[Raj] I have no information
from anyone in space.
I mean, this is important.
[Patrick] Ground Leader checking in.
I was directly told that we cannot
land on Mars before we do a med check.
Meteor shower incoming!
We have a meteor shower!
[metallic banging]
CAPCOM, come in.
Guys, just stay calm. We believe the
orbiter can survive the meteor shower.
[banging continues]
I believe we have a leak.
[beeping]
OK, pressure's going down. This is bad.
[camper] What do we do?
Get them out of here!
No! Oh my god!
[camper screams]
Throw them in the FEMA hallway!
Moderate cabin pressure
onboard the Station.
[camper]
Cabin leak check. Losing air pressure.
[banging continues]
Are we dead?
Are we OK?
All in a day's work!
Space for me is one of the things
that defines me most, I think.
It really is a central part of who I am.
I am a space nerd.
Yeah, I would say that I am a space nerd!
I am the biggest space nerd
of all the space nerds ever.
It may not look like it, but I am.
Because space is space and it's awesome.
-[CAPCOM] Up here we may be slightly...
-[mission control] OK, stand by.
We have you go for orbit.
You're go for orbit.
[Dr. Michio Kaku]
When we look at the night sky, we think
"Are there any planets out there
that are possible homes for humanity?"
[newscaster] The spacecraft almost seemed
to grow stronger as the days went by.
Going to Mars will foster
an entire revolution
in how people think about
how they will invest their brain energy
in their lives and in their careers.
By the way, this next generation wants
to do it because they know it's cool.
[astronaut] Go for landing, 3,000 feet.
[mission control] You're looking great,
so we know it will be a good flight.
[CAPCOM] Astronauts report it feels good.
[Raj] It's been over 50 years
since we've done
something significant like this.
Having a man, or woman, walk on Mars
is just the most badass thought
in my mind.
[mission control] Liftoff.
I think Mars is an interesting planet
and it would be fascinating
to do science there.
[CAPCOM] We just had word from Houston
we're ready to have you get out
whenever you're ready.
[astronaut] OK, we've got our go now.
Is that right?
[CAPCOM] Affirmative.
[Josh] This is where people
are going to live, on another planet,
close enough to get there in under a year.
So yes, it's dangerous!
Yes, it's never been attempted.
Yes, you're probably gonna die.
But you can do it still.
[astronaut] How you doing,
Mission Control?
-[mission control] Good.
-[astronaut] Telcom? Guidance, happy?
-[CAPCOM] Go!
-[astronaut] Final go!
[CAPCOM] 2,000 feet. 2,000 feet.
Into the air, 47 degrees.
[astronaut] Roger.
[Tim Urban]
Does anyone regret going to the Moon?
Does anyone who lived in the 60s say,
"What a waste of time,
I wish we hadn't done that."?
No. Going to the Moon was awesome.
Everyone's happy we went to the Moon!
Mars is even cooler.
[newscaster] Mariner is the spacecraft.
Mars is the destination.
[newscaster] Americans could once again
look up towards their future with faith
and with confidence.
We're focused on Mars.
That's NASA's ultimate goal.
To lead other nations,
and particularly ourselves,
with humans to Mars.
[newscaster] The retrograde rockets
will be tested in space.
The antenna housing
will transmit telemetry.
[Alyssa] Ever since I was little,
I've always had a passion for space.
It would be so amazing just to see
the Martian surface with my own eyes.
[mission control] T minus 25 seconds.
We will go to Mars.
Let's go out there and explore.
Let's make discoveries.
Let's change the world.
-[camper] Is this the PCS right here?
-[camper] OK, the L Cone...
[instructor]
A couple of things you need to know.
When the launch happens going to Mars,
what are we going to say to the press?
[camper] I mean, I'm sure Neil Armstrong
had a ton of time
to think what his first words would be.
I know what I would say.
What do we want?
[all] Oranges.
When do we want we want them? Oranges!
[instructor] Fantastic.
That's a great monologue.
However, we're going to transition
to practicing your checklists now.
Everybody has a checklist
that was either on their seat
or around their space.
It's under your suits.
It's what happens when you start
before the mission starts.
Coming to Space Camp
is the closest I can really get to space,
at least emotionally and psychologically.
7A on.
[instructor] Do you guys feel good?
[Josh] C auto.
Tank 9. Reset.
[instructor]
This is the suiting up process.
We'll transition over.
Grab the book. You got it?
[Josh] If people want to
call me a space nerd,
they can call me a space nerd.
And I'll say "Yeah, so what do you
want to know about space?
You want to know
about SRBs, egress, ECLSS?"
And they'll be like "What?"
And I'll be like "So, wait, which one
did you want to know about?
Cause I can give you at least five,
maybe ten minutes of conversation
for each one.
Come at me, bro!"
-Let me out of this.
-Come on, Josh!
Today, we were the first group ever
to test out this new Mars Mission.
[instructor]
This mission is a futuristic mission,
obviously, because we haven't
gone to Mars at this point.
This is MEB, the Mars Elysium Base.
And this base has been delivered
to Mars already
with all the gear that you guys
are gonna need to set it up, OK?
[Kyle] The Mars Mission is something
that they've had in R&D for a while.
It's exhilarating, the fact that
we are simulating a mission to Mars.
[instructor]
You got your guy out there. Pull it up.
[Zoe] We are training to go to Mars.
We know that there will be problems
because it is dangerous.
We need to have the simulator
as close to a nominal mission as possible.
[Raj] This is gonna be intense!
[excited chatter]
Space Camp was designed
to simulate the peak of NASA.
This is cool! Woah!
[Zoe] Here at Space Camp,
we learn a lot about space history
and what it will be like
to be an astronaut.
All of the simulators here,
NASA has been recruited to help design.
So, they're as close as we can get
to what the astronauts actually use.
[camper screams]
Oh my God!
[laughter and chatter]
[Victoria]
This is my third year at Space Camp.
I said, "I'm going to
apply for a scholarship,"
because being an astronaut is
something I don't want to give up on.
I'm going up whether I want to or not!
I had to get three letters
of recommendation,
I had to write two essays,
and I had to do a science experiment
and break it down
in the scientific method.
[screams]
[instructor] Oh! Good job, Victoria!
[Jace] I believe that
the people who come here
are the future of the space program.
It's really giving us an education
on how to be a person
who works with space on a daily basis.
When I grow up, I would like to be
CAPCOM for NASA.
-I want to become a mission specialist.
-Be a machine toolist.
I want to be an engineer.
Aerospace engineer.
