Mars, Earth's neighbor, the future home of mankind.

The mention of these always arouses the boundless imagination of human beings.

It can be an outer space planet with a harsh living environment, a fantasy utopia, or an earthly paradise like Earth.

Why do we want to explore the universe? It's a big question, but it's also discussable.

First of all, all the knowledge that human beings currently have comes from thinking and exploring the universe, and exploring the universe is the key to promoting the progress of human civilization.

When mankind was still in the age of ignorance, our ancestors were curious about the mysterious starry sky, and they could not scientifically explain the changes of the sun, moon and stars, but they believed that there was infinite wisdom hidden in it.

Astronomy is one of the oldest disciplines in human history, and as early as ancient times, tribal leaders described the oracles displayed by the stars.

Whether it is Eastern civilization or Western civilization, there are descriptions of astronomical stars in their mythological stories, and it is believed that the endless starry sky has its own deep meaning, and the movement of a star often indicates the occurrence of some major event.

Mankind then observed the movement of the stars, observed the changes of the four seasons, compiled the calendar, guided social life, and wrote countless magnificent poems in various languages.

These experiences, perceptions and reflections on the vast starry sky and the mysterious universe have greatly enriched the spiritual world of mankind, and it is the driving force in the development and transformation of human science, religion, art and thought.

Today it is often said that the contemporary era is a high-tech era.

In fact, our understanding of the universe is very small, the earth is a speck of dust in the universe, and human beings are even smaller.

In the face of the truth, human beings know too little knowledge, so it is even more necessary to explore the unknown.

Secondly, the Earth is the home planet of mankind, but in a sense, it is also a prison for humanity.

The development process of human civilization is closely related to the use of energy.

When human beings mastered fire, human evolution took a big step, and with the widespread use of water, coal, steam, electricity, oil, nuclear energy and other energy sources, human beings entered the age of science and technology step by step.

However, the energy on the planet is not really inexhaustible, and if there is really a day when it is depleted, what will the humans on the planet do?

Judging from the current historical stage, the interstellar migration of the entire human race is indeed very unrealistic, but the speed of scientific and technological progress is unpredictable.

It has only been a few thousand years since mankind reached the top of the earth's ecosphere, and the history of human scientific and technological civilization is even shorter, that is, more than 300 years in modern times.

In the past 300 years, mankind has created far more civilization than in the previous millennia, and in recent decades, science and technology have changed even more rapidly.

This means that the trajectory of technology is not linear, it is exponential, leapfrogging, and it may get faster and faster.

Who can say that in the era of thousands of years from now, human beings will not be able to achieve interstellar migration?

Interstellar migration may seem like a fantasy to us now.

High-rise buildings, space shuttles, and mobile communications are also fantastical for Qin Shi Huang, but they have been realized by human beings.

In addition, exploring the universe has the potential to prevent some catastrophic accidents.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, dinosaurs were the overlords of the planet, but dinosaurs are extinct, and all they leave behind are fossils.

The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs may have been the impact of an asteroid, so it is possible that humanity will also suffer a similar interstellar catastrophe in the future.

Maybe in a thousand years, humanity will not meet it, but what about two thousand years?

Exploring the universe is also to build a great wall in space to protect human security, and it is the key to promoting scientific and technological progress.

Aerospace science and technology is a highly integrated system of modern science and technology, which includes almost all disciplines that have been mastered by mankind.

Every human exploration of the universe is a large-scale collaboration, such as the Apollo program, with a total of more than 400,000 participants, involving more than 80 research institutes, more than 200 universities, and more than 20,000 enterprises.

This collaboration is a huge boost for all disciplines.

Today, people often discuss mobile phone technology, Internet technology, unmanned driving, new energy vehicles, these technologies actually originated from the research and development of space science and technology in the early days, and these technologies have profoundly changed our lives.

The technology that people usually discuss usually belongs to the progress of technological application, and the real cutting-edge technology basically comes from the exploration of the universe.

What is the universe? Where does it come from? Where will it go? And in what sense does human beings exist in the universe?

There are many questions in everyone's mind, and all of them can be asked over and on, and eventually they all belong to the question of the origin of the universe, which is still unanswerable.

No one knows when humanity will be able to answer these questions, but optimistically there may come a day.

Humans have existed for about 2 million years as a separate species. Human civilization began about 10,000 years ago, and its development has been steadily accelerating.

If human beings want to continue for the next 1 million years, then they must strive to maintain the lower limit of human nature, and at the same time strive to break through the upper limit of science and technology.

As the most ideal planet for human interstellar migration, Mars is a recurring topic and a timeless image in the movie.

There are countless science fiction movies about Mars.

Wu Jun has only seen Matt Damon, who grows potatoes on Mars.

Angel's "Journey to Mars" is not very famous among many movies about Mars, and the age is relatively old, Wu Jun is watching it for the first time today.

As the plot of the movie unfolds, Wu Jun finds that in terms of imagination and plot alone, this old movie is actually not bad.

The film tells the story of Captain Ewente, a young adventurer, who is encouraged by his father to design and build the spaceship "Shojin" and lead a crew to explore Mars.

In the film, the "Shojin" is shaped like an ark with wings, from which you can see some shadows of the space shuttle.

Due to the limitations of the understanding of the times and technical means, the crew's months-long journey to Mars in the film did not experience the common science fiction problems such as oxygen leakage, course deviation, and circulatory system failure during modern science fiction movie space voyages.

All they faced was depression, tension and other psychological problems caused by long-term isolation, and they even reached the verge of mutiny at one point.

Rather than being astronauts, the crew on the "Shojin" is more like a group of sailors sailing on the sea.

Da Liu also mentioned in the book "The Three-Body Problem" that the mysterious space and the blue sea have long been connected.

Why a spaceship and not a spaceplane?

Why a space fleet, and not a space swarm?

After the "Shojin" arrived on Mars, Captain Evant discovered that the Martians were no different in appearance and physiology from earthlings except that they were taller.

The difference is that the Martians have long been out of the low-level stage of earthlings falling into each other.

The Martians are a group of pure vegetarians and pacifists, with a religious self-sufficiency and piety.

After a misunderstanding, Captain Avant finally realizes his flaws as an earthling, sublimates himself spiritually, and finally falls in love with the daughter of the Martian leader, and returns to Earth with her.

The film runs 97 minutes.

In the process of watching this film, Wu Jun couldn't help but associate it with [Resource Tycoon].

Is Angel crazy hinting at herself?

Tall and vegetarian, the Martian and Angel in this film have a lot of similarities.
