火星一代 The Mars Generation Movie Script

[screams] [instructor] Oh! Good job, Victoria!

[Jace] I believe that the people who come here are the future of the space program.

It's really giving us an education on how to be a person who works with space on a daily basis.

When I grow up, I would like to be CAPCOM for NASA.

-I want to become a mission specialist.

-Be a machine toolist.

I want to be an engineer.

Aerospace engineer.

It would be amazing to construct engines for a mission to Mars.

When you enter the base and turn on the emergency power, it turns to red lighting.

[instructor] That's what we're wanting... [Jace] The base that they've designed up there is fascinating.

The base is all powered down.

They have to turn on the communications array, set up the solar panels, set up all of the ECLSS systems, and also set up a greenhouse because somebody might want to eat up there.

-[camper] Activate the power.

-Hey, guys. The hydro popo is in here.

The fact that people are now even teaching children, 16 year-olds, 15 year-olds, saying, "Hey, we're going to Mars" and simulating how it would work out, means they'll grow up and we'll grow up to believe: hey, we're going to Mars.

So let's go to Mars.

[camper] I'll go there in a minute.

Well, good luck.

[chatter] [male voiceover] Of all the planets in the solar system, Earth and Mars, the third and fourth planets from the Sun, are the most similar.

But despite the similarities, Mars is essentially like no other planet.

[Jeffrey Kluger] One of the greatest allures of Mars is that Mars is nearby.

Mars is a planet, and it's a planet with potential.

It once had water. It once had oceans.

Surely, we tell ourselves, it once had life.
