In 2020, several astronauts carrying out the Mars project have erected the American flag, and this Star-Spangled Banner just reflects the narrowness and insignificance of human beings-human society cannot extricate itself if it is still sinking into the competition of nation-states. , Then the distance to interstellar civilization is still far away.
Of course, in addition to the Stars and Stripes, NASA and other printed texts, the rendering of American consciousness is already very low-key, and even so, we still can’t tell whether the director’s mind is clever ridicule or catered to American society.
Nowadays, conflicts at the Copenhagen Summit are fierce. Mankind is not only facing a huge environmental crisis, but also suffering the test of economic depression. Even NASA said that the moon base program may not be launched until after 2020. And no one can guarantee how far this unprecedented money burning project can go. Including the serious differences at the Copenhagen summit, space technology is also full of barriers. The United States resolutely enjoys the results, while China, India, and others are repeating construction at the same time... Chavez said well, the United States spends more than 600 billion military dollars a year. , But the cost of external environmental protection technology support is less than 10 billion a year. Such a huge contrast may be enough to explain the stupidity of human beings. Therefore, the highly civilized Mars, which is greatly praised in this film, looks like a fairy tale in an ideal country.
Of course, what I'm talking about here is not about the viewing and entertainment of the film, but trying to talk about the problems that humans really face in the exploration of the universe. Perhaps, in the face of countless interest entanglements, human beings do need a little fairy tale to let go of the eternal and ultimate dream of interstellar exploration.
