火星一代 The Mars Generation Movie Script

Rub the orange! Rub the orange!

[all laughing and cheering] [Raj] I think we should go to Mars because we would learn so much along the way.

Forget about actually stepping on Mars.

I think the journey there is far more important.

We're checking the payload to see if it's still intact.

See any juice?

[camper] Oooh... This chute idea might have saved us.

It's cracked.

No! I think we made it!

Oh my god, we made it!

[all celebrate] Whoa!

Yes!

[laughter] [Raj] Wow, that was so ratchet.

[Eugene Cernan] Bob, this is Gene and I'm on the surface.

[breathless] I'd like to just say, what I believe history will record: that America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow.

As soon as the first landing on the Moon seemed inevitable, and certainly after it happened, every single story written about that success included a secondary story that said "So, what's next?" [Cernan] And as we leave the Moon at Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return: with peace and hope for all mankind.

God speed the crew of Apollo 17.

[Jacobsen] In that moment, von Braun reveals his true ambition as a scientist.

This is a great moment.

We've gotten to the Moon.

But actually it's a stepping stone to the red planet, to Mars.

[Kluger] Wernher von Braun talked about a Mars mission and he talked about a possible presence, permanent presence, on Mars by 1981.

That sounds insanely ambitious: 11 years to have a permanent presence on two planets.

But the fact is, it was equally hubristic to say "And we're gonna put a man on the Moon by 1969." Except we did it.

So everything we were talking about doing in extremely short order, by 1981, getting people on Mars, was actually perfectly consistent with the extremely short order work we had done to get to the Moon.
