    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The mission liftoff is depicted by stock NASA footage of three different rocket takeoffs; SA-201, SA-202, and a third, unidentified Atlas rocket. Several rocket scenes of the landing and second takeoff make use of the Atlas rocket footage.
    • Goofs
      The same stock NASA footage of a stage separation is used three times. First during the actual stage separation, then in reverse to depict the docking of the supply ship, and once again in reverse and zoomed in to depict the landing on Mars.

    Another Baby Boomer Thumbs-Up!
    Like other reviewers on this page, I have a special place in my heart for this cheesy movie. I just re-watched the DVD, and I have to agree that it's best to just skip forward to the post-launch space adventures, and get on with it.

    What I like best is the weird design of the Polarite. Yes, the effect itself is low-tech, but the basic design is really cool... it's like a Wally Wood creation right off the pages of a 1950's EC comic such as Weird Science.

    The most frustrating element for me was the constant distraction of the hokey, form-fitting "long john" space suits worn by the astronauts, when they are out and about on the Martian surface. Do we really need to see the bulge of their private parts, along with the tell-tale outlines of their jockey underwear? Good grief...
