火星一代 The Mars Generation Movie Script

When you look at the lives that we live right now, they wouldn't be possible without NASA.

[Senator Nelson] CAT scans, MRIs, the small cameras in our iPhones.

All of this has originated in our U.S. space program.

[Patrick] The Apollo program alone was the reason computers took the advances to where they are.

So if we go to Mars, I'm sure we're gonna get tech advances in ways that we can't even fathom.

One of the things Mars can offer us is growth and stimulation of the economy.

[Rachel] People say "Oh, what is the space program really doing for us?

We spend all these tax dollars into NASA. What does it give us?" Space travel has one of the highest rates of return on money that we put into it.

[Dr. Kaku] The space program has more than paid for itself.

Telecommunications, the internet, weather satellites, all of it done in outer space.

In fact, if you shut down the space program, we would be hurled back almost a century into the past.

Everybody in space, please listen up.

Whenever we approach whatever that payload is, we need to be wearing protective gear.

Make it very clear we will wear protective gear in the search for the payload.

I think we should go to Mars because we can.

We can do all these things.

And it's just, I feel like it's kind of sad that we haven't already.

Because we have developed technologies to do things like this.

We definitely have the intelligence.

The biggest thing we're missing is public support.

I'm gonna write down some information for you.

If they have to do an ISS reboot... Get a piece of paper ready.

I know people who think that NASA was mothballed.

NASA doesn't exist anymore.

NASA's out of business.
