1
00:00:00,799 --> 00:00:03,965
Previously on Mars...
2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,146
When you believe
in a goal the way we believed in Mars,
3
00:00:07,753 --> 00:00:11,632
conviction alone will sustain
you through almost any test.
4
00:00:11,667 --> 00:00:12,840
Robert!
5
00:00:12,875 --> 00:00:16,632
If you find evidence
of a second genesis.
6
00:00:16,667 --> 00:00:19,131
Evolution can begin again.
7
00:00:19,166 --> 00:00:21,173
I've got faith.
8
00:00:21,208 --> 00:00:23,048
You know,
I used to stand in the doorway
9
00:00:23,083 --> 00:00:25,485
of the farmhouse where I
grew up looking at all of the crops,
10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,715
thinking about
all the people they'd feed.
11
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:31,632
If you push too hard
too fast, something's gonna break.
12
00:00:31,667 --> 00:00:35,382
If they fail, everyone's out.
13
00:00:36,131 --> 00:00:38,881
But faith
doesn't guarantee success.
14
00:00:38,916 --> 00:00:42,215
Without plants
we're nothing.
15
00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:47,133
The real test
is what happens when you fail.

Richardson, Leslie.
18
00:02:11,848 --> 00:02:16,009
Phase 2, personal entry.
19
00:02:45,482 --> 00:02:48,196
Damn tragedy.
20
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:57,672
Oh God.
21
00:03:00,898 --> 00:03:04,328
The entire
west section is destroyed.
22
00:03:28,375 --> 00:03:30,224
Paul was always late.
23
00:03:31,614 --> 00:03:34,143
He would get so caught up
in his work that he would
24
00:03:34,856 --> 00:03:36,695
just lose time,
25
00:03:38,488 --> 00:03:40,450
completely forget about it.
26
00:03:44,255 --> 00:03:48,215
And then he would show
up hours later, filthy,
27
00:03:48,690 --> 00:03:51,911
like a kid that had been playing
out in the mud all day.
28
00:03:53,357 --> 00:03:56,065
And always with that look on his face,
29
00:03:56,100 --> 00:04:01,690
that look as if he knew
that he was in trouble.
30
00:04:01,725 --> 00:04:04,232
But it was all worth it.
31
00:04:04,267 --> 00:04:06,690
There was this one night I remember,
32
00:04:06,725 --> 00:04:09,731
It was while we were living
out in South America,
33
00:04:09,766 --> 00:04:12,826
he was still in the
forest collecting samples.
34
00:04:14,675 --> 00:04:17,291
He was late, as usual.
35
00:04:18,565 --> 00:04:20,440
But somehow it was different.
36
00:04:20,475 --> 00:04:22,418
Morning came.
37
00:04:24,491 --> 00:04:26,314
Another day went by.
38
00:04:27,226 --> 00:04:30,032
Finally I could hear
his footsteps approaching.
39
00:04:31,427 --> 00:04:34,530
So, I rushed out to meet him.
40
00:04:37,491 --> 00:04:40,538
And all of the sudden all of
that fear and worry that I'd
41
00:04:40,565 --> 00:04:47,152
felt turned into anger, rage.
42
00:04:50,586 --> 00:04:53,296
I couldn't believe
how selfish he'd been.
43
00:04:57,065 --> 00:04:59,208
And then he appeared.
44
00:05:02,385 --> 00:05:04,982
Victor.
45
00:05:06,552 --> 00:05:08,560
There he is.
46
00:05:09,465 --> 00:05:14,369
Covered
from top to bottom in mud.
47
00:05:21,049 --> 00:05:23,680
With that look on his face...
48
00:05:30,041 --> 00:05:31,506
that look.
49
00:05:37,708 --> 00:05:39,924
And all I could say was,
50
00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:50,590
"I love you."
51
00:05:56,217 --> 00:05:59,985
Without
plants we're nothing.
52
00:06:02,065 --> 00:06:05,441
We are
not nothing, my friend.
53
00:06:40,607 --> 00:06:43,190
We'd lost seven of our own.
54
00:06:43,225 --> 00:06:46,259
The lab and the
greenhouse were destroyed.
55
00:06:48,856 --> 00:06:51,898
Olympus Town was on complete
lock down until the nations of
56
00:06:51,933 --> 00:06:55,426
the IMSF decided on the
fate of our mission.
57
00:06:55,898 --> 00:06:58,697
Was Mars going to be
a giant leap forward,
58
00:06:59,649 --> 00:07:01,898
or just a passing novelty.
59
00:07:01,933 --> 00:07:05,455
It wasn't the first time humankind
had faced this question.
60
00:07:17,649 --> 00:07:20,649
We accomplished
the impossible by
61
00:07:20,684 --> 00:07:22,922
stepping on the Moon.
62
00:07:23,947 --> 00:07:25,731
This was, the first hop.
63
00:07:25,766 --> 00:07:29,232
And there would be a skip,
and a jump afterwards.
64
00:07:29,691 --> 00:07:32,738
And we'd keep going and going and going,
65
00:07:33,107 --> 00:07:37,232
and the future would be
one of endless possibilities,
66
00:07:37,273 --> 00:07:40,815
where the Cosmos was ours.
67
00:07:40,850 --> 00:07:42,809
What do you think
about this Moon landing?
68
00:07:42,844 --> 00:07:44,607
Well it's the
beginning of a new frontier,
69
00:07:44,642 --> 00:07:46,607
a gateway to Mars.
70
00:07:46,642 --> 00:07:49,507
That came
to a very abrupt halt.
71
00:07:49,940 --> 00:07:52,440
A major
turning point for Apollo was
72
00:07:52,475 --> 00:07:55,315
the Apollo 13 mission in 1970.
73
00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:57,023
Alright Houston,
we've got a problem.
74
00:07:57,058 --> 00:07:59,148
There is a
bulletin from ABC news.
75
00:07:59,183 --> 00:08:01,482
The Apollo 13 spacecraft
has had a serious
76
00:08:01,517 --> 00:08:03,273
power supply malfunction.
77
00:08:03,308 --> 00:08:05,773
A late report says the
spacecraft now is operating
78
00:08:05,808 --> 00:08:08,691
on battery power alone,
all unnecessary equipment
79
00:08:08,726 --> 00:08:10,819
is being turned off.
80
00:08:11,607 --> 00:08:13,716
Let's everybody keep cool.
81
00:08:13,741 --> 00:08:17,357
Let's not make it any worse by guessing.
82
00:08:17,392 --> 00:08:19,940
We came
close to losing astronauts.
83
00:08:19,981 --> 00:08:22,207
And it scared the living daylights out
84
00:08:22,242 --> 00:08:23,856
of lots of people.
85
00:08:23,891 --> 00:08:27,315
And some leaders at NASA
said we gotta stop this.
86
00:08:27,931 --> 00:08:30,035
This is too risky.
87
00:08:31,357 --> 00:08:34,357
We all lived
through that in real time.
88
00:08:35,050 --> 00:08:38,228
We were all wrapped up with
the fate of the astronauts.
89
00:08:39,815 --> 00:08:42,981
It was a close call to get them back and
90
00:08:43,016 --> 00:08:45,483
that really spooked Nixon.
91
00:08:45,981 --> 00:08:49,421
It soured him on the
notion of sending humans away
92
00:08:49,456 --> 00:08:51,232
from Earth into deep space.
93
00:08:51,267 --> 00:08:55,482
So it was a catalytic
turning point in attitudes
94
00:08:55,517 --> 00:08:57,482
towards space exploration.
95
00:08:57,517 --> 00:09:00,565
Jack and
Fred and I are very proud and
96
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,856
glad to be back here in Texas tonight.
97
00:09:02,891 --> 00:09:05,691
There were times when
we really didn't think that
98
00:09:05,726 --> 00:09:07,232
we'd make it back here.
99
00:09:07,267 --> 00:09:10,184
After the anomaly on 13,
100
00:09:10,219 --> 00:09:14,731
I thought that our space
exploration would continue to go.
101
00:09:14,766 --> 00:09:17,856
But the extreme rate of
progress slowed down.
102
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:19,691
Apollo was this massive promise
103
00:09:19,726 --> 00:09:21,565
of what was going to be going on, right?
104
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,440
We were going to the Moon, not to stop.
105
00:09:24,475 --> 00:09:29,023
There were plans beyond the
Moon but all this got killed
106
00:09:29,058 --> 00:09:34,440
as the political will
petered out and was gone.
107
00:09:36,357 --> 00:09:39,172
On a Mars
mission there may be some loss
108
00:09:39,207 --> 00:09:42,660
of life in the process,
there may be failures along the road,
109
00:09:42,695 --> 00:09:44,752
but people will take it on.
110
00:09:44,793 --> 00:09:47,576
One of the things that you
have to ask is:
111
00:09:47,601 --> 00:09:50,273
"Are the rest of us willing to allow
them to do that?’
112
00:09:50,308 --> 00:09:53,940
Space exploration is
subject to public opinion,
113
00:09:53,975 --> 00:09:55,565
and political support.
114
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,232
There's no question about that.
115
00:09:57,267 --> 00:10:00,622
If you send astronauts
to Mars and they die there,
116
00:10:00,657 --> 00:10:02,731
I guarantee you, public
opinion will prohibit you from
117
00:10:02,766 --> 00:10:05,386
ever doing it again.
118
00:10:13,232 --> 00:10:15,273
As we buried our friends,
119
00:10:15,308 --> 00:10:18,657
the fate of the mission was
back on Earth in the hands of
120
00:10:18,692 --> 00:10:20,796
my sister and the IMSF.
121
00:10:40,727 --> 00:10:42,104
Hi Ed.
122
00:10:43,383 --> 00:10:45,273
How long until we know?
123
00:10:45,308 --> 00:10:47,940
I told the
press everything I know;
124
00:10:47,975 --> 00:10:50,273
the nations are meeting to
discuss how to proceed and
125
00:10:50,308 --> 00:10:52,107
then we'll make an
official announcement.
126
00:10:52,142 --> 00:10:54,440
You can't let them give up.
127
00:10:54,735 --> 00:10:56,607
You just can't.
128
00:10:56,919 --> 00:11:01,079
They knew something like this
was a possibility, we all did.
129
00:11:03,471 --> 00:11:05,260
Seven of
the world's most beloved
130
00:11:05,307 --> 00:11:07,133
scientists and astronauts are dead.
131
00:11:07,981 --> 00:11:10,190
Does that mean anything to you?
132
00:11:10,225 --> 00:11:11,815
Of course it
means something to me.
133
00:11:11,850 --> 00:11:13,765
What are you talking about?
134
00:11:15,301 --> 00:11:17,115
It's a time to be strong,
135
00:11:18,135 --> 00:11:20,524
to make a statement that
says we're here to stay.
136
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,357
You're not going
to influence my recommendation
137
00:11:22,392 --> 00:11:23,815
to the committee.
138
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:25,315
We've come too far Joon.
139
00:11:25,350 --> 00:11:26,981
If the train is derailing,
140
00:11:27,016 --> 00:11:29,410
there's nothing I can do
to keep it on the tracks.
141
00:11:30,148 --> 00:11:31,898
The nations respect you,
142
00:11:32,331 --> 00:11:33,981
they will listen to you;
143
00:11:34,347 --> 00:11:36,947
you can inspire them to stay the course.
144
00:11:37,815 --> 00:11:39,731
Even if we can Ed,
145
00:11:39,766 --> 00:11:41,324
I'm not sure that we should.
146
00:11:41,359 --> 00:11:42,491
What?
147
00:11:43,659 --> 00:11:45,023
I'm not sure that we should.
148
00:11:45,058 --> 00:11:46,858
Me, I'm sure of one thing.
149
00:11:47,164 --> 00:11:48,756
I won't let go.
150
00:11:58,785 --> 00:12:02,409
Dreamers
of space have always had
151
00:12:02,434 --> 00:12:06,939
their eyes, their hopes,
their aspirations,
152
00:12:06,974 --> 00:12:08,892
on getting to Mars.
153
00:12:09,660 --> 00:12:11,786
Mars has been the goal since
154
00:12:11,821 --> 00:12:14,964
Wernher Von Braun
got involved with NASA.
155
00:12:19,828 --> 00:12:22,661
Liftoff, we have a liftoff!
156
00:12:22,696 --> 00:12:26,620
Von Braun
overbuilt entirely the rocket
157
00:12:26,661 --> 00:12:28,120
to go to the Moon.
158
00:12:28,162 --> 00:12:30,828
Saturn 5 is the largest, longest,
159
00:12:30,863 --> 00:12:33,828
and heaviest machine
ever built by humans.
160
00:12:33,863 --> 00:12:36,828
It's absolute overkill
for going to the Moon.
161
00:12:36,863 --> 00:12:39,828
And the reason is, Von Braun
didn't wanna go to the Moon.
162
00:12:39,863 --> 00:12:41,995
He wanted to go to Mars.
163
00:12:42,030 --> 00:12:44,263
The only reason he got
involved in rocketry was
164
00:12:44,298 --> 00:12:46,843
because ever since he's a little kid,
165
00:12:46,878 --> 00:12:50,245
he's focused on this
idea of getting to Mars.
166
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,995
He invented the V2 rocket when he was in
167
00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:55,572
his late twenties and
it was the first thing
168
00:12:55,607 --> 00:12:57,245
that ever went into space from Earth.
169
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,995
Von Braun surrenders to US forces.
170
00:13:00,030 --> 00:13:03,412
He and his fellow rocket
scientists actually welcomed
171
00:13:03,447 --> 00:13:04,661
by the Americans.
172
00:13:04,696 --> 00:13:05,995
After the war,
173
00:13:06,030 --> 00:13:08,162
he writes a book called
"das Marsprojekt",
174
00:13:08,197 --> 00:13:12,145
which is basically a manual
on how to build a fleet of
175
00:13:12,180 --> 00:13:15,537
ships that can get to Mars
and get humans back.
176
00:13:15,572 --> 00:13:18,078
He's worked out all the
equations, all the details,
177
00:13:18,113 --> 00:13:20,412
of how it could actually be done.
178
00:13:20,447 --> 00:13:24,037
And it captured the mind of the world.
179
00:13:24,072 --> 00:13:26,320
Nobody was thinking
about going to the Moon;
180
00:13:26,355 --> 00:13:30,181
they were all imagining going to Mars.
181
00:13:31,845 --> 00:13:34,037
This closes a golden chapter
182
00:13:34,072 --> 00:13:36,537
in the age of space exploration.
183
00:13:36,847 --> 00:13:38,370
At the
end of the Apollo program,
184
00:13:38,405 --> 00:13:40,752
NASA's beginning to lose its focus:
185
00:13:40,787 --> 00:13:41,818
what do we do next?
186
00:13:41,853 --> 00:13:45,919
And there are two proposals
on Richard Nixon's desk.
187
00:13:45,954 --> 00:13:49,500
One proposal is that
we build a spaceplane,
188
00:13:49,535 --> 00:13:51,203
called the Space Shuttle.
189
00:13:51,245 --> 00:13:53,454
The other proposal was
from Von Braun and he was
190
00:13:53,489 --> 00:13:55,245
really storming the halls of Congress,
191
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,412
to say that we can go to Mars.
192
00:13:57,447 --> 00:14:00,078
When would
you see a man on Mars?
193
00:14:00,113 --> 00:14:01,990
We could land a man on Mars in
194
00:14:02,025 --> 00:14:04,454
a little over 10 years
if we really wanted to do it.
195
00:14:04,838 --> 00:14:06,412
Richard Nixon was never that
196
00:14:06,447 --> 00:14:08,245
big of a supporter of the space program.
197
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,078
He came in wanting to cut
the budget to lower taxes,
198
00:14:11,113 --> 00:14:13,657
and space just was not a high priority
199
00:14:13,692 --> 00:14:14,828
for that administration.
200
00:14:15,252 --> 00:14:18,120
Basically they just wanted
fewer leaps for mankind, right?
201
00:14:18,621 --> 00:14:20,745
small steps, small steps.
202
00:14:21,335 --> 00:14:23,435
So Nixon
chooses the Space Shuttle
203
00:14:23,488 --> 00:14:25,412
over going to Mars.
204
00:14:25,805 --> 00:14:28,745
Von Braun quits NASA,
and within a few years
205
00:14:28,780 --> 00:14:30,817
has cancer and dies.
206
00:14:31,970 --> 00:14:33,610
It must
have taken a great deal of
207
00:14:33,645 --> 00:14:35,828
determination to carry
on and, in view of some the
208
00:14:35,863 --> 00:14:37,454
early failures that you've had.
209
00:14:38,172 --> 00:14:41,422
Well, yes uh, you just have to,
210
00:14:41,457 --> 00:14:43,828
shouldn't give up. It's very simple,
211
00:14:43,863 --> 00:14:46,216
something blows in your face,
212
00:14:46,251 --> 00:14:48,047
try again, try again, try again.
213
00:14:48,082 --> 00:14:50,983
One fine day you'll wind up on top.
214
00:14:55,537 --> 00:14:57,953
After the
devastation to the west section
215
00:14:57,988 --> 00:15:01,953
we needed to scavenge from
our other resources to rebuild,
216
00:15:02,407 --> 00:15:04,102
even the old workshop.
217
00:15:12,081 --> 00:15:14,490
Figure
we use the housings to patch
218
00:15:14,532 --> 00:15:16,479
the corridor the best we can.
219
00:15:17,162 --> 00:15:20,329
If we can get the
section sealed with scrap,
220
00:15:21,168 --> 00:15:24,197
my team can start
working on the damage done
221
00:15:24,222 --> 00:15:25,203
to Olympus Town.
222
00:15:25,238 --> 00:15:31,396
Mm-hmm, Javier!
223
00:15:31,449 --> 00:15:32,537
What?
224
00:15:32,572 --> 00:15:34,444
Ven mira.
225
00:15:40,153 --> 00:15:42,365
Que, what is that,
226
00:15:48,370 --> 00:15:50,509
corrosion?
227
00:15:52,022 --> 00:15:54,886
It looks like,
uh, aragonite crystal.
228
00:15:56,878 --> 00:15:58,908
Possible the metal catalyzed
229
00:15:58,943 --> 00:16:01,423
perculate carried by the storm?
230
00:16:02,871 --> 00:16:05,037
Unless
something reacted with the water
231
00:16:05,072 --> 00:16:08,103
that came out of
the condensation filter.
232
00:16:10,762 --> 00:16:12,992
It would be nice if I had a lab.
233
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,784
It's getting dark.
234
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,551
Let's get out of here.
235
00:16:30,850 --> 00:16:33,313
Phobos and Deimos.
236
00:16:33,870 --> 00:16:36,287
Fear and terror,
237
00:16:36,911 --> 00:16:40,071
good names for the Moons of Mars.
238
00:16:40,106 --> 00:16:44,620
We lost two of our
finest cosmonauts to this catastrophe;
239
00:16:44,655 --> 00:16:47,745
the support of the
Russian people is fading.
240
00:16:47,780 --> 00:16:49,620
We've known this since Apollo:
241
00:16:49,655 --> 00:16:54,078
once the novelty passes,
so does public support,
242
00:16:54,113 --> 00:16:56,454
and no one ever died on the Moon.
243
00:16:56,489 --> 00:16:58,843
Is this not
the time to make a statement
244
00:16:58,878 --> 00:17:00,921
that we're here to stay?
245
00:17:02,089 --> 00:17:06,265
We have committed resources,
delivered speeches.
246
00:17:06,911 --> 00:17:09,620
Giving up now could be
a great embarrassment.
247
00:17:09,655 --> 00:17:12,848
More embarrassing
than another tragedy?
248
00:17:12,883 --> 00:17:15,454
We only accepted the risk
in the 60s because it was a
249
00:17:15,489 --> 00:17:18,312
matter of national defense.
250
00:17:19,014 --> 00:17:20,579
People love space,
251
00:17:20,621 --> 00:17:24,287
but not when it means
watching heroes die.
252
00:17:24,322 --> 00:17:26,495
Secretary Seung,
253
00:17:26,530 --> 00:17:29,953
you are as personally
invested as any of us.
254
00:17:30,495 --> 00:17:34,013
I would like to hear your
recommendation to the committee.
255
00:17:51,620 --> 00:17:53,450
May I?
256
00:18:06,971 --> 00:18:08,770
I'm so sorry.
257
00:18:11,035 --> 00:18:12,828
Paul was my responsibility.
258
00:18:13,185 --> 00:18:15,370
We
don't need to do this.
259
00:18:15,826 --> 00:18:17,808
They all were.
260
00:18:20,062 --> 00:18:22,078
You didn't kill them and
261
00:18:22,113 --> 00:18:23,915
neither did Paul.
262
00:18:26,139 --> 00:18:27,932
And neither did you.
263
00:18:29,020 --> 00:18:31,413
I gave that order, not you.
264
00:18:32,268 --> 00:18:34,380
We didn't have a choice Leslie.
265
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:37,995
Paul
was right in front of me
266
00:18:38,030 --> 00:18:39,725
and I didn't see him.
267
00:18:42,467 --> 00:18:44,870
If we have
any chance in this place
268
00:18:45,162 --> 00:18:47,202
we need you with us.
269
00:18:55,830 --> 00:18:57,414
Hana...
270
00:19:00,253 --> 00:19:02,389
they asked me to make a choice,
271
00:19:04,661 --> 00:19:08,454
whether to keep pushing,
or to bring you home.
272
00:19:09,537 --> 00:19:12,198
I tried to go back to that feeling,
273
00:19:13,745 --> 00:19:15,953
that feeling we had,
274
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:19,677
staring up at those stars
imagining what was beyond.
275
00:19:27,211 --> 00:19:30,078
Unnie, do you
remember that recurring dream
276
00:19:30,113 --> 00:19:31,452
I used to have?
277
00:19:32,078 --> 00:19:35,396
Walking along the regolith
under the twin Moons before
278
00:19:36,245 --> 00:19:39,490
I even knew it was
Mars I was dreaming about.
279
00:19:47,929 --> 00:19:50,537
When I
think about you up there,
280
00:19:52,538 --> 00:19:55,025
if it had been you in that corridor...
281
00:20:01,325 --> 00:20:03,661
If it had
been me in that corridor,
282
00:20:05,054 --> 00:20:07,926
I only hope someone else
would have done the same.
283
00:20:09,786 --> 00:20:15,120
This mission, it's
bigger than all of us.
284
00:20:15,155 --> 00:20:21,495
I've made my peace,
and I'd do it again if I have to.
285
00:20:26,919 --> 00:20:29,287
That dream I used to have about Mars.
286
00:20:29,623 --> 00:20:31,203
I could never tell
Mom why I would wake up
287
00:20:31,238 --> 00:20:33,023
crying every time.
288
00:20:33,620 --> 00:20:36,265
It wasn't because it was a nightmare.
289
00:20:38,786 --> 00:20:41,544
It was because the dream was over.
290
00:20:44,828 --> 00:20:51,511
Hana, I told
them to bring you home.
291
00:20:51,828 --> 00:20:54,828
I'm going to make a public
announcement next week.
292
00:20:54,863 --> 00:20:57,096
I'm sorry.
293
00:21:05,822 --> 00:21:07,637
The mission had failed,
294
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,017
I'd failed the crew,
295
00:21:15,510 --> 00:21:16,816
I failed Ben.
296
00:22:17,749 --> 00:22:19,342
Oh man, this
reminds me of a place I used
297
00:22:19,377 --> 00:22:21,409
to go with my father when I was a kid.
298
00:22:22,738 --> 00:22:24,621
So beautiful.
299
00:22:24,992 --> 00:22:26,793
Yeah.
300
00:22:28,490 --> 00:22:32,661
You know,
they can give us a rover;
301
00:22:33,568 --> 00:22:35,412
put us in EVA suits,
302
00:22:35,447 --> 00:22:42,522
but that blue sky, gonna miss that.
303
00:22:45,192 --> 00:22:47,005
There's really no way of knowing if we
304
00:22:47,872 --> 00:22:50,664
actually make it up there, is there?
305
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:56,524
Nope, but...
306
00:22:58,172 --> 00:23:01,029
What good would we
be if we didn't even try?
307
00:23:04,699 --> 00:23:06,484
Let's get moving.
308
00:23:30,676 --> 00:23:34,678
The tragedy,
for me, of the shuttle...
309
00:23:35,551 --> 00:23:38,219
it was as if we'd lost our nerve.
310
00:23:38,254 --> 00:23:41,551
Instead of building on the
technology that had gotten us
311
00:23:41,586 --> 00:23:46,760
to the Moon, and saying
okay, let's go to Mars,
312
00:23:47,052 --> 00:23:52,285
we ended up to a shuttle
which was going nowhere.
313
00:23:53,718 --> 00:23:55,718
We went
into lower Earth orbit for
314
00:23:55,753 --> 00:23:57,149
the next forty years.
315
00:23:57,184 --> 00:24:01,052
And I think a lot people felt
a certain amount of betrayal.
316
00:24:01,618 --> 00:24:03,968
So far, the previous
generations since Apollo have
317
00:24:04,003 --> 00:24:07,921
not picked up that torch
and carried it forward.
318
00:24:09,052 --> 00:24:11,385
We're approaching the
319
00:24:11,420 --> 00:24:13,885
50th Anniversary of the
Apollo Moon landing.
320
00:24:13,927 --> 00:24:17,427
People who watched it happen
are still around and still
321
00:24:17,462 --> 00:24:20,927
remember a time when we
did things like this.
322
00:24:20,962 --> 00:24:24,635
And if anybody had told
me that I would be 64 and
323
00:24:24,670 --> 00:24:27,427
we wouldn't be on Mars,
324
00:24:27,462 --> 00:24:30,953
I would have thought they were crazy.
325
00:24:31,593 --> 00:24:33,843
Dr. Zubrin,
you're mad that this vision
326
00:24:33,878 --> 00:24:35,593
has been stolen from a generation?
327
00:24:35,628 --> 00:24:37,593
Yes, we turned our back on the
328
00:24:37,628 --> 00:24:39,260
whole Apollo vision.
329
00:24:39,295 --> 00:24:41,427
It's like Columbus coming
back from the New World and
330
00:24:41,462 --> 00:24:42,927
Ferdinand and Isabella saying,
331
00:24:42,962 --> 00:24:44,927
"ah, so what,
forget it, burn the ships."
332
00:24:44,962 --> 00:24:47,427
The purpose of space ships
is to actually travel across
333
00:24:47,462 --> 00:24:49,260
space and go to new worlds.
334
00:24:49,295 --> 00:24:51,427
Mars is where the science is,
335
00:24:51,462 --> 00:24:53,427
Mars is where the challenge is,
336
00:24:53,462 --> 00:24:55,843
and Mars is where the future is.
337
00:24:56,297 --> 00:25:00,302
That if we say no, that is beyond us,
338
00:25:00,714 --> 00:25:03,135
then it would really indicate
that we have become less than
339
00:25:03,170 --> 00:25:05,801
the kind of people we used to
be and that is something that
340
00:25:05,836 --> 00:25:07,769
this country cannot afford.
341
00:25:14,438 --> 00:25:16,277
As the others
prepared Olympus Town for the
342
00:25:16,302 --> 00:25:18,790
official evacuation order,
343
00:25:18,825 --> 00:25:22,049
Robert and I took a trip
to visit an old friend,
344
00:25:22,074 --> 00:25:25,076
we needed her help taking us back.
345
00:25:25,469 --> 00:25:27,557
There she is.
346
00:25:29,510 --> 00:25:32,093
Never thought
we'd be trying to take her back.
347
00:25:33,597 --> 00:25:35,324
Me neither.
348
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,071
It looks like she's been through a war.
349
00:25:46,843 --> 00:25:48,681
She has.
350
00:25:49,551 --> 00:25:53,017
This is it, your
home for the seven-month
351
00:25:53,052 --> 00:25:57,965
journey and the first two
years you'll be living on Mars surface,
352
00:25:59,681 --> 00:26:02,593
when the time comes to face the unknown,
353
00:26:02,628 --> 00:26:04,510
there has never been
another suit of armor more
354
00:26:04,545 --> 00:26:09,135
skillfully crafted than this one.
355
00:26:10,753 --> 00:26:12,522
Take good care of her.
356
00:26:13,963 --> 00:26:15,782
She'll take good care of you.
357
00:27:06,283 --> 00:27:09,427
I want you to
stop and ask yourself
358
00:27:09,462 --> 00:27:14,752
what really is important
to you about this mission;
359
00:27:15,302 --> 00:27:17,927
and if the answer to
that question is not the most
360
00:27:17,962 --> 00:27:21,093
important thing in your life,
then I'm gonna invite you to
361
00:27:21,128 --> 00:27:25,177
walk out that door and pursue
that thing, whatever it is.
362
00:27:25,212 --> 00:27:29,120
And don't ever look back,
because no one will ever have
363
00:27:29,145 --> 00:27:31,475
the right to hold it against you.
364
00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:37,814
Well alright,
365
00:27:40,834 --> 00:27:42,320
welcome home.
366
00:27:43,147 --> 00:27:46,083
External
solar arrays are online.
367
00:27:57,057 --> 00:28:01,041
Initializing
for start up on my mark...
368
00:28:01,076 --> 00:28:03,500
3, 2, 1.
369
00:28:03,525 --> 00:28:04,727
Engage.
370
00:28:08,469 --> 00:28:10,686
Pressurizing.
371
00:28:13,968 --> 00:28:15,968
No pressure now Hana,
372
00:28:16,003 --> 00:28:19,718
this is all of humanity relying on you.
373
00:28:19,753 --> 00:28:21,122
You ready for this?
374
00:28:21,157 --> 00:28:22,950
- Three.
- Are you?
375
00:28:22,975 --> 00:28:26,976
Two, one, ignition.
376
00:28:31,885 --> 00:28:35,109
Pressurization complete.
377
00:28:51,260 --> 00:28:53,140
NDEs are registering no
378
00:28:53,165 --> 00:28:55,177
micrometeoroid damage.
379
00:28:55,212 --> 00:28:59,010
She'll need the new parts to
address the damage from landing,
380
00:28:59,045 --> 00:29:02,559
but Cygnus brought everything we
need to get her flight-ready.
381
00:29:09,185 --> 00:29:10,769
How will it be?
382
00:29:12,827 --> 00:29:14,385
What's that?
383
00:29:14,420 --> 00:29:16,297
Going home.
384
00:29:22,052 --> 00:29:23,944
I'm already home.
385
00:29:44,539 --> 00:29:46,067
Marta...
386
00:29:52,538 --> 00:29:54,658
I thought you might
be interested in this.
387
00:29:56,034 --> 00:29:57,650
It was Paul's.
388
00:30:02,292 --> 00:30:04,012
I'd like you to have it.
389
00:30:21,712 --> 00:30:23,815
Is there anything I can do to help?
390
00:30:41,152 --> 00:30:42,647
Thank you.
391
00:30:46,968 --> 00:30:48,699
When Paul was working on his
392
00:30:48,734 --> 00:30:51,219
early climate resistant hybrid studies,
393
00:30:51,254 --> 00:30:54,815
I went with him to the
western highlands of Guatemala.
394
00:30:55,994 --> 00:30:58,635
We knew that if we didn't
plan our lives around our work
395
00:30:58,670 --> 00:31:00,735
we'd never see each other at all.
396
00:31:01,302 --> 00:31:05,302
He was always gone, sometimes weeks.
397
00:31:05,337 --> 00:31:08,135
Because on top of his own research,
398
00:31:08,170 --> 00:31:11,007
he also decided that he could
figure out how this particular
399
00:31:11,042 --> 00:31:13,890
pathogen was spreading
through local communities,
400
00:31:13,925 --> 00:31:17,101
so I barely got to see him.
401
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,669
And I resented him for it.
402
00:31:23,010 --> 00:31:25,843
It was as if, plants
were more important to him
403
00:31:25,878 --> 00:31:27,344
than human beings.
404
00:31:27,379 --> 00:31:32,260
Certainly to my mind,
more important than me.
405
00:31:33,450 --> 00:31:37,093
Eventually I understood that for Paul,
406
00:31:37,128 --> 00:31:39,344
every time he looked at those plants,
407
00:31:39,379 --> 00:31:43,342
he could see all the
people they could feed,
408
00:31:44,555 --> 00:31:46,896
all the people they could heal.
409
00:32:00,988 --> 00:32:03,260
So how
did he figure it out?
410
00:32:03,814 --> 00:32:05,093
Figure what out?
411
00:32:05,410 --> 00:32:06,938
The pathogen.
412
00:32:07,551 --> 00:32:09,427
How was it spreading?
413
00:32:09,899 --> 00:32:11,718
Paul
realized that the outbreak
414
00:32:11,753 --> 00:32:14,260
pattern followed the same
vectors as one of the airborne
415
00:32:14,295 --> 00:32:16,385
blights he'd been tracking.
416
00:32:16,420 --> 00:32:19,093
He'd also been mapping
these very complex wind flows
417
00:32:19,128 --> 00:32:21,427
from the mountains.
418
00:32:21,647 --> 00:32:26,052
And from that, he was able
to conclude that the pathogen
419
00:32:26,087 --> 00:32:27,789
must have mutated,
420
00:32:28,695 --> 00:32:31,927
and it was able to survive in the air
421
00:32:33,718 --> 00:32:35,620
and travel on... the wind.
422
00:32:36,938 --> 00:32:38,422
Yeah.
423
00:32:45,593 --> 00:32:49,557
By executive order,
all non-evacuation related
424
00:32:49,592 --> 00:32:53,010
extra-vehicular activity
is now prohibited.
425
00:32:57,427 --> 00:33:01,010
The biggest
failure in history...
426
00:33:01,260 --> 00:33:03,593
biggest failure in history.
427
00:33:03,628 --> 00:33:05,302
It's easy...
428
00:33:05,337 --> 00:33:06,593
yeah, easy.
429
00:33:06,628 --> 00:33:08,260
Four years of my life...
430
00:33:08,295 --> 00:33:10,593
20 years preparing.
431
00:33:10,628 --> 00:33:13,760
Very good and it's over.
432
00:33:14,653 --> 00:33:15,956
Hey.
433
00:33:42,107 --> 00:33:43,981
We'd be
looking for another location
434
00:33:44,016 --> 00:33:47,177
with moisture to replicate
the reaction use on the WAVAR
435
00:33:47,655 --> 00:33:49,907
so we'd be following the wind patterns.
436
00:33:51,801 --> 00:33:53,369
Wind patterns.
437
00:33:53,968 --> 00:33:55,551
Javier
and I found something.
438
00:33:55,586 --> 00:33:58,676
The samples were too
contaminated to analyze but
439
00:33:58,711 --> 00:34:02,177
I figured it blew in from the
east in the storm because of
440
00:34:02,212 --> 00:34:07,635
the easterly arc of the wind,
no way to track its source.
441
00:34:08,759 --> 00:34:10,803
Your story made me think.
442
00:34:12,179 --> 00:34:15,511
Even though I may not be able
to pinpoint where it came from,
443
00:34:15,991 --> 00:34:19,228
I can figure out where
else it might have blown to.
444
00:34:20,145 --> 00:34:22,858
The way the Tharsis Plateau
affects the wind flow,
445
00:34:22,883 --> 00:34:24,344
it would have blown straight into the
446
00:34:24,379 --> 00:34:26,385
recurring slope lineae.
447
00:34:26,420 --> 00:34:30,510
On these elevated bedrock
outcrops just to the west.
448
00:34:31,281 --> 00:34:34,968
If there wasn't a
moratorium on nonessential EVAs...
449
00:34:36,678 --> 00:34:38,455
What moratorium?
450
00:34:51,385 --> 00:34:56,718
The history
of space exploration begins
451
00:34:56,753 --> 00:35:03,814
with individuals taking
the road not taken,
452
00:35:04,885 --> 00:35:07,385
with people with a vision.
453
00:35:07,420 --> 00:35:09,469
I really never had any doubts
454
00:35:09,504 --> 00:35:11,718
that it was possible to go to the Moon.
455
00:35:11,753 --> 00:35:13,385
Today I know.
456
00:35:13,420 --> 00:35:17,260
People being
able to see with their minds
457
00:35:17,295 --> 00:35:21,885
what others had yet to be
able to see with their eyes.
458
00:35:22,427 --> 00:35:24,260
There is
a direct correlation between
459
00:35:24,295 --> 00:35:27,260
the dreams and the works
of science fiction
460
00:35:27,295 --> 00:35:29,260
and the reality.
461
00:35:29,295 --> 00:35:31,927
We as humans over and over
again create the future,
462
00:35:31,962 --> 00:35:33,760
we create the future we envision.
463
00:35:33,795 --> 00:35:37,469
And then we bring to bear
our resources, our capital,
464
00:35:37,504 --> 00:35:39,302
our technology, our friendships,
465
00:35:39,337 --> 00:35:41,894
and then we make it real.
466
00:35:53,135 --> 00:35:55,010
What is this building called?
467
00:35:55,045 --> 00:35:56,635
This is the launch tower,
468
00:35:56,670 --> 00:35:59,912
so this is where the
astronauts would go up,
469
00:36:00,968 --> 00:36:03,593
and then there would be a big
arm that would swing over to
470
00:36:03,635 --> 00:36:08,302
the spacecraft, and then
they'd walk down the gangway,
471
00:36:08,337 --> 00:36:12,260
climb in the spacecraft, go to space.
472
00:36:15,177 --> 00:36:18,597
This isn't floors, this is feet.
473
00:36:20,302 --> 00:36:22,469
the long-term goal of
SpaceX is to establish a
474
00:36:22,504 --> 00:36:25,551
self-sustaining civilization on Mars.
475
00:36:25,586 --> 00:36:27,564
Pretty cool.
476
00:36:30,459 --> 00:36:33,135
It's always seemed like we
should have gone there by now,
477
00:36:33,170 --> 00:36:35,656
that's what everyone expected.
478
00:36:36,615 --> 00:36:38,885
We just kind of lost our way.
479
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,577
It's a long way down.
480
00:36:41,219 --> 00:36:43,497
But now we're gonna get back there.
481
00:36:46,511 --> 00:36:49,344
SpaceX
Falcon 9 go for launch.
482
00:36:49,379 --> 00:36:51,551
Stage 1
tanks pressing for flight.
483
00:36:52,022 --> 00:36:54,177
VC
verify F9 is in startup.
484
00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:55,676
F9 is in startup.
485
00:36:55,711 --> 00:36:58,345
T-minus 4 minutes.
486
00:36:59,353 --> 00:37:01,966
SpaceX
Falcon 9 go for launch.
487
00:37:02,001 --> 00:37:03,634
Vehicle's in manual.
488
00:37:03,669 --> 00:37:05,133
T-minus 1 minute.
489
00:37:05,168 --> 00:37:07,133
This is a
return to flight launch.
490
00:37:07,168 --> 00:37:11,717
We'd had a failed
mission on June 28 of 2015.
491
00:37:18,342 --> 00:37:21,841
After the failure, the whole
launch program ground to a halt.
492
00:37:21,876 --> 00:37:24,050
That obviously put a lot
of strain on the company.
493
00:37:24,085 --> 00:37:26,217
All stations
verify ready for launch.
494
00:37:26,252 --> 00:37:28,050
T-minus 30 seconds.
495
00:37:28,085 --> 00:37:31,383
Elon Musk
has said the key to get to Mars
496
00:37:31,418 --> 00:37:34,008
is the reusability of rockets.
497
00:37:34,043 --> 00:37:36,925
He wants to be able to
fire a rocket into orbit,
498
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,383
launch a payload into space,
and then fire retro rockets
499
00:37:40,418 --> 00:37:45,383
and bring that rocket down to
land vertically, and reuse it.
500
00:37:45,418 --> 00:37:49,008
That's an extremely difficult concept.
501
00:37:49,043 --> 00:37:53,299
If he cannot make rockets truly reusable
502
00:37:53,414 --> 00:37:56,759
then he cannot launch a new
civilization on Mars.
503
00:38:00,581 --> 00:38:04,543
So the stakes for every
rocket launch are huge.
504
00:38:04,717 --> 00:38:06,550
T-minus 20 seconds.
505
00:38:06,585 --> 00:38:07,883
Stage Two tanks pressing for flight.
506
00:38:07,918 --> 00:38:09,217
Flight computer has
control of the vehicle.
507
00:38:09,252 --> 00:38:11,050
Do we
see anything on the sensors
508
00:38:11,085 --> 00:38:12,217
that's a problem?
509
00:38:12,252 --> 00:38:13,717
No, nothing.
510
00:38:13,752 --> 00:38:15,346
They all say go for launch.
511
00:38:15,966 --> 00:38:21,030
T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...
512
00:38:21,055 --> 00:38:25,966
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
513
00:38:41,592 --> 00:38:43,759
It's gone, baby.
514
00:38:43,794 --> 00:38:46,217
Let's go, check it out.
515
00:39:05,091 --> 00:39:09,425
Speed 1.2 kilometers down
range distance 11 kilometers.
516
00:39:09,460 --> 00:39:11,467
Shortly after main engine cut off,
517
00:39:11,502 --> 00:39:13,425
we're going to separate the stages and
518
00:39:13,460 --> 00:39:16,383
begin the second stage ignition.
519
00:39:19,258 --> 00:39:21,050
Come on.
520
00:39:27,669 --> 00:39:31,091
Main engine cut off.
521
00:39:31,509 --> 00:39:36,300
The first stage is returning
to land as the second stage
522
00:39:36,335 --> 00:39:40,675
powers the OrbComm satellites
to low Earth orbit.
523
00:39:40,710 --> 00:39:44,143
The fairings have successfully deployed.
524
00:39:50,675 --> 00:39:53,133
The first stage will soon
begin its series of three
525
00:39:53,168 --> 00:39:56,966
burns to head back
towards Cape Canaveral.
526
00:39:59,550 --> 00:40:01,133
Oh...
527
00:40:01,168 --> 00:40:03,133
where is it going?
528
00:40:03,168 --> 00:40:05,039
Okay, this is bad.
529
00:40:06,342 --> 00:40:08,834
Potentially bad.
530
00:40:24,425 --> 00:40:27,008
That is that first
stage, coming back down.
531
00:40:27,043 --> 00:40:29,008
History in the making guys.
532
00:40:51,717 --> 00:40:54,467
It's standing up!
533
00:40:55,091 --> 00:40:57,717
Coming in, it sounded like an explosion.
534
00:40:57,752 --> 00:40:59,383
Yeah man!
535
00:40:59,418 --> 00:41:01,883
Oh my God!
536
00:41:01,918 --> 00:41:03,258
Look at this, look at this!
537
00:41:03,293 --> 00:41:06,717
It's just sitting there, look at that.
538
00:41:06,752 --> 00:41:10,300
What... holy smokes man.
539
00:41:16,133 --> 00:41:18,818
It's kind of amazing that
this window of opportunity
540
00:41:18,853 --> 00:41:21,801
is open for life to go beyond Earth.
541
00:41:21,836 --> 00:41:25,077
And we just don't know how long
that window is going to be open.
542
00:41:26,286 --> 00:41:29,300
The thing that gets me
most fired up is that creating
543
00:41:29,335 --> 00:41:31,966
a self-sustaining civilization on Mars
544
00:41:32,001 --> 00:41:34,467
would be the greatest adventure ever...
545
00:41:34,502 --> 00:41:36,300
ever in human history.
546
00:41:36,335 --> 00:41:39,592
It would be so exciting to
wake up in the morning and
547
00:41:39,627 --> 00:41:42,386
think that that's what's happening.
548
00:41:45,764 --> 00:41:48,467
Apollo is
still within living memory.
549
00:41:49,017 --> 00:41:52,509
Houston the Eagle has landed.
550
00:41:53,342 --> 00:41:57,025
But the longer
we let it fade into the past,
551
00:41:58,235 --> 00:42:01,509
the dimmer our prospects become.
552
00:42:03,407 --> 00:42:06,175
We do need to make discoveries,
553
00:42:06,210 --> 00:42:10,317
we do need to find out
the truth about life,
554
00:42:10,352 --> 00:42:11,592
and the universe.
555
00:42:12,266 --> 00:42:15,086
To resolve mysteries that
thinking men and women have
556
00:42:15,121 --> 00:42:17,801
wondered about for thousands of years.
557
00:42:18,172 --> 00:42:20,621
Look up, look up!
558
00:42:20,656 --> 00:42:23,008
There's everything out there!
559
00:42:23,043 --> 00:42:26,300
There's trillions of other Earths.
560
00:42:26,335 --> 00:42:30,409
That's why we're gonna do
it and the next time we go,
561
00:42:30,444 --> 00:42:32,550
we're gonna go to stay.
562
00:42:36,841 --> 00:42:38,937
The story
Leslie Richardson told me
563
00:42:38,972 --> 00:42:40,050
sparked a thought.
564
00:42:40,419 --> 00:42:43,113
Javier and I found something
at the old workshop.
565
00:42:44,823 --> 00:42:46,283
I need to go there.
566
00:42:48,133 --> 00:42:50,050
The wind
patterns lead to a location
567
00:42:50,085 --> 00:42:52,634
87 kilometers west of Olympus Town.
568
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,675
We hoped to find a
new sample of the substance
569
00:42:54,710 --> 00:42:56,509
Marta found on the WAVARs.
570
00:42:56,544 --> 00:43:00,297
Leslie, have
you ever driven one of these?
571
00:43:00,841 --> 00:43:02,841
No, I haven't.
572
00:43:04,175 --> 00:43:06,841
Do you want to have a go?
573
00:43:06,876 --> 00:43:09,550
Come.
574
00:43:11,892 --> 00:43:14,970
We're here at
IMSF headquarters waiting for
575
00:43:15,005 --> 00:43:17,643
Secretary Seung to make her
announcement regarding what we
576
00:43:17,678 --> 00:43:21,091
believe will be the end
of the Mars mission.
577
00:43:30,827 --> 00:43:33,080
We've come so far,
578
00:43:35,082 --> 00:43:40,629
we stop now the Mars dream is dead.
579
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,029
Today marks the end of an era,
580
00:44:48,947 --> 00:44:51,909
and the beginning of a new one.
581
00:45:08,966 --> 00:45:12,133
There is life on Mars.
582
00:45:22,509 --> 00:45:25,359
We had come so far.
583
00:45:28,945 --> 00:45:31,406
Overcome so many obstacles.
584
00:45:34,701 --> 00:45:37,133
And though there were times
when our faith flagged,
585
00:45:37,168 --> 00:45:39,081
we persevered.
586
00:45:44,175 --> 00:45:47,214
There would be no evacuation.
587
00:45:49,008 --> 00:45:51,008
And as we prepared for the next phase,
588
00:45:51,043 --> 00:45:53,011
one thing was clear.
589
00:45:53,675 --> 00:45:55,550
Our dream was alive.
590
00:45:55,585 --> 00:46:01,423
