火星一代 The Mars Generation Movie Script

By doing that, he thinks he can ignite an entire new era of space travel where we become a genuinely space-faring civilization.

[Lyons] The vision of building a civilization on Mars, it's such a big, huge endeavor.

It's not something one single company can do alone.

You need another perfect storm, you need some perfect storm of resources and technology and the right people.

And it's exciting that I think maybe we have that.

What SpaceX is trying to do is create a situation where all these industries and governments suddenly start saying, "Well, now this is an option we want to get in the game." And suddenly, all this money pours into rocket innovation, into Earth/Mars industries.

Then that's what empowers the big push to get a million people there eventually.

[Nye] Now, you can only go to Mars every 26 months.

The orbits have to be oriented.

You can't just fly over the Sun.

We don't have enough rocket fuel for that.

[Alyssa] Sometimes Mars is really close to the Earth, sometimes it's really far, because planets orbit in an elliptical path.

And we'll stay on Mars for about a year or two, depending on its orbit.

We have to wait for Mars to come all the way back around to its closest point for us to come back.

[Kluger] Once you're there, you have to be prepared to stay for an extended period of time.

And once you're prepared to stay for an extended period of time, and the first handful of people, four people, six people, eight people, learn to live off the land to the extent that that can be done, learn to make Mars their home for more than a few days, once you do that, you've hammered your first piton in the great mountain of colonizing another planet.

If you establish first a cargo route and then a human transportation route, you have to imagine that by a year like 2060, you have a thriving civilization on Mars.

It's gonna be this normal part of life.

There'll be people going there for college, people are going to be in long distance relationships.

There will be people born on Mars who want to go to Earth for a stint to see the Eiffel Tower in the flesh, to see the Sphinx in the flesh.

[Victoria] If we could have a Mars colony, that would just be so cool, to put footprints on Mars and now we are having life living there.

We can put people there.

We can have people live there.

We could even terraform it if we really tried.

[Urban] What we're talking about eventually is a blue-green planet with maybe 7 billion of its own people on it.
