The Mars Underground (1/6) [HD]

"Zubrin really, nearly alone, changed our thinking on this issue..."
-- Carl Sagan

The Mars Underground is a landmark documentary about renowned aerospace scientist and visionary, Dr. Robert Zubrin, and his struggle to get the first human mission to Mars off the ground.

Shot entirely in breathtaking high definition (HD) and directed by accomplished documentarian, Scott J. Gill (Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy, The Blood Earth), this film brings to life Dr. Zubrin's vision, known as 'Mars Direct,', through startling 3-D CGI animation of the launch, voyage and landing of spacecraft, as well as glimpses into the future of man's reign on Mars.

Through Dr. Zubrin's compelling words, moody cinematic visuals and lush original score, The Mars Underground is a surreal journey from the glory of the 1960s Space Race, the decline of NASA in the 1980s and 1990s, through the faltering moon and Mars programs of today, and into one man's quest to propel humanity towards a new world.

Zubrin should be made Administrator of NASA.

Zubrin should go to China to make it happen.

The planets Core first needs to be made active again. I think if we were able to bring a large enough stellar body into Mar's orbit to act as a moon, with the gravitational pull plus its orbiting Mars would cause forces in the core which would create heat, liquidating the core, creating a current. This fluid current would create a Dynamo which would provide an effective Magnetosphere protecting its atmosphere allowing it to be rebuilt, and perhaps even increase the planets Gravity slightly.

We're going to have to change a lot of things before we can get there.

With the current corrupt political system it could never happen.

@mactekos ignorance pisses me off "nothing there for us? how about earth 2?

[ADEdge]

@popamon451 Yes, I can see it also. It might not be NASA however, unless the American government gets its shit together. Many private companies are starting to voyage beyond our atmosphere, its just going to get more common. Its only a matter of time before someone bites the bullet and points a manned ship towards Mars :)

[popamon451]

will rocket's fueled by plasma we can go to mars within mounths!! I can see us going to mars in the distant future!

[I3ozinoski]

1:35 almost made me cry.

[hornet329]

EXACTLY what i thought! A group of the top scientific nations work together to form a better space program.

[Perzsnake]

why does it seem like NASA owns space.. i mean... we should be able to head their on our own but u cant without being an Astronaut
