_

4
00:00:24,502 --> 00:00:26,841
Retro rockets are about to fire in.

5
00:00:31,196 --> 00:00:34,866
1, 2, 3, breathe.
1, 2, 3, breathe.

6
00:00:40,863 --> 00:00:42,625
We dream.

7
00:00:45,158 --> 00:00:46,892
It's who we are.

8
00:00:48,328 --> 00:00:51,534
Down to our bones, our cells.

9
00:00:51,970 --> 00:00:54,395
That instinct to build.

10
00:00:54,702 --> 00:00:58,686
That drive to seek beyond what we know.

11
00:00:59,042 --> 00:01:00,706
It's in our DNA.

12
00:01:01,265 --> 00:01:03,408
We crossed the oceans,

13
00:01:05,022 --> 00:01:07,048
we conquered the skies.

14
00:01:09,245 --> 00:01:11,837
And when there were no
more frontiers on Earth

15
00:01:13,408 --> 00:01:15,932
we launched ourselves among the stars.

16
00:01:17,825 --> 00:01:20,751
We choose to
go to the Moon in this decade

17
00:01:20,782 --> 00:01:22,360
and do the other things,

18
00:01:22,606 --> 00:01:26,646
not because they are easy,
but because they are hard.

19
00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:30,999
The heavens
beckoned a new generation

20
00:01:31,017 --> 00:01:33,196
of innovators and explorers,

21
00:01:33,908 --> 00:01:37,119
seeking to take human kind even further.

22
00:01:38,776 --> 00:01:42,662
We can push
out into the solar system.

23
00:01:43,878 --> 00:01:46,732
Not just to visit but to stay.

24
00:01:47,622 --> 00:01:50,250
That was when
Mars became real for all of us.

25
00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:52,535
And for those of us who were around

26
00:01:52,572 --> 00:01:54,813
to see the first days, it was...

27
00:01:55,125 --> 00:01:56,942
electrifying.

28
00:02:01,762 --> 00:02:03,438
The world's leading space agencies

29
00:02:03,444 --> 00:02:06,809
united as the International
Mars Science Foundation.

30
00:02:07,539 --> 00:02:11,621
And joined with private industry
to accomplish one shared goal.

31
00:02:12,597 --> 00:02:16,054
To build a home for humankind on Mars.

32
00:02:17,216 --> 00:02:19,767
People weren't just talking
about the red planet,

33
00:02:20,093 --> 00:02:22,838
they were making plans to go there.

34
00:02:23,703 --> 00:02:26,570
And after years of training
in the Astronaut Corps

35
00:02:27,043 --> 00:02:31,647
I was chosen to command the
first human mission to Mars.

36
00:02:34,874 --> 00:02:36,249
Wonder,

37
00:02:38,244 --> 00:02:39,742
- wonder.
- _

38
00:02:40,939 --> 00:02:43,624
For as long as we've
looked up at the night sky

39
00:02:43,947 --> 00:02:45,726
that is what we felt.

40
00:02:46,010 --> 00:02:48,754
We named the planets
that hang among the stars

41
00:02:48,789 --> 00:02:50,326
after our gods.

42
00:02:50,446 --> 00:02:53,194
And gave them the same
power to control our fate.

43
00:02:53,489 --> 00:02:57,055
With the support of the
space-going nations of the IMSF

44
00:02:57,098 --> 00:02:59,449
the Mars Mission Corporation

45
00:02:59,569 --> 00:03:03,377
has overcome the most
daunting engineering challenges

46
00:03:03,832 --> 00:03:06,288
our species has ever faced.

47
00:03:07,050 --> 00:03:09,609
This allows the brave pioneers

48
00:03:10,094 --> 00:03:11,850
standing before you today,

49
00:03:12,157 --> 00:03:14,060
to bring humanity

50
00:03:14,459 --> 00:03:15,809
into a new era.

51
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:19,860
We will no longer stare
and wonder at those planets

52
00:03:19,873 --> 00:03:21,752
we named for our gods.

53
00:03:23,010 --> 00:03:25,257
But take our place among them.

54
00:03:39,732 --> 00:03:42,139
Ed Grann could sell anything,

55
00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:45,470
but he was more than a salesman.

56
00:03:45,590 --> 00:03:47,695
He was brilliant.

57
00:03:48,427 --> 00:03:51,828
_

58
00:03:53,068 --> 00:03:56,291
She's 14 stories base to nose.

59
00:03:56,930 --> 00:03:59,362
That's a fancy
jacket you got today Ed.

60
00:04:01,258 --> 00:04:03,886
_

61
00:04:03,924 --> 00:04:05,795
_

62
00:04:05,826 --> 00:04:08,066
_

63
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:11,473
And as much as any of us,

64
00:04:11,786 --> 00:04:13,352
he was a believer.

65
00:04:14,654 --> 00:04:17,232
He promised the world he
would give us the technology

66
00:04:17,238 --> 00:04:19,534
we needed to leave our home,

67
00:04:20,203 --> 00:04:22,493
and build a new one.

68
00:04:23,443 --> 00:04:25,570
And he delivered.

69
00:04:28,467 --> 00:04:29,910
This is it.

70
00:04:30,474 --> 00:04:32,052
Daedalus.

71
00:04:33,348 --> 00:04:35,177
Take good care of her,

72
00:04:35,847 --> 00:04:38,056
she'll take good care of you.

73
00:04:41,267 --> 00:04:43,090
She's your ship now.

74
00:05:06,129 --> 00:05:08,032
Drives better than a Cadillac.

75
00:05:12,016 --> 00:05:14,318
But that shine isn't gonna last.

76
00:05:16,761 --> 00:05:19,500
Over the next 7 months your
bodies are gonna be exposed

77
00:05:19,512 --> 00:05:22,459
to nearly 200 times the
dose of a normal year's

78
00:05:22,477 --> 00:05:25,043
worth of radiation exposure on Earth.

79
00:05:25,565 --> 00:05:28,211
Calcium will leach from your bones

80
00:05:28,248 --> 00:05:30,409
which will lose nearly 10% of their mass

81
00:05:30,433 --> 00:05:32,251
before you even get to Mars.

82
00:05:32,717 --> 00:05:35,878
There is no test that can
tell you whether or not

83
00:05:35,896 --> 00:05:38,714
the notion of being 60
million kilometers away

84
00:05:38,749 --> 00:05:40,556
from the planet on which you were born

85
00:05:40,568 --> 00:05:42,986
can shatter your mind in so many pieces.

86
00:05:44,011 --> 00:05:46,589
Some of us if not all of us

87
00:05:47,596 --> 00:05:50,800
will almost certainly
die on this mission.

88
00:05:52,642 --> 00:05:54,815
Might be in takeoff,
might be in landing,

89
00:05:54,851 --> 00:05:57,074
might be in the new world itself.

90
00:05:58,259 --> 00:06:00,536
Now you all are the bravest group

91
00:06:00,567 --> 00:06:03,281
of women and men I have ever met.

92
00:06:05,129 --> 00:06:07,676
I'm damn proud to be here with you.

93
00:06:09,997 --> 00:06:12,630
But right now I want you
to stop and ask yourself

94
00:06:12,673 --> 00:06:17,143
what really is important
to you about this mission.

95
00:06:20,918 --> 00:06:23,104
And if the answer to
that question is not

96
00:06:23,122 --> 00:06:26,370
the most important thing in your life

97
00:06:26,490 --> 00:06:28,716
then I'm gonna invite
you to walk out that door

98
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:30,859
and go pursue whatever that thing is.

99
00:06:31,829 --> 00:06:34,849
And don't ever look back, because no one

100
00:06:34,855 --> 00:06:38,004
will ever have the right
to hold it against you.

101
00:06:39,619 --> 00:06:42,112
Daedalus, you're a go for launch

102
00:06:42,149 --> 00:06:44,948
in T-minus 17 seconds and counting.

103
00:06:45,421 --> 00:06:47,558
Mission analytic executor,

104
00:06:47,564 --> 00:06:50,321
you have primary control of
all the critical functions.

105
00:06:50,548 --> 00:06:52,439
Mae, the ship is yours.

106
00:06:52,559 --> 00:06:54,225
I am in control.

107
00:06:54,227 --> 00:06:55,624
The launch of Daedalus

108
00:06:55,661 --> 00:06:59,695
was the beginning of our
historic 7-month journey to Mars.

109
00:07:04,213 --> 00:07:06,945
But it wasn't easy to
reach the red planet.

110
00:07:07,908 --> 00:07:10,623
We needed visionaries to guide the way.

111
00:07:14,878 --> 00:07:18,483
Mars and Earth are sister planets.

112
00:07:19,237 --> 00:07:21,853
The young Mars had rivers and lakes,

113
00:07:21,855 --> 00:07:24,056
it even had an ocean.

114
00:07:24,442 --> 00:07:27,025
If there was water on Mars,

115
00:07:27,145 --> 00:07:29,527
couldn't there possibly be life?

116
00:07:29,647 --> 00:07:31,278
Is it habitable?

117
00:07:31,398 --> 00:07:33,436
If you really want to understand,

118
00:07:33,461 --> 00:07:37,433
we want to, need to, go to Mars.

119
00:07:38,802 --> 00:07:40,103
We need to go to Mars

120
00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:42,467
because it protects us from extinction.

121
00:07:43,154 --> 00:07:45,511
There's all sorts of things
that could happen on Earth

122
00:07:45,524 --> 00:07:47,745
that can kill all the
humans on the planet.

123
00:07:48,010 --> 00:07:50,392
But once humans are on
two different planets

124
00:07:50,423 --> 00:07:53,364
the odds of extinction
drop to nearly zero.

125
00:07:54,121 --> 00:07:56,803
Getting to Mars will be risky,

126
00:07:56,923 --> 00:07:58,226
dangerous,

127
00:07:58,428 --> 00:07:59,791
uncomfortable.

128
00:08:00,448 --> 00:08:03,795
But it will be the
greatest adventure ever.

129
00:08:03,915 --> 00:08:05,906
Ever in human history.

130
00:08:17,964 --> 00:08:19,474
This is hallowed ground,

131
00:08:20,327 --> 00:08:22,537
it's called Launchpad 39A,

132
00:08:23,887 --> 00:08:28,313
and it's the place that
the first humans left Earth,

133
00:08:29,774 --> 00:08:32,033
then went to another heavenly body.

134
00:08:33,169 --> 00:08:36,189
So this is um, I think, probably,

135
00:08:36,226 --> 00:08:38,239
I think it's the greatest
launchsite on Earth.

136
00:08:39,455 --> 00:08:41,959
Buzz Aldrin,
Mike Collins, Neil Armstrong

137
00:08:41,978 --> 00:08:45,863
get into the transfer van to Pad 39A.

138
00:08:47,104 --> 00:08:50,542
Pad 39A was used
for the Apollo 11 mission,

139
00:08:50,849 --> 00:08:53,372
and then with the space shuttle.

140
00:08:55,417 --> 00:09:00,058
So it's a place with incredible
historical significance.

141
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,527
Now NASA has given Launchpad 39A

142
00:09:04,564 --> 00:09:06,541
to SpaceX to use.

143
00:09:07,626 --> 00:09:10,831
The long term goal of SpaceX
is to develop the technology

144
00:09:10,874 --> 00:09:14,545
necessary to establish a
self-sustaining city on Mars.

145
00:09:18,732 --> 00:09:21,071
SpaceX's primary mission is absolutely

146
00:09:21,106 --> 00:09:23,742
to make life interplanetary.

147
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:26,216
We can explore the universe,

148
00:09:26,252 --> 00:09:27,892
we can put a colony on Mars.

149
00:09:27,953 --> 00:09:29,635
People can be interplanetary

150
00:09:29,672 --> 00:09:32,091
and it's just an engineering
problem like any other.

151
00:09:32,485 --> 00:09:34,860
It just takes a group
of people who care a lot,

152
00:09:34,872 --> 00:09:37,285
and are happy to work really
hard to make that happen.

153
00:09:40,029 --> 00:09:42,011
When Elon Musk decided

154
00:09:42,054 --> 00:09:44,498
"I'm gonna go off and build
my own rocket company",

155
00:09:44,764 --> 00:09:46,733
everyone thought he was crazy.

156
00:09:46,751 --> 00:09:48,215
Everyone laughed at him.

157
00:09:48,335 --> 00:09:52,318
Now SpaceX has a better
record launching things

158
00:09:52,339 --> 00:09:55,489
than practically any
rocket company in the world.

159
00:09:55,689 --> 00:09:58,667
They have a contract
from NASA to deliver

160
00:09:58,697 --> 00:10:01,381
very essential supplies
to the space station.

161
00:10:01,416 --> 00:10:04,149
Dragon spacecraft now the first-ever

162
00:10:04,186 --> 00:10:07,968
commercial spacecraft to visit
the International Space Station.

163
00:10:08,088 --> 00:10:10,830
They have investors, they
have to have revenues,

164
00:10:11,118 --> 00:10:14,789
they want the business of
launching billion dollar satellites.

165
00:10:14,909 --> 00:10:17,628
At the same time, they're
focused on launching

166
00:10:17,647 --> 00:10:19,230
a new civilization on Mars.

167
00:10:19,232 --> 00:10:23,196
So the stakes for every
rocket launch are huge.

168
00:10:24,326 --> 00:10:26,408
I think it's
important for us to try to get

169
00:10:26,437 --> 00:10:30,012
to a self-sustaining situation
on Mars as soon as possible.

170
00:10:30,282 --> 00:10:33,121
SpaceX, Falcon9
and Dragon are go for launch.

171
00:10:33,352 --> 00:10:34,779
T-minus 30 seconds.

172
00:10:35,095 --> 00:10:36,814
Because either we're gonna become

173
00:10:36,816 --> 00:10:39,864
a multi-planet species and
a space-faring civilization,

174
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:41,617
or we're gonna be stuck on one planet

175
00:10:41,621 --> 00:10:43,340
until some eventual extinction event.

176
00:10:43,556 --> 00:10:44,735
T-minus 20.

177
00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:45,811
In order for me to be

178
00:10:45,836 --> 00:10:47,756
excited and inspired about the future,

179
00:10:47,987 --> 00:10:49,176
it's gotta be the first option.

180
00:10:49,249 --> 00:10:51,371
It's gotta be: We're gonna be
a space-faring civilization.

181
00:10:51,892 --> 00:10:57,171
T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,

182
00:10:57,545 --> 00:11:03,321
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.

183
00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:06,557
What am I ready for?

184
00:11:06,607 --> 00:11:09,494
I'm ready to be one of
the first human beings

185
00:11:09,922 --> 00:11:11,282
to go to Mars. I mean,

186
00:11:12,750 --> 00:11:14,292
could you imagine that?

187
00:11:17,287 --> 00:11:18,656
That's like a dream.

188
00:11:18,819 --> 00:11:21,962
I think Amelia
Earhart once said that "adventure

189
00:11:22,082 --> 00:11:24,393
is worthwhile in itself."

190
00:11:24,717 --> 00:11:26,740
Uh, it could be that.

191
00:11:27,359 --> 00:11:29,049
If we don't succeed

192
00:11:29,299 --> 00:11:32,732
we still paved the path
for people after us to come,

193
00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:35,177
and follow our lead.

194
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:39,577
Becoming an interplanetary species is,

195
00:11:39,925 --> 00:11:42,087
it's our best chance to guarantee

196
00:11:42,121 --> 00:11:44,649
humankind's long-term survival.

197
00:11:44,891 --> 00:11:48,742
And, getting to be
part of that it's just.

198
00:11:49,596 --> 00:11:50,864
I mean it's...

199
00:11:52,023 --> 00:11:53,457
It's everything.

200
00:11:56,423 --> 00:11:58,004
Yeah it is.

201
00:11:59,502 --> 00:12:01,918
We've got the opportunity to

202
00:12:01,997 --> 00:12:04,648
ensure that humankind continues.

203
00:12:05,356 --> 00:12:07,739
You know, we've been training
for this half our lives.

204
00:12:07,925 --> 00:12:10,301
And we've been
dreaming about it even longer.

205
00:12:10,345 --> 00:12:12,457
We're ready to
give everything for thismission

206
00:12:12,501 --> 00:12:14,289
you know, all of us are.

207
00:12:14,357 --> 00:12:15,467
We are coming to you

208
00:12:15,492 --> 00:12:18,615
from the International Mars
Science Foundation headquarters,

209
00:12:18,635 --> 00:12:20,044
in Vienna, Austria.

210
00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:23,002
With live coverage from the
Mars Mission Corporation's

211
00:12:23,022 --> 00:12:24,898
mission control center in London,

212
00:12:24,942 --> 00:12:27,556
and an optical feed
from the Daedalus itself,

213
00:12:27,676 --> 00:12:30,066
at a 10 minute, 20 second delay.

214
00:12:35,924 --> 00:12:38,857
We had survived a 209-day journey

215
00:12:38,886 --> 00:12:40,387
through deep space.

216
00:12:40,655 --> 00:12:44,009
But landing a 14-story ship safely,

217
00:12:44,059 --> 00:12:47,393
upright, and on target
on the surface of Mars?

218
00:12:48,517 --> 00:12:51,925
That was a whole different
kind of challenge.

219
00:12:59,562 --> 00:13:00,756
Um,

220
00:13:02,037 --> 00:13:04,193
by the time this message reaches you,

221
00:13:05,647 --> 00:13:09,403
whatever is about to happen already has.

222
00:13:11,864 --> 00:13:14,619
If all went as planned then we are

223
00:13:14,634 --> 00:13:18,092
touched down at the
base camp, we are docked

224
00:13:19,334 --> 00:13:21,952
and we're ready to begin
the most exciting phase

225
00:13:21,981 --> 00:13:24,623
of scientific exploration
in human history.

226
00:13:28,665 --> 00:13:30,153
And if we haven't,

227
00:13:33,212 --> 00:13:35,256
we went into the darkness

228
00:13:36,975 --> 00:13:39,263
so that you could find the light.

229
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:43,154
This is for you, Dad.

230
00:13:50,570 --> 00:13:52,259
On my mark.

231
00:13:56,154 --> 00:13:58,148
Begin entry sequence.

232
00:14:00,986 --> 00:14:02,160
Mark.

233
00:14:02,420 --> 00:14:04,846
EDL sequence engaged.

234
00:14:06,074 --> 00:14:08,204
You ready for this?

235
00:14:09,095 --> 00:14:11,053
Are you?

236
00:14:14,881 --> 00:14:17,713
Put your helmets
on and seal your kits.

237
00:14:26,752 --> 00:14:28,831
Daedalus descent to the surface

238
00:14:28,869 --> 00:14:35,477
has been initiated at
425 kilometers altitude.

239
00:14:36,137 --> 00:14:38,456
By the time
this message reaches you,

240
00:14:38,576 --> 00:14:42,222
whatever is about to happen already has.

241
00:14:42,437 --> 00:14:44,247
If all went as planned,

242
00:14:44,278 --> 00:14:46,158
we are touched down at the base camp,

243
00:14:46,199 --> 00:14:48,185
we are docked and we're ready to begin

244
00:14:48,201 --> 00:14:51,851
the most exciting phase of scientific
exploration in human history.

245
00:14:52,697 --> 00:14:54,017
And if we haven't...

246
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,676
9 minutes 30 seconds till landing.

247
00:14:55,694 --> 00:14:57,935
... know that we went into the darkness

248
00:14:58,545 --> 00:15:00,262
so that you could find the light.

249
00:15:03,289 --> 00:15:05,182
Vector is good.

250
00:15:05,241 --> 00:15:07,426
.05 G's,

251
00:15:08,881 --> 00:15:10,625
.1 G's.

252
00:15:17,447 --> 00:15:19,995
- Warning.
- Pyros didn't fire.

253
00:15:20,033 --> 00:15:22,401
Reaction control system error.

254
00:15:22,807 --> 00:15:24,771
Lift vector requires correction.

255
00:15:24,777 --> 00:15:26,551
RCS thrusters are offline.

256
00:15:27,362 --> 00:15:29,387
Check the backup computer.

257
00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:32,088
Backup also showing RCS is offline.

258
00:15:32,156 --> 00:15:33,427
This thing is real.

259
00:15:33,439 --> 00:15:36,367
RCS thruster electrical board offline.

260
00:15:36,487 --> 00:15:39,529
Propellant valves have
not been commanded to open.

261
00:15:40,119 --> 00:15:41,901
The thrusters can't fire.

262
00:15:41,936 --> 00:15:46,012
Recommend immediate manual
replacement to 40 circuits.

263
00:15:46,059 --> 00:15:49,038
- I'll get down there and check it out.
- No, this is mine.

264
00:15:49,367 --> 00:15:51,695
Do a fault tree and talk
me through it on comm.

265
00:15:52,265 --> 00:15:53,837
You're going to have to work fast.

266
00:15:53,856 --> 00:15:55,222
I got it.

267
00:15:57,015 --> 00:16:00,458
Warning seat belt harness released.

268
00:16:10,282 --> 00:16:12,063
Failure identified.

269
00:16:14,254 --> 00:16:15,904
- Found it.
- Talk to me.

270
00:16:15,938 --> 00:16:19,018
It's a failure in bus 14-15-48,

271
00:16:19,062 --> 00:16:21,233
aft-starboard terminal.

272
00:16:21,253 --> 00:16:23,709
4-15-48, copy that.

273
00:16:23,743 --> 00:16:26,214
It's the pyro initiation circuit,

274
00:16:26,272 --> 00:16:29,342
4-3-6-double-bravo.

275
00:16:29,592 --> 00:16:31,807
Moving out of micro-G.

276
00:16:32,607 --> 00:16:37,383
Woah, OK, we got a bit of gravity here.

277
00:16:37,849 --> 00:16:39,276
Ah, wow.

278
00:16:39,396 --> 00:16:41,912
The failure must have
affected the whole bundle.

279
00:16:42,102 --> 00:16:44,774
71 seconds
before we're outside the window

280
00:16:44,784 --> 00:16:46,459
for guidance to correct.

281
00:16:46,719 --> 00:16:48,723
I'm gonna need you
to give me the number again.

282
00:16:48,743 --> 00:16:51,081
4-3-6-double-bravo.

283
00:16:51,201 --> 00:16:53,070
There we go.

284
00:16:57,082 --> 00:17:00,246
Warning thrust still inactive,

285
00:17:00,471 --> 00:17:04,409
60 seconds remaining to
restore reaction control system

286
00:17:04,458 --> 00:17:06,753
before landing is compromised.

287
00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:09,753
Ah, the short
cooked all four connections,

288
00:17:09,783 --> 00:17:12,032
I'm going to have to
cannibalize a replacement.

289
00:17:12,111 --> 00:17:14,734
Mae, identify a
PCB with matching electronics

290
00:17:14,739 --> 00:17:17,664
to board 4-36-double-bravo.

291

- is identical.
- Mike-Sierra-5-15-48,

294
00:17:28,038 --> 00:17:29,423
Roger that.

295
00:17:29,691 --> 00:17:32,051
15 seconds left to correct.

296
00:17:32,684 --> 00:17:34,847
I'm switching the board now.

297
00:17:34,967 --> 00:17:37,296
Come on, come on, come on, come on.

298
00:17:37,517 --> 00:17:38,997
There you go.

299
00:17:39,420 --> 00:17:43,472
Warning, window for
correction is closing in 10.

300
00:17:43,533 --> 00:17:45,592
Thrusters are still
offline! What are we missing?

301
00:17:45,712 --> 00:17:48,134
- Talk to me.
- 9, 8, 7, 6.

302
00:17:48,147 --> 00:17:53,684
- What am I looking for?
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

303
00:17:53,724 --> 00:17:56,027
_

304
00:17:58,005 --> 00:18:00,445
Landing on Mars is really tough.

305
00:18:00,736 --> 00:18:04,382
We can put a one-ton
rover down on the ground,

306
00:18:06,363 --> 00:18:08,504
but that's all we can do right now.

307
00:18:08,624 --> 00:18:10,911
And for humans to be able to go to Mars,

308
00:18:11,097 --> 00:18:13,224
we're gonna need 40 ton.

309
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,935
Our big challenge is indeed

310
00:18:15,984 --> 00:18:18,253
what it takes to get
down to the surface.

311
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:20,371
Mars has an atmosphere,

312
00:18:20,587 --> 00:18:23,347
but it's not enough to really stop you

313
00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:27,685
so consequently you have
to really use retro-rockets,

314
00:18:27,906 --> 00:18:31,074
parachutes, bladed shields,

315
00:18:31,123 --> 00:18:33,800
you have every tool in the arsenal

316
00:18:33,828 --> 00:18:35,989
that we can throw at it
is what it's going to take

317
00:18:36,004 --> 00:18:37,905
to get humans down on the ground.

318
00:18:39,741 --> 00:18:41,578
One of the most radical ideas

319
00:18:41,588 --> 00:18:45,276
that SpaceX has to lower
this horrendous cost

320
00:18:45,292 --> 00:18:48,548
of getting into space is reusability.

321
00:18:48,668 --> 00:18:51,407
Elon Musk wants to be able
to fire a rocket into orbit,

322
00:18:51,627 --> 00:18:53,783
launch a payload into space

323
00:18:53,813 --> 00:18:55,443
and then fire retro rockets,

324
00:18:55,473 --> 00:18:59,485
and bring that rocket down to
land vertically and reuse it.

325
00:19:00,237 --> 00:19:02,727
And part of this whole
idea of reusability

326
00:19:02,761 --> 00:19:04,672
is to develop a system

327
00:19:04,711 --> 00:19:06,690
where you can leave Earth orbit,

328
00:19:06,810 --> 00:19:09,195
go to Mars and actually physically land

329
00:19:09,225 --> 00:19:10,570
the rocket on Mars.

330
00:19:10,690 --> 00:19:14,587
3, 2, 1, liftoff!

331
00:19:15,304 --> 00:19:16,988
This is a very hard problem

332
00:19:16,990 --> 00:19:19,711
because you better enter
the Mars atmosphere at

333
00:19:19,755 --> 00:19:22,794
an incredibly blazing fast speed.

334
00:19:24,351 --> 00:19:26,335
Mars atmosphere is so thin that

335
00:19:26,355 --> 00:19:28,766
by the time you hit the ground
if you didn't start the engines,

336
00:19:28,801 --> 00:19:30,470
you'd still be supersonic,

337
00:19:30,505 --> 00:19:34,599
so you've got to basically point
the engines into the wind at Mach 3,

338
00:19:35,365 --> 00:19:37,974
you gotta fire the rockets into

339
00:19:38,195 --> 00:19:40,076
the supersonic airstream,

340
00:19:40,610 --> 00:19:42,215
zero out your blast speed,

341
00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:44,342
deploy landing gear and land.

342
00:19:45,496 --> 00:19:47,298
And you got one shot.

343
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,825
But rockets there really
don't want to work,

344
00:19:52,449 --> 00:19:54,560
like there's a thousand
ways that a rocket can fail

345
00:19:54,585 --> 00:19:56,378
and one way it can succeed.

346
00:20:14,235 --> 00:20:15,851
Who is Joon Seung?

347
00:20:16,435 --> 00:20:17,696
She's my twin,

348
00:20:19,484 --> 00:20:21,405
she's cap comm at mission control.

349
00:20:26,562 --> 00:20:28,208
It wouldn't be easy for
me to do this mission

350
00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:30,358
without her having
my back on the ground.

351
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,461
Mae ID'd a faulty pyro circuit,

352
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:34,714
they're working it now.

353
00:20:35,099 --> 00:20:36,274
You mean they were working it

354
00:20:36,286 --> 00:20:37,841
10 minutes and 20 seconds ago.

355
00:20:38,132 --> 00:20:41,172
Delay or no,
RCS status is still negative.

356
00:20:41,389 --> 00:20:43,024
I have Ben below deck.

357
00:20:43,059 --> 00:20:44,108
Found it.

358
00:20:44,115 --> 00:20:46,035
- Talk to me.
- Mae found him a match.

359
00:20:47,116 --> 00:20:48,992
- There's something else.
- Communications are in and out.

360
00:20:49,989 --> 00:20:51,772
Initial failure was mitigated,

361
00:20:51,892 --> 00:20:53,834
but thrusters are still not operational.

362
00:20:54,203 --> 00:20:55,308
I got it,

363
00:20:55,428 --> 00:20:57,764
the RCS temperature
reading is incorrect;

364
00:20:57,804 --> 00:20:59,361
The sensor isn't showing as faulty.

365
00:20:59,481 --> 00:21:01,262
By the time they receive a transmission

366
00:21:01,267 --> 00:21:02,894
it will be too late.

367
00:21:03,196 --> 00:21:05,353
We just have
to hope they found it too.

368
00:21:05,623 --> 00:21:07,956
If this goes to
hell on the live broadcast,

369
00:21:08,167 --> 00:21:10,431
IMSF may never give us another shot.

370
00:21:11,197 --> 00:21:13,372
If they missed that
window by more than a few seconds,

371
00:21:13,392 --> 00:21:15,651
they're going to shoot
right past the landing site.

372
00:21:15,877 --> 00:21:18,158
- I'm switching the board now.
- Without thrusters,

373
00:21:18,162 --> 00:21:20,566
they won't be able to
re-orient for retropropulsion.

374
00:21:20,597 --> 00:21:22,385
They'll have no way to
slow down for landing.

375
00:21:23,712 --> 00:21:25,265
Thrusters are still offline.

376
00:21:25,516 --> 00:21:26,954
Eyes and ears, Hana.

377
00:21:26,990 --> 00:21:28,306
What are we missing?

378
00:21:28,488 --> 00:21:29,940
Eyes and ears.

379
00:21:30,223 --> 00:21:31,567
What am I looking for?

380
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:32,983
Mae hasn't found it.

381
00:21:33,103 --> 00:21:34,892
We're outside the window for correction.

382
00:21:35,116 --> 00:21:37,261
Reporting all systems nominal.

383
00:21:37,263 --> 00:21:39,173
- I don't see anything.
- Nothing.

384
00:21:39,176 --> 00:21:40,693
- Listen!
- 4 minutes 4 seconds.

385
00:21:40,728 --> 00:21:42,912
- Board is in.
- It's the RCS temp sensor.

386
00:21:42,925 --> 00:21:44,437
Backup system is offline.

387
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,784
The backup sensor
is reading near nominal, Ben,

388
00:21:46,806 --> 00:21:49,103
permission to switch
from primary to backup.

389
00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:51,324
- We're too close to SRP!
- Do it.

390
00:21:51,358 --> 00:21:52,567
Ben you won't make it back

391
00:21:52,579 --> 00:21:54,222
to the flight deck for orientation!

392
00:21:54,478 --> 00:21:55,789
We have to abort!

393
00:21:55,909 --> 00:21:59,258
- I said do it!
- Warning, landing hazard.

394
00:21:59,319 --> 00:22:02,264
- Go.
- Recommend engaging abort.

395
00:22:02,283 --> 00:22:03,216
Engaged.

396
00:22:03,246 --> 00:22:07,679
RCS thrust is engaged,
three minutes 48 seconds.

397
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:09,422
If Ben isn't back on deck soon

398
00:22:09,427 --> 00:22:11,215
he's going to lose
consciousness from the G's;

399
00:22:11,504 --> 00:22:13,497
he could end up down
there during landing.

400
00:22:13,931 --> 00:22:16,843
That's it Ben,
your blood pressure is good.

401
00:22:16,858 --> 00:22:19,286
You know the
countermeasures. Do the drill.

402
00:22:19,305 --> 00:22:20,420
OK.

403
00:22:20,450 --> 00:22:21,629
I'm watching your vitals, Ben.

404
00:22:21,904 --> 00:22:23,233
You can do this.

405
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,380
His blood pressure is stable,

406
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,863
but his heart rate and
breathing are climbing fast,

407
00:22:26,983 --> 00:22:29,252
he's not getting enough
blood to his head.

408
00:22:30,775 --> 00:22:32,892
The G's are climbing too fast!

409
00:22:34,390 --> 00:22:35,868
You're doing great Ben,

410
00:22:35,893 --> 00:22:37,307
tell me what you see.

411
00:22:37,371 --> 00:22:39,123
My periphery is closing in.

412
00:22:39,125 --> 00:22:40,740
5.0.

413
00:22:41,192 --> 00:22:43,895
- Tighten your abdomen.
- 5.1.

414
00:22:43,950 --> 00:22:46,591
That's it Ben, blow it out hard.

415
00:22:47,141 --> 00:22:48,587
1, 2, 3 breathe!

416
00:22:48,642 --> 00:22:49,679
Again!

417
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,181
1, 2, 3, breathe, again.

418
00:22:52,362 --> 00:22:54,338
Guidance can't sufficiently compensate.

419
00:22:54,354 --> 00:22:56,550
We don't have enough control authority.

420
00:22:56,566 --> 00:22:57,926
Prepare for retropropulsion!

421
00:22:57,957 --> 00:23:00,294
1, 2, 3, breathe, again,

422
00:23:00,675 --> 00:23:02,459
1, 2, 3, breathe.

423
00:23:03,283 --> 00:23:05,845
1, 2, 3, breathe, again,

424
00:23:06,155 --> 00:23:08,519
-  1, 2, 3, breathe!
- Counter thrusters are about to fire!

425
00:23:08,691 --> 00:23:10,621
10, 9.

426
00:23:10,641 --> 00:23:11,868
Ben has lost consciousness!

427
00:23:11,883 --> 00:23:13,780
- 8, 7.
- I'm going down.

428
00:23:13,829 --> 00:23:15,471
- 6, 5.
- There's nothing you can do!

429
00:23:15,591 --> 00:23:19,502
4, 3, 2, 1.

430
00:23:19,994 --> 00:23:22,656
Fore and aft jets firing.

431
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,517
Beginning reorientation maneuver!

432
00:23:27,121 --> 00:23:31,992
- Hang on!
- SRP in 3, 2, 1.

433
00:23:38,131 --> 00:23:40,080
Ben's vitals went offline,

434
00:23:40,085 --> 00:23:42,621
- I'm not getting any feedback!
- Radar acquisition.

435
00:23:42,622 --> 00:23:45,178
Terrain relative navigation initiated.

436
00:23:45,596 --> 00:23:47,295
Divert maneuver initiated.

437
00:23:47,334 --> 00:23:48,729
Constant velocity descent.

438
00:23:48,733 --> 00:23:49,922
Still offline.

439
00:23:49,996 --> 00:23:51,577
Begin throttle down,

440
00:23:52,579 --> 00:23:54,277
prep for final descent.

441
00:23:55,937 --> 00:23:57,754
We're coming in too fast!

442
00:23:58,850 --> 00:24:00,037
Angle is off.

443
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:01,625
All systems to compensate.

444
00:24:01,635 --> 00:24:03,142
We have to correct. Throttle down,

445
00:24:03,668 --> 00:24:05,229
throttle down now!

446
00:24:06,433 --> 00:24:07,852
Come on.

447
00:24:12,027 --> 00:24:13,784
Opticals are all offline;

448
00:24:14,144 --> 00:24:15,970
I've got nothing on audio either.

449
00:24:29,733 --> 00:24:31,771
We should have
heard from them by now.

450
00:24:48,023 --> 00:24:49,402
Hana, what is it that you'll miss

451
00:24:49,422 --> 00:24:50,650
most about Earth?

452
00:24:51,229 --> 00:24:52,742
I'll miss my sister.

453
00:24:53,425 --> 00:24:55,679
My mother raised us on her own

454
00:24:55,993 --> 00:24:58,012
and she was army so we
were constantly moving

455
00:24:58,018 --> 00:24:59,433
from place to place and

456
00:24:59,465 --> 00:25:02,388
never really had much of a
concept of what home meant.

457
00:25:02,757 --> 00:25:04,070
Come on, sis.

458
00:25:04,148 --> 00:25:06,140
I think for me and Joon,

459
00:25:06,847 --> 00:25:09,770
I think for us it's
more about what happens

460
00:25:09,890 --> 00:25:11,522
after we get there.

461
00:25:12,968 --> 00:25:14,312
What about you Dr. Kamen,

462
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,553
can you talk a little
bit about the things

463
00:25:15,561 --> 00:25:17,372
you'll miss about home?

464
00:25:19,549 --> 00:25:21,199
What will I miss if I don't go?

465
00:25:24,453 --> 00:25:26,653
It's hard just to leave your family,

466
00:25:27,395 --> 00:25:31,092
I'm gonna miss their voices but,

467
00:25:32,714 --> 00:25:34,631
I know what I'm doing

468
00:25:35,283 --> 00:25:37,307
and I know what I'm leaving behind.

469
00:25:38,906 --> 00:25:41,106
There is a beach
in Victoria Island, Lagos.

470
00:25:41,184 --> 00:25:43,565
I used to sleep on the sand

471
00:25:43,588 --> 00:25:45,887
and wake up with salt around my nose.

472
00:25:46,563 --> 00:25:49,042
We are going to be breathing
recycled air for a long time,

473
00:25:50,202 --> 00:25:53,977
I have a feeling I would trade
my last thermos-stabilized

474
00:25:54,097 --> 00:25:55,832
tapioca pudding

475
00:25:57,769 --> 00:25:59,859
for a taste of that ocean air.

476
00:26:02,001 --> 00:26:05,246
If humankind find
a way to come together and

477
00:26:05,264 --> 00:26:08,098
move toward a healthy evolution,

478
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,860
this mission will have been

479
00:26:10,884 --> 00:26:14,924
about more than just finding
another place to live.

480
00:26:15,780 --> 00:26:17,167
When did you first know you wanted

481
00:26:17,202 --> 00:26:18,526
to become an astronaut?

482
00:26:18,646 --> 00:26:20,317
As far back as I can remember.

483
00:26:20,353 --> 00:26:22,164
I wanted to go into space.

484
00:26:22,682 --> 00:26:24,496
I used to lay out under the sky

485
00:26:24,528 --> 00:26:26,064
when I was a child and just

486
00:26:26,339 --> 00:26:28,170
memorize the stars.

487
00:26:29,667 --> 00:26:31,711
Right from then I always wanted to

488
00:26:32,171 --> 00:26:34,226
be up there, you know?

489
00:26:44,595 --> 00:26:46,745
Mission Control, this is Daedalus.

490
00:26:48,057 --> 00:26:49,550
We're looking at a red planet.

491
00:27:13,526 --> 00:27:15,360
The Daedalus crew has done it,

492
00:27:15,532 --> 00:27:18,050
humankind is on Mars.

493
00:27:18,239 --> 00:27:19,493
Ben.

494
00:27:20,031 --> 00:27:21,709
His vitals are readable, but

495
00:27:21,721 --> 00:27:23,264
he's still unconscious,

496
00:27:23,932 --> 00:27:25,366
I'm going down,

497
00:27:26,274 --> 00:27:27,433
I'll check on Ben.

498
00:27:28,556 --> 00:27:29,727
Confirm our position,

499
00:27:29,749 --> 00:27:30,977
I'll go save the ship.

500
00:27:31,001 --> 00:27:33,342
Woo!

501
00:27:53,277 --> 00:27:54,680
I'm getting off nominal ratings

502
00:27:54,707 --> 00:27:56,381
up and down the engine systems.

503
00:27:57,033 --> 00:27:59,104
Gyro circuits are offline.

504
00:28:00,463 --> 00:28:02,003
Tell me what you see.

505
00:28:08,089 --> 00:28:09,625
What do you see?

506
00:28:11,090 --> 00:28:12,505
It's not good.

507
00:28:13,887 --> 00:28:15,562
How far did we overshoot?

508
00:28:17,444 --> 00:28:18,391
Ben?

509
00:28:18,865 --> 00:28:20,737
We are coming, come on.

510
00:28:22,856 --> 00:28:24,230
Javier, hurry!

511
00:28:24,605 --> 00:28:26,749
_

512
00:28:32,348 --> 00:28:35,813
So the long
term goal is how fast can we

513
00:28:36,021 --> 00:28:39,332
establish a self-sustaining
city on Mars.

514
00:28:39,452 --> 00:28:41,986
Do we focus on
just trying to get the ship there

515
00:28:41,988 --> 00:28:44,471
and then maybe send
people some other time?

516
00:28:44,546 --> 00:28:45,981
I think we'd send a ship,

517
00:28:45,989 --> 00:28:47,509
make sure it could land OK.

518
00:28:47,629 --> 00:28:50,102
Assuming that lands OK
and it seems to be working,

519
00:28:50,263 --> 00:28:52,714
on the next Mars mission
we would send people,

520
00:28:52,887 --> 00:28:54,628
and additional equipment.

521
00:28:55,013 --> 00:28:57,484
You just need a lot of equipment to

522
00:28:57,503 --> 00:28:59,197
keep people alive on Mars.

523
00:28:59,727 --> 00:29:01,653
And so we're gonna want to assemble

524
00:29:01,664 --> 00:29:03,938
as much of a base as we possibly can.

525
00:29:03,966 --> 00:29:06,784
So some of that will
have to be landed first,

526
00:29:07,047 --> 00:29:09,562
may have to be robotically put together,

527
00:29:09,682 --> 00:29:11,931
and we may have to do it in stages.

528
00:29:12,913 --> 00:29:15,683
Prepositioning a
base camp is really the only

529
00:29:15,691 --> 00:29:18,402
plausible way to do a
manned mission to Mars,

530
00:29:18,418 --> 00:29:19,596
let alone a colony.

531
00:29:19,859 --> 00:29:21,503
You would need oxygen,

532
00:29:21,722 --> 00:29:23,435
you would need water,

533
00:29:23,631 --> 00:29:24,861
then you would need food,

534
00:29:24,873 --> 00:29:26,363
a source of calories.

535
00:29:26,650 --> 00:29:28,332
How do you generate power on Mars,

536
00:29:28,403 --> 00:29:30,363
we're gonna pre-position solar panels,

537
00:29:30,434 --> 00:29:32,855
but you can only generate so
much energy from solar panels,

538
00:29:32,863 --> 00:29:34,204
what if you're caught in a dust storm?

539
00:29:34,206 --> 00:29:35,868
We can pre-position a reactor

540
00:29:35,891 --> 00:29:37,864
to make power, to make propellant,

541
00:29:37,877 --> 00:29:39,600
maybe even additional habitats.

542
00:29:39,655 --> 00:29:42,099
You would
send machines to make oxygen,

543
00:29:42,111 --> 00:29:44,964
machines that suck water
out of the atmosphere.

544
00:29:44,975 --> 00:29:47,206
You really need to send 3d printers

545
00:29:47,219 --> 00:29:50,036
so people can build
their own things on Mars.

546
00:29:50,306 --> 00:29:52,015
And then we'd land a crew

547
00:29:52,058 --> 00:29:53,963
near those facilities.

548
00:29:54,419 --> 00:29:55,754
I think the first few missions

549
00:29:55,769 --> 00:29:57,207
people would live in the ship

550
00:29:57,405 --> 00:29:58,898
so that the most important
thing really would be

551
00:29:58,909 --> 00:30:01,066
just to make sure that we land OK,

552
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:02,733
and don't damage the ship.

553
00:30:03,019 --> 00:30:05,093
But you can't live there very long,

554
00:30:05,213 --> 00:30:08,020
cosmic radiation is
gonna penetrate the ship.

555
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:09,473
And what happens if your landing

556
00:30:09,475 --> 00:30:10,598
is off course?

557
00:30:10,621 --> 00:30:12,609
That is a real problem.

558
00:30:12,787 --> 00:30:14,799
There are so
many things that could go wrong,

559
00:30:14,807 --> 00:30:16,413
and there's no help.

560
00:30:16,533 --> 00:30:18,868
There's no emergency supply rocket

561
00:30:18,888 --> 00:30:20,315
that's coming right away.

562
00:30:21,262 --> 00:30:22,645
_

563
00:30:22,728 --> 00:30:25,125
Our biggest challenge on this mission

564
00:30:25,820 --> 00:30:29,155
is gonna be everyday survival you know.

565
00:30:29,772 --> 00:30:32,232
Ben, Ben, can you hear me?

566
00:30:36,848 --> 00:30:39,205
His respirator is damaged.

567
00:30:40,513 --> 00:30:42,273
We got to get his helmet off.

568
00:30:43,625 --> 00:30:46,178
Secure his spine, we're gonna move him.

569
00:30:46,206 --> 00:30:48,629
Yeah, OK, buddy.

570
00:30:49,561 --> 00:30:50,964
OK.

571
00:30:51,278 --> 00:30:52,469
Ugh.

572
00:30:58,622 --> 00:30:59,863
You OK, buddy?

573
00:31:00,276 --> 00:31:02,310
You passed out during the landing.

574
00:31:02,574 --> 00:31:04,217
We need to check on you.

575
00:31:04,337 --> 00:31:05,701
I'm OK,

576
00:31:06,891 --> 00:31:08,082
I'm OK.

577
00:31:09,294 --> 00:31:11,165
Hey, we made it.

578
00:31:15,974 --> 00:31:18,300
Telemetry indicates
the RCS remained offline

579
00:31:18,316 --> 00:31:20,537
for the first 91 seconds of entry.

580
00:31:20,792 --> 00:31:22,620
I've got Daedalus position back online.

581
00:31:22,858 --> 00:31:24,002
How bad?

582
00:31:24,473 --> 00:31:25,994
Put sat on the board.

583
00:31:30,477 --> 00:31:31,911
How far are they from base camp?

584
00:31:37,125 --> 00:31:38,299
How far?

585
00:31:39,510 --> 00:31:41,659
75.3 kilometers.

586
00:31:50,176 --> 00:31:50,938
We're cross checking

587
00:31:50,954 --> 00:31:52,977
all remaining life
support resources now.

588
00:31:53,154 --> 00:31:54,482
But unless Daedalus can tether

589
00:31:54,517 --> 00:31:56,352
to the infrastructure at base camp,

590
00:31:57,095 --> 00:31:58,666
it's only a matter of time.

591
00:31:59,302 --> 00:32:01,550
There has to be
a way to make a suborbital

592
00:32:01,562 --> 00:32:03,943
flight to get Daedalus to base camp.

593
00:32:04,312 --> 00:32:07,094
There's barely enough
fuel to get them off the ground.

594
00:32:08,223 --> 00:32:09,840
They're all alone up there,

595
00:32:10,367 --> 00:32:12,190
what are we telling them guys?

596
00:32:13,117 --> 00:32:14,989
Showing enough residual propellant

597
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:16,665
in the system to make a single burst,

598
00:32:16,676 --> 00:32:19,494
but they're going to come down hard.

599
00:32:19,914 --> 00:32:21,912
Even harder as they just did.

600
00:32:22,126 --> 00:32:24,173
Landing loads were off the chart.

601
00:32:24,546 --> 00:32:25,658
She's right,

602
00:32:26,260 --> 00:32:29,019
Mae is showing engine damage
from the off-nominal landing.

603
00:32:29,292 --> 00:32:30,955
If they can't make any repairs,

604
00:32:31,203 --> 00:32:33,217
fuel won't make a difference anyway.

605
00:32:34,656 --> 00:32:36,498
What is Ben's status?

606
00:32:42,714 --> 00:32:45,302
I can see
substantial blunt trauma from impact.

607
00:32:45,304 --> 00:32:47,194
I want to do a full battery of scans

608
00:32:47,206 --> 00:32:49,365
as soon as the equipment
is prepped and calibrated.

609
00:32:49,409 --> 00:32:50,790
I said I'm fine.

610
00:32:51,148 --> 00:32:53,410
It's just the transition from micro-G's.

611
00:32:53,633 --> 00:32:56,049
Ben, I need to run proper tests.

612
00:32:56,103 --> 00:32:57,439
I understand,

613
00:32:58,956 --> 00:33:00,778
I need to know our status first.

614
00:33:01,727 --> 00:33:03,210
How long do we have?

615
00:33:04,630 --> 00:33:06,962
Life support status says

616
00:33:07,483 --> 00:33:09,846
we've got three more
days of breathable air.

617
00:33:10,853 --> 00:33:12,561
Daedalus isn't supposed to operate

618
00:33:12,565 --> 00:33:14,644
independently from base camp.

619
00:33:14,806 --> 00:33:16,731
It's just not viable.

620
00:33:17,045 --> 00:33:18,899
Come on, let's fix this,

621
00:33:19,019 --> 00:33:20,515
it's our guys up there.

622
00:33:22,357 --> 00:33:24,218
Engines are still offline.

623
00:33:25,289 --> 00:33:26,920
Robert, did you troubleshoot

624
00:33:26,946 --> 00:33:28,467
the propellant flow control?

625
00:33:30,472 --> 00:33:31,989
Nothing I do to the electronics

626
00:33:31,999 --> 00:33:33,580
will fix the engines.

627
00:33:33,986 --> 00:33:36,810
I can't get the ship moving
without a resupply from home.

628
00:33:39,025 --> 00:33:42,076
I can't get the ship moving
without a resupply from home.

629
00:33:47,512 --> 00:33:49,834
No chance of bunny
hopping Daedalus to base camp.

630
00:33:49,836 --> 00:33:51,167
There's no fix.

631
00:33:51,337 --> 00:33:53,568
I could fix this if I had the 3D printer

632
00:33:53,588 --> 00:33:54,972
from the Russian workshop.

633
00:33:55,092 --> 00:33:57,178
I could fix this if I had the 3D printer

634
00:33:57,188 --> 00:33:59,019
from the Russian workshop.

635
00:34:06,416 --> 00:34:08,341
The Russian workshop module.

636
00:34:08,881 --> 00:34:10,713
It has independent
environmental systems.

637
00:34:11,184 --> 00:34:13,979
And it was pre-positioned for
access to candidate lava tubes.

638
00:34:15,860 --> 00:34:17,520
It'd be tight, but...

639
00:34:18,340 --> 00:34:20,679
What if we call that the new base camp?

640
00:34:21,931 --> 00:34:23,965
If they upgrade the
environmental control systems

641
00:34:23,988 --> 00:34:25,502
and air and water recycling.

642
00:34:25,504 --> 00:34:27,220
They'd have a chance.

643
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,804
That doesn't solve
the transportation problem.

644
00:34:30,054 --> 00:34:31,642
Can we get the rover to them?

645
00:34:31,762 --> 00:34:34,208
- Checking the route.
- I'll check max payload.

646
00:34:35,154 --> 00:34:37,548
The terrain
approaching Daedalus is complex,

647
00:34:37,830 --> 00:34:40,237
a fair amount of subsidence,

648
00:34:40,653 --> 00:34:42,568
portions that may not be stable.

649
00:34:42,688 --> 00:34:44,732
Can they do it, or not?

650
00:34:45,157 --> 00:34:47,188
Their satellite view is in and out,

651
00:34:47,308 --> 00:34:49,502
we have to hand off
rover command and control

652
00:34:49,569 --> 00:34:52,006
and let Daedalus navigate
the local topography.

653
00:34:53,523 --> 00:34:55,235
Do they have an option?

654
00:34:55,434 --> 00:34:57,507
Initiating override,

655
00:34:57,734 --> 00:35:02,282
transferring remote
rover control to Daedalus.

656
00:35:15,922 --> 00:35:17,483
You're lost,

657
00:35:17,870 --> 00:35:19,196
you must be lost.

658
00:35:20,725 --> 00:35:23,187
You sound like my ex-wife.

659
00:35:24,727 --> 00:35:26,354
You're lost,

660
00:35:26,474 --> 00:35:27,631
you must be lost.

661
00:35:27,656 --> 00:35:29,366
You sound like my ex-wife.

662
00:35:29,368 --> 00:35:30,885
Show me their progress.

663
00:35:30,940 --> 00:35:33,021
Maneuvering that
last kilometer of terrain

664
00:35:33,052 --> 00:35:36,109
from here will be painfully slow.

665
00:35:36,527 --> 00:35:38,670
You should have let me drive.

666
00:35:48,254 --> 00:35:50,166
Nothing on the externals.

667
00:36:00,131 --> 00:36:01,542
I told you,

668
00:36:01,947 --> 00:36:03,390
I'm not lost.

669
00:36:04,268 --> 00:36:05,803
Daedalus.

670
00:36:09,290 --> 00:36:10,727
Daedalus!

671
00:36:14,213 --> 00:36:16,386
That's our girl.

672
00:36:16,849 --> 00:36:19,272
It's such a beautiful thing.

673
00:36:25,479 --> 00:36:28,364
About time something goes right.

674
00:36:36,383 --> 00:36:39,359
We trained for every eventuality

675
00:36:39,372 --> 00:36:42,662
that it started to feel like
we'd already landed on Mars,

676
00:36:44,977 --> 00:36:47,697
like we'd already
succeeded in our mission,

677
00:36:49,772 --> 00:36:51,239
but we hadn't.

678
00:36:53,952 --> 00:36:55,247
We were leaving the ship

679
00:36:55,272 --> 00:36:57,046
that was supposed to have sustained us

680
00:36:57,070 --> 00:36:59,354
for our first two years on Mars.

681
00:37:01,226 --> 00:37:03,253
The mission to find a
new home in this place

682
00:37:03,277 --> 00:37:05,211
was going to be hard.

683
00:37:07,329 --> 00:37:09,975
Harder than any of us had imagined.

684
00:37:17,242 --> 00:37:20,503
Ben, I need to
run a full body scan on you.

685
00:37:20,539 --> 00:37:21,792
Listen,

686
00:37:22,388 --> 00:37:25,562
priority is getting the crew
to base camp, you understand?

687
00:37:25,863 --> 00:37:28,042
After that I'm all yours.

688
00:37:29,251 --> 00:37:30,669
It's time.

689
00:37:31,157 --> 00:37:32,419
Great,

690
00:37:32,794 --> 00:37:34,421
I'll see you down there.

691
00:37:34,541 --> 00:37:35,833
Are you OK?

692
00:37:35,864 --> 00:37:37,792
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

693
00:39:01,097 --> 00:39:03,142
For that brief moment,

694
00:39:03,670 --> 00:39:06,745
our pain and worries were gone,

695
00:39:08,507 --> 00:39:11,988
there was no speech, no theater,

696
00:39:12,525 --> 00:39:15,057
there was only awe that we had arrived.

697
00:39:15,327 --> 00:39:19,729
And the acceptance that
we were just beginning.

698
00:39:22,694 --> 00:39:26,194
If I could talk to the first people

699
00:39:26,212 --> 00:39:28,895
to stand on the surface of Mars,

700
00:39:29,015 --> 00:39:31,903
I would ask them to remember

701
00:39:31,940 --> 00:39:34,285
that everything they're about to see,

702
00:39:34,899 --> 00:39:37,624
they'll be seeing for our whole species,

703
00:39:37,925 --> 00:39:43,187
they'll be experiencing,
living a dream that

704
00:39:43,307 --> 00:39:47,478
our recent ancestors would
have deemed impossible.

705
00:39:47,816 --> 00:39:50,345
And it's not just
science fiction anymore,

706
00:39:50,628 --> 00:39:53,345
there are people on this
planet right this moment

707
00:39:53,465 --> 00:39:55,515
that are actually planning

708
00:39:55,705 --> 00:39:58,087
and working to perfect

709
00:39:58,093 --> 00:40:01,150
the machinery that's necessary
to make that possible.

710
00:40:02,876 --> 00:40:06,621
_

711
00:40:08,450 --> 00:40:10,212
T-minus 4 minutes.

712
00:40:11,010 --> 00:40:13,159
We've reached a tipping point.

713
00:40:14,215 --> 00:40:16,204
Thousands of years from now,

714
00:40:16,585 --> 00:40:18,095
whatever we become,

715
00:40:18,837 --> 00:40:20,311
whoever we are,

716
00:40:20,431 --> 00:40:22,816
we'll look back at
these next few decades

717
00:40:22,936 --> 00:40:24,529
as the moment in time

718
00:40:24,649 --> 00:40:26,690
that we are moving off this planet

719
00:40:26,886 --> 00:40:28,765
as a multi-planetary species.

720
00:40:28,802 --> 00:40:30,525
VC and DC verify F9

721
00:40:30,554 --> 00:40:32,877
- and Dragon are in startup.
- F9 is in startup.

722
00:40:32,997 --> 00:40:36,069
And SpaceX stands as nothing less

723
00:40:36,104 --> 00:40:38,368
than a massive game changer.

724
00:40:39,491 --> 00:40:41,475
Stage one,
stage two, pressing for flight.

725
00:40:41,519 --> 00:40:43,518
Elon Musk says the only reason

726
00:40:43,638 --> 00:40:47,020
that I have founded this company
is to get human beings to Mars.

727
00:40:47,059 --> 00:40:48,934
LC LD go for launch.

728
00:40:49,054 --> 00:40:52,422
The key
to making Mars economical

729
00:40:52,542 --> 00:40:54,931
is the reusability of rockets.

730
00:40:54,975 --> 00:40:56,385
T-minus 1 minute.

731
00:40:56,429 --> 00:40:58,290
I just don't
think there's any way to have

732
00:40:58,300 --> 00:41:01,551
a self-sustaining Mars
base without reusability.

733
00:41:01,732 --> 00:41:05,136
Getting the cost down
is really fundamental.

734
00:41:05,256 --> 00:41:08,211
If wooden sailing ships in
the old days were not reusable,

735
00:41:08,250 --> 00:41:09,930
I don't think the United
States would exist.

736
00:41:09,959 --> 00:41:11,375
T-minus 30 seconds.

737
00:41:11,377 --> 00:41:13,736
And if they nail this ability

738
00:41:13,781 --> 00:41:16,973
to land a rocket anyway
they want on Earth,

739
00:41:17,169 --> 00:41:19,256
then they can nail doing it on Mars.

740
00:41:19,306 --> 00:41:20,717
T-minus 15.

741
00:41:20,837 --> 00:41:22,709
This flight is a huge deal.

742
00:41:22,829 --> 00:41:25,292
We haven't yet landed the rocket.

743
00:41:25,412 --> 00:41:28,567
So this is gonna be hopefully
our first successful landing.

744
00:41:28,901 --> 00:41:34,353
T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,

745
00:41:34,473 --> 00:41:40,625
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.

746
00:41:41,721 --> 00:41:43,282
We have lift off.

747
00:42:04,096 --> 00:42:06,208
Vehicle has reached maximum pressure.

748
00:42:06,606 --> 00:42:09,129
Stage one propulsion
is still not working.

749
00:42:09,547 --> 00:42:13,161
Altitude 32 kilometers, speed
at 1 kilometer per second,

750
00:42:13,181 --> 00:42:15,759
down range distance 13 kilometers.

751
00:42:45,984 --> 00:42:48,051
Space is defined by the strange

752
00:42:48,056 --> 00:42:51,710
relationship between
failure, risk, and innovation.

753
00:42:52,669 --> 00:42:54,341
Which is you can take risks,

754
00:42:54,372 --> 00:42:56,668
you can try something very innovative,

755
00:42:57,626 --> 00:42:59,799
but you're more likely to fail.

756
00:43:02,476 --> 00:43:05,637
Some people say that
the challenges of a Mars mission

757
00:43:05,757 --> 00:43:07,989
are excessively formidable.

758
00:43:08,431 --> 00:43:10,487
I entirely disagree.

759
00:43:10,898 --> 00:43:15,031
I believe that far from being
the weak link in the chain,

760
00:43:15,343 --> 00:43:17,504
human ingenuity, and the human psyche

761
00:43:17,539 --> 00:43:19,844
is gonna be the strongest
link in the chain.

762
00:43:21,016 --> 00:43:23,201
There's a
segment of people in this world

763
00:43:23,214 --> 00:43:25,037
that live on the edge.

764
00:43:25,755 --> 00:43:30,273
The talent of these people
is evaluating the risk

765
00:43:30,819 --> 00:43:33,127
and always the rewards.

766
00:43:34,772 --> 00:43:38,708
If you figure that the
reward is worth the risk.

767
00:43:40,083 --> 00:43:41,998
That yeah, it's risky,

768
00:43:42,227 --> 00:43:45,437
I know I could get killed doing this,

769
00:43:46,229 --> 00:43:50,028
but it's doing something
that man had not done before.

770
00:43:52,220 --> 00:43:55,003
So is it worth it? Mhm, it's worth it.

771
00:44:04,824 --> 00:44:06,899
Mission control confirmed the rover

772
00:44:06,919 --> 00:44:09,503
is 2000 kilos over maximum payload

773
00:44:09,545 --> 00:44:11,271
with all of us aboard.

774
00:44:12,210 --> 00:44:13,806
I ran the numbers,

775
00:44:13,836 --> 00:44:16,329
the odds are we won't make it.

776
00:44:24,728 --> 00:44:26,115
Yeah,

777
00:44:28,970 --> 00:44:30,720
but someone will.

778
00:44:33,077 --> 00:44:34,759
Come on...

779
00:44:44,519 --> 00:44:46,171
Let's get to work.

780
00:44:49,958 --> 00:44:53,169
We had 75 kilometers ahead of us.

781
00:44:54,458 --> 00:44:56,092
Over brutal terrain,

782
00:44:56,116 --> 00:44:59,259
and a rover thousands
of kilos over capacity.

783
00:45:02,329 --> 00:45:04,055
Even if we made it that far,

784
00:45:04,079 --> 00:45:05,816
our new base camp was a workshop

785
00:45:05,847 --> 00:45:07,566
that would barely hold us all.

786
00:45:11,814 --> 00:45:13,644
Temperatures would drop to minus

787
00:45:13,662 --> 00:45:16,136
70 degrees before nightfall,

788
00:45:18,775 --> 00:45:20,814
and the only help we had

789
00:45:22,036 --> 00:45:23,945
was somewhere up there

790
00:45:24,614 --> 00:45:26,781
on a little blue dot.
