火星一代 The Mars Generation Movie Script

[Patrick] A robot is important for forerunner exploration, where we send a robot first.

It lets us know it's OK for us to go there.

The planet Mars right now is entirely populated by robots, which is an interesting thing to think about.

[Bobak Ferdowsi] Curiosity's designed specifically to look at past habitability and present habitability of Mars.

That's really taking the step of where we understood there was once water on Mars to whether that water could have supported life on Mars, or maybe even still support life on Mars.

[mission control] And liftoff of the Atlas 5 with Curiosity, seeking clues to the planetary puzzle about life on Mars.

[Ferdowsi] The thing that makes Mars so incredible is that it's this sister planet of ours, and the possibility that life could have arisen there some time in the past, that maybe life is more prevalent than we thought in the past.

[mission control] At 10.13 local time we'll initiate the descent stage thermal batteries, and from that point on EDL ops will take over.

[Ferdowsi] I'm a little partial to the Curiosity rover.

[mission control] We're down to 90 meters per second at an altitude of 6.5 kilometers and descending.

I worked on that mission for almost 10 years.

[mission control] UHF is good.

Touchdown confirmed.

We're safe on Mars!

[cheering] [mission control whoops via radio] [Ferdowsi] I think the longer you spend working on them, the more attached you are to them.

They become kind of like kids.

We are going to need a button pusher.

-I can do that.

-Jace!

Jace, just a heads up, that's priority numero uno!

Jace is a good programmer.

We can't afford not to-- -Jace, are you programming right now?

-Yes.

[Jace] With these robots, you have to learn how to program them to work without a human being at the controls.

Can Bucky hold one side of the yellow doors?
