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.
[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.
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
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
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
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.
