火星一代 The Mars Generation Movie Script

[male voiceover] Science fiction writers populated the cities with terrible creatures of heroic size, with skills beyond earthman's dreams.

[Kluger] This is a place that touches us in a very basic way.

Another thing is that it's always had the power to scare the daylights out of us.

[laser fire] [screams] [Kluger] It was always the blood red world that was just nearby, that, through telescopes, appeared to have canals, which presumed people or some kind of organisms.

And since the only model we know for intelligent organisms is organisms that eventually try to grab land and resources and go to war, Mars used to frighten us.

[robot] Welcome to Mars.

[Bill Nye] There's a whole endless string of movies and television shows and stories about aliens, alien life.

Now, this is the plan: get your ass to Mars.

[Urban] When people hear the word "Mars", they think of science fiction, of geeks talking about Martians and Mars.

And as soon as we go there and there's humans there, that changes.

This is not science fiction.

This is now something we do.

This is part of life. This is real.

[Andy Weir] I had no idea that The Martian would have mainstream appeal.

It never even occurred to me.

I thought I was writing it for this tiny niche audience of hardcore space dorks.

[shouts for joy] [Kluger] We fell in love with Mars a long, long time ago and our goal now is to be a part of Mars, is to live on Mars.

[Urban] Doing something as hard as going to Mars doesn't just happen.

You need like a perfect storm in many ways.

You need the right moment with the right funding, with the right people or person.

[brass band plays celebratory music] [cheering and applause] [Nye] Wernher von Braun is a famous German scientist and he took these ideas about how to operate liquid-fueled rockets and he made these extraordinary spacecraft that went on to put humans on the Moon.

[music and cheering continue] [Charles Bolden] Wernher von Braun, when he designed and built the Apollo program, in the back of his mind already, he was way past Apollo.

He and his team were talking about: how do we get to Mars?

[music and cheering continue] We knew that the city of Huntsville was solidly behind us, and with your continued support I will see you back in orbit with that new space station, to which we will all ride in the reusable launch vehicle, and maybe one day we'll have a man on Mars.

Thank you.
