The Mars Underground (2007)
A psychic recreation illustrates how Martians have survived underground on Mars. This film production was completed before evidence from the Viking lander photographs revealed what some claim to be the remains of an ancient civilization on the surface of the planet. Join us on a journey, the daring first human mission to the red planet and explore the challenges of surviving on Mars, a mysterious world that once had oceans, rivers and may have harbored simple life – the discovery of which could revolutionize our understanding of the universe. Ever since the beginning of the space age, a number of scientists and engineers have dreamed of someday making that journey a reality. One of the most outspoken of these is Dr. Robert Zubrin, a maverick aerospace-engineer and author known as the “Christopher Columbus of Mars”. For years, Zubrin has been designing and promoting a humans-to-Mars expedition, not as venture for the far future or one that will cost us impossible billions, but as a goal that could be attained within ten years. He sees continuing expeditions to Mars eventually leading to colonization and a second home for humanity through a process known as “terraforming” – turning Mars into a viable blue planet. Shot entirely in breathtaking High Definition, THE MARS UNDERGROUND is a landmark documentary that brings to life Zubrin’s vision through state-of-the-art 3D animation, and gives us a glimpses into the future of man’s reign on Mars.
