The Mars Underground (Dr. Robert Zubrin) (2007)
MARS UNDERGROUND details aerospace visionary Dr. Robert Zubrin and his theory of the establishment of permanent human settlements, and the greening of Mars into a second Earth for humans to live on.
THE MARS UNDERGROUND
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.

In terms of information (concise, lay information at that!), this documentary was spot on. I found it on my DVR from the Discovery Science Channel (I routinely record “space” night every week). Though the film tends to focus on all of Robert Zubrin’s theories exclusively, it’s a great poster tool for pushing the agenda of manned space exploration past the moon. I suspect the film’s title is a reference to the Mars society, and not to Mars geology (which is what I was thinking at first). Although I’m not a member of the Mars society, but I do agree with the case for Mars in general, and this was more exciting than an hour of watching the Mars rovers slowly dig an inch into Mars’ surface.
Although I like to consider myself pretty familiar with these topics, this documentary really gave me insight into the history and primary concepts of the argument for Mars that I never really knew before. The Mars Underground actually answered many questions that I knew to ask from my experience that I would have thought would go unanswered in this short documentary. In the first few moments, I was already asking about radiation, provisions, bone mass loss (due to gravity), and the overwhelming cost of a short Mars trip only to throw around some dirt and plant a flag.
Dr. Zubrin’s very bold plans really throw standard convention and the tendency to inject too much bureaucracy into a simple project. His almost shoestring budget and nearly arrogant propositions are aligned with the same thinking of the Apollo missions, Christopher Columbus, and other major pioneering ventures. But it’s what is needed to take that next step and step out of our reductionist couch comfort to do what’s right for humanity in the name of life itself.Password: BayW.org
