2 Films For The Price Of 1!

[MovieHoliks · 7/10 · 25 May 2017]

I saw this Netflix original doc the other day, and it's a winner! This movie goes back and forth between two things -- so it's almost like 2 movies rolled into one. One of them is a look inside the "Space Camp" that inspired that movie from the '80s, and the other more fascinating angle is a documentary featuring the history of the exploration of Mars, and the state of the space program -- you'll see interviews with the usuals -- Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye "the Science Guy", etc... as well as countless other scientists, astronauts, scholars, etc.. Definitely worth checking out!

Motivational movie

[jpirarrazaval-750-741289 · 8/10 · 17 July 2017]

A motivational, optimistic and inspiring movie, for entrepreneurs, and people who believe in doing things, take risks, and persistent people. Gives impulses to renew efforts for create, innovate, get budgets, motivate new people. Shows that is important believe and imagine something.

The adults are great, the kids are hard to watch

[tony-148 · 4/10 · 27 September 2018]

This film lays out the history of plans for human exploration of mars very well, especially Warner von Braun's involvement. However the brief interviews with kids attending space camp or hard to watch, while I appreciate their passion , That passion quickly turns to overconfidence, needlessly peppering their speech with technical jargon. That passion comes off more as cosplay unfortunately

kids need inspiration

As one who was and is in the space program, it's great to see these kids motivated.

i'd be curious to see where they are now, 4 years later...

did they follow their dream or did politics of manned space crush or deflect their path...

if anyone gets to Mars, it will most likely be SpaceX...
