05/21/2020 This wishful thinking documentary about THE MARS GENERATION talks about the hopes and dreams of young people wanting to land on Mars. They don't talk very deeply about why it is important to further explore any part of space, which is a failure to generate an argument about why the money should be spent to take that next step. Talking about building the first interplanetary railroad is a good start. Otherwise, they talk about the costs of space. Money, money, money. Money is always such a huge problem and obstacle, maybe something needs to change about that. Then Elon Musk comes along and is willing to throw all the money he can at the next step in human development. Through the SpaceX program, we can see a rapid experimental movement towards the future our species needs. Oh yes, and the doc briefly mentions how we still need to do something about sustainable living on Earth. Because we can't all get to Mars if things go wrong on our planet of origin. And then even with all that, we also get to see our favorite science spokespeople like Neil Degrasse Tyson, Bill Nye and Michio Kaku all talk about the practical parts of space travel. All started by American leadership hiring a Nazi. See more 08/10/2018 I love this so much! See more 09/27/2017 I didn't care for it right from the beginning.
