BRAVOOOOOO!!!!

[shellshot]

I love this piece of music! My father used to play it during the mars show at our colleges planetarium! Its such an exciting piece of music! And I really like it in "The right Stuff" When Gordo goes up!

[saxchic13]

I LOVE THIS SONG we played if for our marching show and we did amazing it was alot of fun it was only the first part tho... o well it was fun you cant have a 7min opener

[chunkybongo]

Who are you? You talk real funny, like you're from Kentucky or something. No, I still think it'll be boring. I don't know what they'll find up there, but on the news it's just going to be about the 'red planet' and 'what happened today on the red planet' and they'll just make it a big boring spectacle. You should probably learn to spell or something, by the way. You sound really funny.

[LeftSock06]

I think maybe he's wacked on weed.

[mn404]

i reckon i'm new to all this high-brow jargon 'bout mars and all...

i fancy that iff'n we look for colonization it wouldn't be on that planet... too costly to operate and no useful resource for us earthen critters.

we be best choosing our own artificially, self-contained environment in the vacuum o space, it being a much betta option and all.

[Davaron2012]

Love this Compilation, great Video!!!

[VBH8888]

um no there was life on mars and also the moon. they found a disease thats on a higher protection lv than aids.

[mn404]

say here, son, what makes you say such a thing? just cuz a group of scientist tell ya that? what iff'n there are water trails in the sand? doesn't prove there was life! we got no body... no bones o fossils!

speculations a tool to be reckon wit! lots of innocent men needlessly went to jail and to their deaths on mere speculation of others. a real scientist might go as far as prove such things beyond the shadows of doubt.

[cowboysrule12]

there dosn't need to be proof like that. They found micro-life on Mars. Just like how we have bacteria here.

[mn404]

not ta produce havoc, boys--but i sho don't blame ya fer the optimism (seein as hows our good earth is in trouble wit the ozone and all).

despite that, "micro-life" in tha dead state seems a much "iffier" thang than do living microbes--hell, them'ere microbes be the onliest thang ta survive in an inhospitable biosphere mostly as i recollect.

[calum22c]

are you guys serious?! life on mars... not happening.

nice pics tho!

[raz2050]

06:46 is a very cool picture

[chunkybongo]

I guess man will probably end up landing on Mars and colonizing it. It's probably not going to be that exciting, either. More like depressing, really. The news will talk about the 'red planet' and pictures of people up there will all be totally boring. Unless we're still missing some major facts about Mars, which I doubt.

[mn404]

naw that's entertainin', son--but i do doubt we'll pick mars fer ta live on. but even iff'n we do, my hopes is that we 'find' some real good fun soon enuff--otherwise i'd have ta pack a heap of moonshine what fer a good time!

[catalyst8]

Great posts mn404, I genuinely enjoyed reading them. As for "You talk real funny" that's a bit hypocritical, since later on in your post chunky, you corrected yourself with "You sound really funny".

Anyway, mn404 save me a bit of your booze if you don't mind. We'll need it to liven space up, they say it has no atmosphere.

[mn404]

son, iffn that be the case i reckon i'd bring a plenty fer us all.

[captioneric]

great video.i am a big fan of mars i do hope man poots his foot on it in my time that wood be great to see strange but great.maybe life on mars is underground because is is to hot on top if so maybe nasa should just find a really big hole and start digging in there. i am sure mars has caves like earth so why not look for them and try there. life on earth hides from the heat when it's to hot so it might have done on mars i hope so

Watching this kind of thing makes my heart ache. It makes me proud of mankind, the almost exponential increase in knowledge and technology over the past 100 years...120 years ago we were all riding around on horses...500 years ago we thought the world was flat..I feel so priviledged to be able to look at these images from another world.

[Balthazaris]

amen man amen...makes me so proud of mankind..but some things you cant be proud of...this...this shows how mankind can do anything

[cycimian]

Not bad, but imagin if we did things together as a world effort, rather then the coperate military industry we keep electing?

[Balthazaris]

>.< some people are just ignorant...therefore the world will never band togethor..unless its under one dictator which depends on the dictator if its good or bad

[nosorab3]

probobly bad...they always are for some reason

[kjb86]

power corrupts

[LarrySTalbot]

can't remember the source, but there was a quote that basically said: those who seek power are rarely qualified to have it

[LarrySTalbot]

sorry, wrong place, it was supposed to be a reply

[LarrySTalbot]

thats weird, its in the right place now...

[fezkraut]

The greatest spacemusic in history in my opinion.

[fortressfire]

does anyone know who's playing this?

[senseimatsamune]

BRAVOOOOOO!!!!

[yodasteveo]

Sounds like he copied STAR WARS...only kidding. Johnny Williams is obliously influenced by old Holsty

[deligthelf]

Also if you watch the Wrath of Khan and Planet of the Apes you can also hear definite parts that inflenced the music of those two films.

[markthereddart]

John Williams actually said that this influenced the music to star wars greatly.

[epopcorns]

you saved my ass. I am doing a Oekaki Contest where you have to set an Image to Music. I choose this but XDD I am sure know one else has heard it. Much love to you!

[niickiita]

Tell me if you got away with cheating XD

[suzbot]

it has been used in a lot of sci-fi films and tv - Quatermass used it the most.

[suzbot]

It is part of a suite of music called the Planets by Holst. Suites are pieces of music based on similar themes and ideas that are part of a whole composition.

[Icanjive]

Its not a song ok, it's a piece ok?

[chickchickboom]

we band geeks mt.pleasant highschool just played this for our end of the year concert and totally and it was one of our best. i love this so song from the planets its one of the most powerful, and our other ensemble played jupiter which was alos great ! =]

[sarahnavarro00]

this is the best song of the planets

[johnny0640]

we "were" gonna play this for our end of the year concert....but we did´t.

[theelitemusician]

I think this piece is the best out of all the planets Holst composed.

[stardustfairyheart]

arrr.mii school is only playing jupiter.i honestly tihnk mars is a bit better piece.

[Arsinen]

This piece is so freakin awesome it's the best out of the Planets. Our school did the show a year before I went there I was pissd because I didn't get to march and supposedly next year after i grad. they are going to play the concert version so yeah I'm pretty pissed.

[JMR6916]

I love the piece so much too, I play the tuba part on bass trombone, cause our tubas aren't that "hot" and I play the Euphonium solos as well, pretty chops killing, loll, the end is so massive, makes me wanna cry every time, especially when i nail pedal Cs, ha ha;) Bass Trombonists will agree with me loll

[imgod666]

I love the piece! I'm playing Tenor Tuba with the Halle in the entire suite on the 22nd. Its going to be awesome

[aryuu]

awesome music. my music class is playin this piece rite now.

[Querobabi]

Great version! it's really like a war! I specially like the little part at 3:26...

[Ranaki]

lol u dosent need helmets on the mars XD u can breath there!

[Ranaki]

yeah we are the human empire ^^

[CyberneticOrganism]

Almost prophetic,Holst composed Mars in the summer of 1914. It was not until late September (Michaelmas) 1918,almost to the day that war ended that he actually had the chance to hear it played by an assembled orchestra !!

[bugzemo]

Great Photos to go with great music!

[alphamone]

This has got to be one of the greatest compositions of all time. It is amazing how it goes from almost tranquil to extreme intensity at the 4:25 mark. Also, great asortment of mars related images.

[montecarlostar]

this song was covered by king crimson... it's called mars and appears on their "Epitaph" live cd... i hadn't heard the original version and it's awesome!
