The Mars Underground

At the dawn of the 21st century, space agencies in Europe and America are making plans to land the first humans on Mars. But manned missions to the red planet have been proposed before.

For some, Mars holds the answers to mankind’s future in space. Others say Mars is too far, too dangerous and too expensive for humans to explore. And in a world torn by troubles, some say there’s no need or will for mankind to reach into space anymore.

Released in 2007. 84 min. Director: Scott J. Gill. Documentary film. Suggested by Alex.

    Im so tired of hearing about terraforming Mars. The only reason the Earths atmosphere hasnt been blown off into space by solar bobardment is becaus we have a hot core and thus a magnetosphere to protect us from it. No hot core, no terraforming……

    • Jchoi

      The atmosphere isn’t held in place by the magnetosphere, though. It’s held in place by gravity.

      • Rob

        Except without a magnetosphere to protect from solar wind and radiation, the atmosphere is literally blown away “though”… oops. You were wrong.
        Dan is right.

        • Mike

          Actually your both some what right and wrong. Mars does have a liquid core. The problem is it doesn’t have a molten iron outer core at this time. However, lab tests have shown that this outer core could redeveloped and give it back the magnetic field they believe it once had.

  • Rob is retarded

    How about the fact that it will take eons and eons and eons for whats there now, on mars, to blow away into space. Let alone what will be added by Humans. Oops rob, Dan is wrong and your a tool. The threat to life from no magnetic core is radiation, you tard. If life can find a way to withstand that then it will have no problem replenishing what is lost to solar wind. Even if life doesn’t adapt, the atmosphere will still be around for a very very very very (one more in case you don’t get the point) very long time. Eat a bag of dicks Rob. God Damn, I love being right on the Internet!
