火星一代 The Mars Generation Movie Script

Oh look at, look at the color in this itself.

It doesn't actually retain any of the water.

Right now we're filtering water.

So we have this terrible mix of water.

It's got like a pH of three.

It's not even water.

It's just like poison.

They hinted that we are going to take this water, make our own filters, and then drink it, and hopefully it's not terrible and kills us.

That'd be very much appreciated if we don't die from it.

Water used to be delivered in water-filled bags like this one.

But since 2010, we got a system onboard that can purify the water real time.

We have filters and a keg-size distiller that, with it, we can recycle about 6,000 liters of extra water each year.

[Raj] Right now, we're holding acidic water.

And our hopes are that lima beans are basic and will counteract the acidity in this disgusting mess.

We're running it through the lima beans three times, and then we're gonna test the pH afterwards.

By some miracle, the water will be slightly more basic than we started out.

I actually care a lot about this.

I feel like clean water is probably the most important thing ever.

Just because, at least here on Earth, we still have over a billion people who don't have access to clean water.

I want to say four.

That's a solid acidic of four.

We can accomplish so much in such little time, like landing on the Moon.

People need to understand going to Mars, it's gonna be an expensive mission.

But the technologies that we'll develop from that itself will pay off all that cost because it'll pump new technologies and more industries into our economy.

[Abby] Most people don't realize how much NASA has done for us and for our society.
