:23:21,513 --> 00:23:23,410
- 8, 7.
- I'm going down.
425
00:23:23,459 --> 00:23:25,101
- 6, 5.
- There's nothing you can do!
426
00:23:25,221 --> 00:23:29,132
4, 3, 2, 1.
427
00:23:29,624 --> 00:23:32,286
Fore and aft jets firing.
428
00:23:34,030 --> 00:23:36,147
Beginning reorientation maneuver!
429
00:23:36,751 --> 00:23:41,622
- Hang on!
- SRP in 3, 2, 1.
430
00:23:47,761 --> 00:23:49,710
Ben's vitals went offline,
431
00:23:49,715 --> 00:23:52,251
- I'm not getting any feedback!
- Radar acquisition.
432
00:23:52,252 --> 00:23:54,808
Terrain relative navigation initiated.
433
00:23:55,226 --> 00:23:56,925
Divert maneuver initiated.
434
00:23:56,964 --> 00:23:58,359
Constant velocity descent.
435
00:23:58,363 --> 00:23:59,552
Still offline.
436
00:23:59,626 --> 00:24:01,207
Begin throttle down,
437
00:24:02,209 --> 00:24:03,907
prep for final descent.
438
00:24:05,567 --> 00:24:07,384
We're coming in too fast!
439
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,667
Angle is off.
440
00:24:09,669 --> 00:24:11,255
All systems to compensate.
441
00:24:11,265 --> 00:24:12,772
We have to correct. Throttle down,
442
00:24:13,298 --> 00:24:14,859
throttle down now!
443
00:24:16,063 --> 00:24:17,482
Come on.
444
00:24:21,657 --> 00:24:23,414
Opticals are all offline;
445
00:24:23,774 --> 00:24:25,600
I've got nothing on audio either.
446
00:24:39,363 --> 00:24:41,401
We should have heard from them by now.
447
00:24:57,653 --> 00:24:59,032
Hana, what is it that you'll miss
448
00:24:59,052 --> 00:25:00,280
most about Earth?
449
00:25:00,859 --> 00:25:02,372
I'll miss my sister.
450
00:25:03,055 --> 00:25:05,309
My mother raised us on her own
451
00:25:05,623 --> 00:25:07,642
and she was army so we
were constantly moving
452
00:25:07,648 --> 00:25:09,063
from place to place and
453
00:25:09,095 --> 00:25:12,018
never really had much of a
concept of what home meant.
454
00:25:12,387 --> 00:25:13,700
Come on, sis.
455
00:25:13,778 --> 00:25:15,770
I think for me and Joon,
456
00:25:16,477 --> 00:25:19,400
I think for us it's
more about what happens
457
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,152
after we get there.
458
00:25:22,598 --> 00:25:23,942
What about you Dr. Kamen,
459
00:25:23,950 --> 00:25:25,183
can you talk a little
bit about the things
460
00:25:25,191 --> 00:25:27,002
you'll miss about home?
461
00:25:29,179 --> 00:25:30,829
What will I miss if I don't go?
462
00:25:34,083 --> 00:25:36,283
It's hard just to leave your family,
463
00:25:37,025 --> 00:25:40,722
I'm gonna miss their voices but,
464
00:25:42,344 --> 00:25:44,261
I know what I'm doing
465
00:25:44,913 --> 00:25:46,937
and I know what I'm leaving behind.
466
00:25:48,536 --> 00:25:50,736
There is a beach in
Victoria Island, Lagos.
467
00:25:50,814 --> 00:25:53,195
I used to sleep on the sand
468
00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:55,517
and wake up with salt around my nose.
469
00:25:56,193 --> 00:25:58,672
We are going to be breathing
recycled air for a long time,
470
00:25:59,832 --> 00:26:03,607
I have a feeling I would trade
my last thermos-stabilized
471
00:26:03,727 --> 00:26:05,462
tapioca pudding
472
00:26:07,399 --> 00:26:09,489
for a taste of that ocean air.
473
00:26:11,631 --> 00:26:14,876
If humankind find a
way to come together and
474
00:26:14,894 --> 00:26:17,728
move toward a healthy evolution,
475
00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:20,490
this mission will have been
476
00:26:20,514 --> 00:26:24,554
about more than just finding
another place to live.
477
00:26:25,410 --> 00:26:26,797
When did you first know you wanted
478
00:26:26,797 --> 00:26:28,156
to become an astronaut?
479
00:26:28,276 --> 00:26:29,947
As far back as I can remember.
480
00:26:29,983 --> 00:26:31,794
I wanted to go into space.
481
00:26:32,312 --> 00:26:34,126
I used to lay out under the sky
482
00:26:34,158 --> 00:26:35,694
when I was a child and just
483
00:26:35,969 --> 00:26:37,800
memorize the stars.
484
00:26:39,297 --> 00:26:41,341
Right from then I always wanted to
485
00:26:41,801 --> 00:26:43,856
be up there, you know?
486
00:26:54,225 --> 00:26:56,375
Mission Control, this is Daedalus.
487
00:26:57,687 --> 00:26:59,180
We're looking at a red planet.
488
00:27:23,156 --> 00:27:24,990
The Daedalus crew has done it,
489
00:27:25,162 --> 00:27:27,680
humankind is on Mars.
490
00:27:27,869 --> 00:27:29,123
Ben.
491
00:27:29,661 --> 00:27:31,339
His vitals are readable, but
492
00:27:31,351 --> 00:27:32,894
he's still unconscious,
493
00:27:33,562 --> 00:27:34,996
I'm going down,
494
00:27:35,904 --> 00:27:37,063
I'll check on Ben.
495
00:27:38,186 --> 00:27:39,357
Confirm our position,
496
00:27:39,379 --> 00:27:40,607
I'll go save the ship.
497
00:27:40,631 --> 00:27:42,972
Woo!
498
00:28:02,907 --> 00:28:04,310
I'm getting off nominal ratings
499
00:28:04,337 --> 00:28:06,011
up and down the engine systems.
500
00:28:06,663 --> 00:28:08,734
Gyro circuits are offline.
501
00:28:10,093 --> 00:28:11,633
Tell me what you see.
502
00:28:17,719 --> 00:28:19,255
What do you see?
503
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,135
It's not good.
504
00:28:23,517 --> 00:28:25,192
How far did we overshoot?
505
00:28:27,074 --> 00:28:28,021
Ben?
506
00:28:28,495 --> 00:28:30,367
We are coming, come on.
507
00:28:32,486 --> 00:28:33,860
Javier, hurry!
508
00:28:35,365 --> 00:28:37,082
_
509
00:28:43,878 --> 00:28:47,343
So the long term goal is how fast can we
510
00:28:47,551 --> 00:28:50,862
establish a self-sustaining
city on Mars.
511
00:28:50,982 --> 00:28:53,516
Do we focus on just trying
to get the ship there
512
00:28:53,518 --> 00:28:56,001
and then maybe send
people some other time?
513
00:28:56,076 --> 00:28:57,511
I think we'd send a ship,
514
00:28:57,519 --> 00:28:59,039
make sure it could land OK.
515
00:28:59,159 --> 00:29:01,632
Assuming that lands OK
and it seems to be working,
516
00:29:01,793 --> 00:29:04,244
on the next Mars mission
we would send people,
517
00:29:04,417 --> 00:29:06,158
and additional equipment.
518
00:29:06,543 --> 00:29:09,014
You just need a lot of equipment to
519
00:29:09,033 --> 00:29:10,727
keep people alive on Mars.
520
00:29:11,257 --> 00:29:13,183
And so we're gonna want to assemble
521
00:29:13,194 --> 00:29:15,468
as much of a base as we possibly can.
522
00:29:15,496 --> 00:29:18,314
So some of that will
have to be landed first,
523
00:29:18,577 --> 00:29:21,092
may have to be robotically put together,
524
00:29:21,212 --> 00:29:23,461
and we may have to do it in stages.
525
00:29:24,443 --> 00:29:27,213
Prepositioning a base
camp is really the only
526
00:29:27,221 --> 00:29:29,932
plausible way to do a
manned mission to Mars,
527
00:29:29,948 --> 00:29:31,126
let alone a colony.
528
00:29:31,389 --> 00:29:33,033
You would need oxygen,
529
00:29:33,252 --> 00:29:34,965
you would need water,
530
00:29:35,161 --> 00:29:36,391
then you would need food,
531
00:29:36,403 --> 00:29:37,893
a source of calories.
532
00:29:38,180 --> 00:29:39,862
How do you generate power on Mars,
533
00:29:39,933 --> 00:29:41,893
we're gonna pre-position solar panels,
534
00:29:41,964 --> 00:29:44,385
but you can only generate so
much energy from solar panels,
535
00:29:44,393 --> 00:29:45,734
what if you're caught in a dust storm?
536
00:29:45,736 --> 00:29:47,398
We can pre-position a reactor
537
00:29:47,421 --> 00:29:49,394
to make power, to make propellant,
538
00:29:49,407 --> 00:29:51,130
maybe even additional habitats.
539
00:29:51,185 --> 00:29:53,629
You would send machines to make oxygen,
540
00:29:53,641 --> 00:29:56,494
machines that suck water
out of the atmosphere.
541
00:29:56,505 --> 00:29:58,736
You really need to send 3d printers
542
00:29:58,749 --> 00:30:01,566
so people can build
their own things on Mars.
543
00:30:01,836 --> 00:30:03,545
And then we'd land a crew
544
00:30:03,588 --> 00:30:05,493
near those facilities.
545
00:30:05,949 --> 00:30:07,284
I think the first few missions
546
00:30:07,299 --> 00:30:08,737
people would live in the ship
547
00:30:08,935 --> 00:30:10,428
so that the most important
thing really would be
548
00:30:10,439 --> 00:30:12,596
just to make sure that we land OK,
549
00:30:12,630 --> 00:30:14,263
and don't damage the ship.
550
00:30:14,549 --> 00:30:16,623
But you can't live there very long,
551
00:30:16,743 --> 00:30:19,550
cosmic radiation is
gonna penetrate the ship.
552
00:30:19,670 --> 00:30:21,003
And what happens if your landing
553
00:30:21,005 --> 00:30:22,128
is off course?
554
00:30:22,151 --> 00:30:24,139
That is a real problem.
555
00:30:24,317 --> 00:30:26,329
There are so many things
that could go wrong,
556
00:30:26,337 --> 00:30:27,943
and there's no help.
557
00:30:28,063 --> 00:30:30,398
There's no emergency supply rocket
558
00:30:30,418 --> 00:30:31,845
that's coming right away.
559
00:30:33,152 --> 00:30:34,535
_
560
00:30:34,618 --> 00:30:37,015
Our biggest challenge on this mission
561
00:30:37,710 --> 00:30:41,045
is gonna be everyday survival you know.
562
00:30:41,662 --> 00:30:44,122
Ben, Ben, can you hear me?
563
00:30:48,738 --> 00:30:51,095
His respirator is damaged.
564
00:30:52,403 --> 00:30:54,163
We got to get his helmet off.
565
00:30:55,515 --> 00:30:58,068
Secure his spine, we're gonna move him.
566
00:30:58,096 --> 00:31:00,519
Yeah, OK, buddy.
567
00:31:01,451 --> 00:31:02,854
OK.
568
00:31:03,168 --> 00:31:04,359
Ugh.
569
00:31:10,512 --> 00:31:11,753
You OK, buddy?
570
00:31:12,166 --> 00:31:14,200
You passed out during the landing.
571
00:31:14,464 --> 00:31:16,107
We need to check on you.
572
00:31:16,227 --> 00:31:17,591
I'm OK,
573
00:31:18,781 --> 00:31:19,972
I'm OK.
574
00:31:21,184 --> 00:31:23,055
Hey, we made it.
575
00:31:27,864 --> 00:31:30,190
Telemetry indicates
the RCS remained offline
576
00:31:30,206 --> 00:31:32,427
for the first 91 seconds of entry.
577
00:31:32,682 --> 00:31:34,510
I've got Daedalus position back online.
578
00:31:34,748 --> 00:31:35,892
How bad?
579
00:31:36,363 --> 00:31:37,884
Put sat on the board.
580
00:31:42,367 --> 00:31:43,801
How far are they from base camp?
581
00:31:49,015 --> 00:31:50,189
How far?
582
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,549
75.3 kilometers.
583
00:32:02,066 --> 00:32:02,828
We're cross checking
584
00:32:02,844 --> 00:32:04,867
all remaining life
support resources now.
585
00:32:05,044 --> 00:32:06,372
But unless Daedalus can tether
586
00:32:06,372 --> 00:32:08,242
to the infrastructure at base camp,
587
00:32:08,985 --> 00:32:10,556
it's only a matter of time.
588
00:32:11,192 --> 00:32:13,440
There has to be a way
to make a suborbital
589
00:32:13,452 --> 00:32:15,833
flight to get Daedalus to base camp.
590
00:32:16,202 --> 00:32:18,984
There's barely enough fuel
to get them off the ground.
591
00:32:20,113 --> 00:32:21,730
They're all alone up there,
592
00:32:22,257 --> 00:32:24,080
what are we telling them guys?
593
00:32:25,007 --> 00:32:26,879
Showing enough residual propellant
594
00:32:26,910 --> 00:32:28,555
in the system to make a single burst,
595
00:32:28,566 --> 00:32:31,384
but they're going to come down hard.
596
00:32:31,804 --> 00:32:33,802
Even harder as they just did.
597
00:32:34,016 --> 00:32:36,063
Landing loads were off the chart.
598
00:32:36,436 --> 00:32:37,548
She's right,
599
00:32:38,150 --> 00:32:40,909
Mae is showing engine damage
from the off-nominal landing.
600
00:32:41,182 --> 00:32:42,845
If they can't make any repairs,
601
00:32:43,093 --> 00:32:45,107
fuel won't make a difference anyway.
602
00:32:46,546 --> 00:32:48,388
What is Ben's status?
603
00:32:54,604 --> 00:32:57,192
I can see substantial
blunt trauma from impact.
604
00:32:57,194 --> 00:32:59,084
I want to do a full battery of scans
605
00:32:59,096 --> 00:33:01,255
as soon as the equipment
is prepped and calibrated.
606
00:33:01,299 --> 00:33:02,680
I said I'm fine.
607
00:33:03,038 --> 00:33:05,300
It's just the transition
from micro-G's.
608
00:33:05,523 --> 00:33:07,939
Ben, I need to run proper tests.
609
00:33:07,993 --> 00:33:09,329
I understand,
610
00:33:10,846 --> 00:33:12,668
I need to know our status first.
611
00:33:13,617 --> 00:33:15,100
How long do we have?
612
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,852
Life support status says
613
00:33:19,373 --> 00:33:21,736
we've got three more
days of breathable air.
614
00:33:22,743 --> 00:33:24,451
Daedalus isn't supposed to operate
615
00:33:24,455 --> 00:33:26,534
independently from base camp.
616
00:33:26,696 --> 00:33:28,621
It's just not viable.
617
00:33:28,935 --> 00:33:30,789
Come on, let's fix this,
618
00:33:30,909 --> 00:33:32,405
it's our guys up there.
619
00:33:34,247 --> 00:33:36,108
Engines are still offline.
620
00:33:37,179 --> 00:33:38,810
Robert, did you troubleshoot
621
00:33:38,836 --> 00:33:40,357
the propellant flow control?
622
00:33:42,362 --> 00:33:43,879
Nothing I do to the electronics
623
00:33:43,889 --> 00:33:45,470
will fix the engines.
624
00:33:45,876 --> 00:33:48,700
I can't get the ship moving
without a resupply from home.
625
00:33:50,915 --> 00:33:53,966
I can't get the ship moving
without a resupply from home.
626
00:33:59,402 --> 00:34:01,724
No chance of bunny hopping
Daedalus to base camp.
627
00:34:01,726 --> 00:34:03,057
There's no fix.
628
00:34:03,227 --> 00:34:05,458
I could fix this if I had the 3D printer
629
00:34:05,478 --> 00:34:06,862
from the Russian workshop.
630
00:34:06,982 --> 00:34:09,068
I could fix this if I had the 3D printer
631
00:34:09,078 --> 00:34:10,909
from the Russian workshop.
632
00:34:18,306 --> 00:34:20,231
The Russian workshop module.
633
00:34:20,771 --> 00:34:22,603
It has independent
environmental systems.
634
00:34:23,074 --> 00:34:25,869
And it was pre-positioned for
access to candidate lava tubes.
635
00:34:27,750 --> 00:34:29,410
It'd be tight, but...
636
00:34:30,230 --> 00:34:32,569
What if we call that the new base camp?
637
00:34:33,821 --> 00:34:35,855
If they upgrade the
environmental control systems
638
00:34:35,878 --> 00:34:37,392
and air and water recycling.
639
00:34:37,394 --> 00:34:39,110
They'd have a chance.
640
00:34:39,410 --> 00:34:41,694
That doesn't solve the
transportation problem.
641
00:34:41,944 --> 00:34:43,532
Can we get the rover to them?
642
00:34:43,652 --> 00:34:46,098
- Checking the route.
- I'll check max payload.
643
00:34:47,044 --> 00:34:49,438
The terrain approaching
Daedalus is complex,
644
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:52,127
a fair amount of subsidence,
645
00:34:52,543 --> 00:34:54,458
portions that may not be stable.
646
00:34:54,578 --> 00:34:56,622
Can they do it, or not?
647
00:34:57,047 --> 00:34:59,078
Their satellite view is in and out,
648
00:34:59,198 --> 00:35:01,392
we have to hand off
rover command and control
649
00:35:01,459 --> 00:35:03,896
and let Daedalus navigate
the local topography.
650
00:35:05,413 --> 00:35:07,125
Do they have an option?
651
00:35:07,324 --> 00:35:09,397
Initiating override,
652
00:35:09,624 --> 00:35:14,172
transferring remote
rover control to Daedalus.
653
00:35:27,812 --> 00:35:29,373
You're lost,
654
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,086
you must be lost.
655
00:35:32,615 --> 00:35:35,077
You sound like my ex-wife.
656
00:35:36,617 --> 00:35:38,244
You're lost,
657
00:35:38,364 --> 00:35:39,521
you must be lost.
658
00:35:39,546 --> 00:35:41,256
You sound like my ex-wife.
659
00:35:41,258 --> 00:35:42,775
Show me their progress.
660
00:35:42,830 --> 00:35:44,911
Maneuvering that last
kilometer of terrain
661
00:35:44,942 --> 00:35:47,999
from here will be painfully slow.
662
00:35:48,417 --> 00:35:50,560
You should have let me drive.
663
00:36:00,144 --> 00:36:02,056
Nothing on the externals.
664
00:36:12,021 --> 00:36:13,432
I told you,
665
00:36:13,837 --> 00:36:15,280
I'm not lost.
666
00:36:16,158 --> 00:36:17,693
Daedalus.
667
00:36:21,180 --> 00:36:22,617
Daedalus!
668
00:36:26,103 --> 00:36:28,276
That's our girl.
669
00:36:28,739 --> 00:36:31,162
It's such a beautiful thing.
670
00:36:37,369 --> 00:36:40,254
About time something goes right.
671
00:36:48,273 --> 00:36:51,249
We trained for every eventuality
672
00:36:51,262 --> 00:36:54,552
that it started to feel like
we'd already landed on Mars,
673
00:36:56,867 --> 00:36:59,587
like we'd already
succeeded in our mission,
674
00:37:01,662 --> 00:37:03,129
but we hadn't.
675
00:37:05,842 --> 00:37:07,137
We were leaving the ship
676
00:37:07,162 --> 00:37:08,936
that was supposed to have sustained us
677
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,244
for our first two years on Mars.
678
00:37:13,116 --> 00:37:15,143
The mission to find a
new home in this place
679
00:37:15,167 --> 00:37:17,101
was going to be hard.
680
00:37:19,219 --> 00:37:21,865
Harder than any of us had imagined.
681
00:37:29,132 --> 00:37:32,393
Ben, I need to run a
full body scan on you.
682
00:37:32,429 --> 00:37:33,682
Listen,
683
00:37:34,278 --> 00:37:37,452
priority is getting the crew
to base camp, you understand?
684
00:37:37,753 --> 00:37:39,932
After that I'm all yours.
685
00:37:41,141 --> 00:37:42,559
It's time.
686
00:37:43,047 --> 00:37:44,309
Great,
687
00:37:44,684 --> 00:37:46,311
I'll see you down there.
688
00:37:46,431 --> 00:37:47,723
Are you OK?
689
00:37:47,754 --> 00:37:49,682
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
690
00:39:12,987 --> 00:39:15,032
For that brief moment,
691
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,635
our pain and worries were gone,
692
00:39:20,397 --> 00:39:23,878
there was no speech, no theater,
693
00:39:24,415 --> 00:39:26,947
there was only awe that we had arrived.
694
00:39:27,217 --> 00:39:31,619
And the acceptance that
we were just beginning.
695
00:39:34,584 --> 00:39:38,084
If I could talk to the first people
696
00:39:38,102 --> 00:39:40,785
to stand on the surface of Mars,
697
00:39:40,905 --> 00:39:43,793
I would ask them to remember
698
00:39:43,830 --> 00:39:46,175
that everything they're about to see,
699
00:39:46,789 --> 00:39:49,514
they'll be seeing for our whole species,
700
00:39:49,815 --> 00:39:55,077
they'll be experiencing,
living a dream that
701
00:39:55,197 --> 00:39:59,368
our recent ancestors would
have deemed impossible.
702
00:39:59,706 --> 00:40:02,235
And it's not just
science fiction anymore,
703
00:40:02,518 --> 00:40:05,235
there are people on this
planet right this moment
704
00:40:05,355 --> 00:40:07,405
that are actually planning
705
00:40:07,595 --> 00:40:09,977
and working to perfect
706
00:40:09,983 --> 00:40:13,040
the machinery that's necessary
to make that possible.
707
00:40:14,766 --> 00:40:18,511
_
708
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,802
T-minus 4 minutes.
709
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,749
We've reached a tipping point.
710
00:40:30,805 --> 00:40:32,794
Thousands of years from now,
711
00:40:33,175 --> 00:40:34,685
whatever we become,
712
00:40:35,427 --> 00:40:36,901
whoever we are,
713
00:40:37,021 --> 00:40:39,406
we'll look back at
these next few decades
714
00:40:39,526 --> 00:40:41,119
as the moment in time
715
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,280
that we are moving off this planet
716
00:40:43,476 --> 00:40:45,355
as a multi-planetary species.
717
00:40:45,392 --> 00:40:47,115
VC and DC verify F9
718
00:40:47,144 --> 00:40:49,467
- and Dragon are in startup.
- F9 is in startup.
719
00:40:49,587 --> 00:40:52,659
And SpaceX stands as nothing less
720
00:40:52,694 --> 00:40:54,958
than a massive game changer.
721
00:40:56,081 --> 00:40:58,065
Stage one,
stage two, pressing for flight.
722
00:40:58,109 --> 00:41:00,108
Elon Musk says the only reason
723
00:41:00,228 --> 00:41:03,610
that I have founded this company
is to get human beings to Mars.
724
00:41:03,649 --> 00:41:05,524
LC LD go for launch.
725
00:41:05,644 --> 00:41:09,012
The key
to making Mars economical
726
00:41:09,132 --> 00:41:11,521
is the reusability of rockets.
727
00:41:11,565 --> 00:41:12,975
T-minus 1 minute.
728
00:41:13,019 --> 00:41:14,880
I just don't
think there's any way to have
729
00:41:14,890 --> 00:41:18,141
a self-sustaining Mars
base without reusability.
730
00:41:18,322 --> 00:41:21,726
Getting the cost down
is really fundamental.
731
00:41:21,846 --> 00:41:24,801
If wooden sailing ships in
the old days were not reusable,
732
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,520
I don't think the United
States would exist.
733
00:41:26,549 --> 00:41:27,965
T-minus 30 seconds.
734
00:41:27,967 --> 00:41:30,326
And if they nail this ability
735
00:41:30,371 --> 00:41:33,563
to land a rocket anyway
they want on Earth,
736
00:41:33,759 --> 00:41:35,846
then they can nail doing it on Mars.
737
00:41:35,896 --> 00:41:37,307
T-minus 15.
738
00:41:37,427 --> 00:41:39,299
This flight is a huge deal.
739
00:41:39,419 --> 00:41:41,882
We haven't yet landed the rocket.
740
00:41:42,002 --> 00:41:45,157
So this is gonna be hopefully
our first successful landing.
741
00:41:45,491 --> 00:41:50,943
T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
742
00:41:51,063 --> 00:41:57,215
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
743
00:41:58,311 --> 00:41:59,872
We have lift off.
744
00:42:20,686 --> 00:42:22,798
Vehicle has reached maximum pressure.
745
00:42:23,196 --> 00:42:25,719
Stage one propulsion
is still not working.
746
00:42:26,137 --> 00:42:29,751
Altitude 32 kilometers, speed
at 1 kilometer per second,
747
00:42:29,771 --> 00:42:32,349
down range distance 13 kilometers.
748
00:43:02,574 --> 00:43:04,641
Space is defined by the strange
749
00:43:04,646 --> 00:43:08,300
relationship between
failure, risk, and innovation.
750
00:43:09,259 --> 00:43:10,931
Which is you can take risks,
751
00:43:10,962 --> 00:43:13,258
you can try something very innovative,
752
00:43:14,216 --> 00:43:16,389
but you're more likely to fail.
753
00:43:19,066 --> 00:43:22,227
Some people say that
the challenges of a Mars mission
754
00:43:22,347 --> 00:43:24,579
are excessively formidable.
755
00:43:25,021 --> 00:43:27,077
I entirely disagree.
756
00:43:27,488 --> 00:43:31,621
I believe that far from being
the weak link in the chain,
757
00:43:31,933 --> 00:43:34,094
human ingenuity, and the human psyche
758
00:43:34,094 --> 00:43:36,434
is gonna be the strongest
link in the chain.
759
00:43:37,606 --> 00:43:39,791
There's a
segment of people in this world
760
00:43:39,804 --> 00:43:41,627
that live on the edge.
761
00:43:42,345 --> 00:43:46,863
The talent of these people
is evaluating the risk
762
00:43:47,409 --> 00:43:49,717
and always the rewards.
763
00:43:51,362 --> 00:43:55,298
If you figure that the
reward is worth the risk.
764
00:43:56,673 --> 00:43:58,588
That yeah, it's risky,
765
00:43:58,817 --> 00:44:02,027
I know I could get killed doing this,
766
00:44:02,819 --> 00:44:06,618
but it's doing something
that man had not done before.
767
00:44:08,810 --> 00:44:11,593
So is it worth it? Mhm, it's worth it.
768
00:44:21,414 --> 00:44:23,489
Mission control confirmed the rover
769
00:44:23,509 --> 00:44:26,093
is 2000 kilos over maximum payload
770
00:44:26,135 --> 00:44:27,861
with all of us aboard.
771
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,396
I ran the numbers,
772
00:44:30,426 --> 00:44:32,919
the odds are we won't make it.
773
00:44:41,318 --> 00:44:42,705
Yeah,
774
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,310
but someone will.
775
00:44:49,667 --> 00:44:51,349
Come on...
776
00:45:01,109 --> 00:45:02,761
Let's get to work.
777
00:45:06,548 --> 00:45:09,759
We had 75 kilometers ahead of us.
778
00:45:11,048 --> 00:45:12,682
Over brutal terrain,
779
00:45:12,706 --> 00:45:15,849
and a rover thousands
of kilos over capacity.
780
00:45:18,919 --> 00:45:20,645
Even if we made it that far,
781
00:45:20,669 --> 00:45:22,406
our new base camp was a workshop
782
00:45:22,437 --> 00:45:24,156
that would barely hold us all.
783
00:45:28,404 --> 00:45:30,234
Temperatures would drop to minus
784
00:45:30,252 --> 00:45:32,726
70 degrees before nightfall,
785
00:45:35,365 --> 00:45:37,404
and the only help we had
786
00:45:38,626 --> 00:45:40,535
was somewhere up there
787
00:45:41,204 --> 00:45:43,371
on a little blue dot.
