The Mars Mission: Our Next Frontier is produced by Laurie Kolarik to introduce NASA’s groundbreaking research in critical stages and its difficulties on the quest for Mars colonization. The three main stages to colonize Mars—Earth Reliant, Proving Ground, and Earth Independent—require significant human effort and evolution to accomplish. It’s safe to say that we still have a long way to go to ensure the survival of future generations on Mars.
Earth Reliant signifies cooperation among humans and society. From human health and safety to crew well-being, astronauts must adapt to their surroundings, necessitating international cooperation to support their tasks. Secondly, proving and testing a Mars-like environment is vital. Testing technology and simulating potential astronaut circumstances help predict the real situations on Mars. It’s also crucial to examine the Mars Mission’s independence from Earth. While some suggest creating backup options on Earth and thriving in underground habitats, NASA prefers to preserve Mars for scientific research. Therefore, numerous possibilities await Mars colonization, and all of these require people to envision and embark on this extraordinary journey.
This film falls into the popular science category and serves as a means for the audience to explore current Mars Mission research.
I would give this film a 4 out of 5 stars.
