It’s not bad to calm down and travel in the universe

Approaching the Unknown, literally translated as "towards the unknown", haha, if you use this as a movie title, then more people don't understand what to say. In fact, Mars is just a background and a terminal, but the focus of the whole show is on the way to Mars.

Hydrogen and oxygen are extracted from the soil/sand, and then combined to make water—this is how science fiction films come from. The protagonist tried it on the desert on Earth, so he plans to do the same on Mars. Well, you can ignore this key technology. What the movie explores is more about thinking about the unknown. At the beginning, leaving everything behind, the protagonist who plans to spend the rest of his life on Mars as a wastelander for earth humans is very excited, even if he wants to spend 270 days alone on the spacecraft, he is fearless. However, the disappointed colleagues on the space station who persuaded him to give up, foreshadowed how many thorns the process would be full of.

People who are too confident make a small mistake in space, but it can be fatal. I don't understand why even the machine he built, the important set of machines that all mankind relied on to feed the first person on Mars, is still broken and cannot be repaired. And he regained control of the spacecraft amidst the dispute that he would not return to Earth, so why didn't he let the spacecraft deviate from orbit? You must know how many times the probability of deviating from orbit after the chaos is that even the astronauts above don't know where it will fly, or the probability of reaching Mars in its original orbit?

Well, the ending has to say that he can still land on Mars safely after repeated mistakes and serious shortage of water on the spacecraft. I can't help it. But can he continue to survive on Mars?

His determination to abandon his identity on Earth and head to Mars is worthy of admiration, and even I can understand it well-I have thought about it before. Those of his thoughts, it is quite interesting to calm down and listen. Even if the whole story adds up, it seems meaningless.

PS: It’s great to be able to choose the natural sounds on the spacecraft. For example, the feeling of reading in a storm is definitely good. There are also fragrances that smell of nature, such as the scent of freshly cut grass. Why is there dust in the spacecraft? do not know. Even if he grows plants in the spacecraft. In addition, the electromagnetic storm is also very beautiful and pleasing to the eye!

  • William D. Stanaforth: Our bodies are more space than matter. There's an unfathomable distance between each atom, each particle. What keeps us solid? Why don't we dissolve?

  • William D. Stanaforth: Nothing has ever lived here. Nothing has ever died here. Maybe I'll live forever.
