00:28The discoverers
00:30They offer us all the guarantees of happiness
00:32Exemplary light
00:36Who enlightens, who prospers
00:38And opens the way to the dreams of humans
00:42They found levers to lift the world
00:47And thanks to them, the Earth wanted to play ring-around-the-rosie
00:52Turn, turn, all the wheels of locomotion
00:57And cars following each other in a line
01:00And they march by, then quickly speed away
01:02The discoverers
01:04I'm already dreaming of other pipe dreams.
01:06So that we may progress in the wisdom of our old age
01:13The discoverers
01:18The discoverers
01:25Come on, my children
01:31Maestro, after all these discoveries
01:33After the conquest of the Moon
01:34What is left to invent?
01:37We've already discovered everything
01:39Yeah, we've already discovered everything, haven't we?
01:42Anyway, now we know everything
01:44Come on, please, play!
01:47If you only knew, children, how many things there are still to discover
01:51To understand
01:52The origins of life, of matter
01:54The infinitesimally small things that we barely know
01:57How the brain works
01:59And then, evolution
02:05The mysteries of the cosmos
02:08In a few years
02:09Your life, the life of your children
02:11It will be different
02:12Let's imagine tomorrow
02:13The day after tomorrow
02:14It is 2020
02:16Coffee and toast
02:17An egg priced for sir
02:19Chocolate, strawberry tartine for the young lady
02:21The young gentleman is late
02:23As per usual
02:24I wish you a very good appetite.
02:32Thank you, Nestor, thank you
02:33Could you bring me one of the apricots from the basket there?
02:38Those are oranges, sir.
02:40Not apricots
02:41The gentleman is still joking with me
02:43You never cease to amaze me, Nestor.
02:44How do you know that?
02:47I am a senior butler, sir.
02:49Each of my hands contains 5000 sensors, sir.
02:55It's going to be a big day for you
02:57At the World Assembly
02:58Yes, I'm hurrying.
03:00I need to be there at 11:00 sharp
03:02And you ?
03:03As usual, you know
03:04Planetary Research Center
03:13Hello, friend
03:14I was just about to call you
03:16Hello, Fats
03:17Where are you ?
03:19We left Washington
03:20That was a few minutes ago
03:21In suborbital flight
03:23We will have crossed the Atlantic in 25 minutes
03:28Listen, Fats
03:29The World Assembly absolutely must vote against this colonization.
03:32There will be opponents.
03:34I know, Fats
03:35Always the same
03:36But...
03:37To win, let's proceed step by step.
03:39Here's what I suggest
03:42It seems we have new school bags
03:44Yes, with a built-in computer
03:47Do you realize?
03:54THANKS
03:55There you go!
04:01Attention !
04:04Attention !
04:05Attention !
04:06Attention !
04:07Attention, I'm about to start!
04:19Oh, come on, children!
04:21Come around me
04:23I'm going to explain how it all works
04:31You have the screen here, of course.
04:33And there, the computer keyboard
04:36Printer, microphone and speaker
04:40And this button connects you to the main memory.
04:44To get all the information you need
04:47Okay, are there any questions?
04:50But, master, there is no library?
04:53Good question
04:54This small disc contains a library of 100,000 pages
04:59The equivalent of 500 pounds
05:00You can insert it here and read it on the screen, of course.
05:07Now, the lesson will begin.
05:09And since it's a current topic, we're going to talk about the planet Mars.
05:13Send holograms of your prizes
05:17March
05:19Humanity's next goal
05:21Do you know its dimensions?
05:23You can find out right away
05:26Thanks to your schoolbag
05:27Go ahead, try
05:31A little less than 6800 km in diameter
05:33Yes, and is it bigger or smaller than Earth?
05:37Uh, roughly half the size
05:39Correct answer
05:39Okay, let's look at the comparison.
05:47And how far is Mars from Earth?
05:49That's because Mars revolves around the Sun
05:52And the distance changes all the time
05:54That's an excellent answer.
05:58The Sun, as for Mars
06:03It is located between 60 and 100 million kilometers from Earth
06:06That's two to three hundred times the distance to the Moon
06:08Do you see its cycle?
06:09For a long time, people believed that Mars had canals, hence the idea of little Martians.
06:13However, if we consider the scale of this flaw
06:16Three to four thousand kilometers long
06:19And one hundred and twenty kilometers wide
06:21Volcanoes as big as France
06:23And which reach a height of 27 kilometers
06:25We should be thinking more along the lines of giants.
06:30Is it possible to breathe on Mars?
06:32Oh no!
06:33Its atmosphere contains 95% carbon dioxide.
06:36Deadly to living creatures
06:38But with current knowledge, we can remedy that.
06:41So, shall we go?
06:43Perhaps one day soon
06:44The decision rests with the World Assembly
06:56The decision that the World Assembly must make today is important
07:00The conquest of our constellation would commit future generations for more than a century.
07:05The floor is now open to the European rapporteur.
07:08We all know it, our planet is becoming too small
07:11The solutions we adopted during previous sessions of the Assembly
07:16Aerial cities, cities on the water, underwater cities
07:19These are stopgap measures that do not solve the problems.
07:22Furthermore, the rise in ocean water levels caused by the greenhouse effect
07:26It will affect hundreds of millions of people within a few decades.
07:30For the future of humankind, we must free ourselves from the Earth
07:33Conquer other planets
07:34This operation...
07:35$600 million, that's the cost of this operation
07:38So where are you going to get them, huh?
07:40In your pocket or in mine?
07:42Those in my country are not angry, so your...
07:44Mr. President, may I continue my presentation?
07:47Mr. Delegate of Casovénie, you are requested not to disrupt science
07:51And wait for your turn to speak.
07:54This operation must be carried out with the financial support of the global community.
07:59Our Liberty base, 400 km from Earth, is operational for launching our spacecraft.
08:03Outside of Earth's gravity
08:05And our base on the Moon extracts oxygen from these rocks.
08:08Minerals
08:10Fuels
08:12Nine months of travel in one direction, plus what ellipses are
08:1622 months of waiting, then the return
08:19No human being could resist that
08:21And red blood cell production will be slowed down.
08:25That of non-existent white blood cells
08:27It will be anemia
08:28Reduced calcium will cause bones to break
08:31The kidneys will work too hard, resulting in dehydration.
08:34The sun's radiation will cause cancer
08:37So
08:38I have taken careful note of the objections raised by the delegates.
08:42But the artificial gravity system for our transport is now ready.
08:46And it will solve the physical problems
08:49With the protection of a good sunscreen
08:52And have you thought about the cost of the operation?
08:55The cost is certainly significant
08:56But this work will enable new techniques and skills.
09:00And if we manage to bring just one small metallic asteroid into Earth's orbit
09:04These mineral resources will be able to meet our needs for steel and nickel for centuries.
09:10And the operation will become profitable
09:13The success of these operations is not guaranteed
09:18Their exorbitant price, however, is guaranteed, you can believe me.
09:22An initial exploration by robot would allow us to test all the possibilities
09:26It will cost 50 times less
09:28And if everything goes according to plan, then we will continue the colonization of Mars.
09:35Okay, no observations?
09:42So we will vote on the proposal of the American delegate.
09:46Those who support the project
09:57By 114 votes, those who are against
10:09114 votes in favor, 17 votes against
10:11The amended Mars project is adopted by an absolute majority
10:17Mars' ice caps reflect sunlight like a mirror
10:22These algae come from our polar regions.
10:24Scattered across the Martian poles, absorbing large quantities of solar heat
10:29They will warm the planet and produce water, you see
10:45The second step will be the launch of research robots.
10:49Like this one, which, sent from our lunar base, will study the soil of Mars.
10:54At the same time, we are completing the construction of the Liberti base
11:01Subtitling by Radio-Canada
11:30You have brilliantly earned this space pilot diploma, congratulations!
11:34It is with great pleasure that I present you with this diploma in space construction engineering.
11:40Degree in Biochemical Engineering, with honors
11:48Graduated with a degree in aerospace mechanical engineering, congratulations!
11:51I hope your constructions will be well-balanced.
11:59It's okay, Reunion
12:02Go ahead, it's your turn.
12:04No, no, no, not you
12:07Failed exam, zero practical work, zero driving
12:10Well, my boy, you can try again next year.
12:16I think I might come back next year too.
12:28Ladies and Gentlemen, Delegates
12:29Colonel Pierre, director of the planetary research center, is with us today to explain the situation of
12:35Operation Mars
12:38At the Liberti base, the Quingo for Mars is finally ready.
12:42Its piloting will be automatic; it will carry the equipment and supplies for our first establishment on the red planet.
12:48So here, the base
12:56The main vehicle vessel
12:58Mars descent module, trajectory insertion engine, crew return propulsion system
13:04When this spacecraft is on its Martian trajectory, a new, very light spacecraft will depart from Liberti with four
13:10astronauts
13:11Much faster, it will join the other in orbit
13:15Meanwhile, at our lunar bases, we are storing liquid oxygen from lunar rocks.
13:22And when the base on Mars is established, this oxygen will be delivered by electromagnetic catapults and by carbon
13:38We are also studying new techniques for accelerating our spacecraft.
13:43By asteroids
13:44You are all familiar with the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars
13:47Many of them are leaving to come and fight in our skies between Mars and Earth
13:52Our ships could attempt the following harpooning technique:
13:55The leverage thus obtained significantly increases the speed of the vehicle and would allow for an improved trajectory.
14:01Impervious socket of time and silver ell
14:05Waste, yes, all of this is wasteful
14:08Regarding asteroids, I must inform you that our monitoring telescopes have detected an escaped asteroid.
14:14And get this, gentlemen, who might be heading towards our planet?
14:18It travels at approximately one hundred thousand kilometers per hour.
14:29What are the chances of it reaching us, of hitting Earth?
14:34It's hard to say, sir, he'll be near Mars soon.
14:37It all depends on its trajectory, its angle of attack, and the gravitational pull of Mars and Earth.
14:43You don't answer what the chances are of him hitting us.
14:47Yes, yes, answer, answer
14:50Today, I would say one chance in ten thousand
15:16What are they doing? Shouldn't they have gone home by now?
15:20Here they are
15:28Well then, what did you do?
15:31Hi
15:32A few bolts to check
15:39Do you know what you're eating? Come on!
15:43Well, I think it's... it's veal.
15:47It looks more like chicken
15:49Well, you're mistaken.
15:50It's cultured meat on a moonwalk
15:53To get us used to the diet that awaits us on Mars
15:58It's still not worth a steak from our good old days.
16:02I'm getting a little tired of all these preparations.
16:05It's about time we left, don't you think?
16:08Come on, a little patience, Pierrette.
16:10The big day is approaching.
16:25Oh no! You're asking for the president of the World Assembly, urgent!
16:37They come to surpass Mars
16:39This time, there's a serious chance it's heading towards Earth.
16:43And if it were to come into contact with our planet, it would annihilate all life.
16:48We must be able to destroy it, to blow it up
16:51A shot fired too close would have catastrophic consequences.
16:53SO ?
16:54A neutron bomb would deflect the asteroid
16:55The only device with a range close to sufficient is the one on our Mars expedition.
16:59And this will be compromised if we use it.
17:02However, this mission must succeed.
17:05If not now, never will
17:08With your agreement, I'm leaving for Liberty
17:11Immediately
17:21The neutron bombs I brought with my ship are being docked to your vehicle.
17:26I'm sorry children, but we really don't have a choice.
17:29The threat is far too serious.
17:31But this completely derails us from our path
17:35Explain it to us
17:35The region you need to go to is rich in asteroids
17:39If you find a satisfactory harpooning point, then you have a chance of reaching your trajectory.
17:45No one has done this before?
17:46Yes, there are machines, but with mixed results.
17:50What are the chances?
17:51Hard to say
17:53But all our monitoring stations will be on alert to guide you
17:57Good luck, children
18:08Two more days until the match
18:12Let's hope we don't miss it
18:22Look there!
18:25Ready to shoot?
18:328 seconds
18:347 seconds
18:356
18:365
18:364
18:373
18:382
18:391
18:40Go!
19:04First part of the mission successfully completed
19:07We are moving on to phase 2
19:09Finished !
19:24Colonel, they've been deviating more and more from their usual path for the past five weeks!
19:28Yes, Commander, I'm afraid they'll no longer be able to reach their planned orbit around the Sun.
19:33Put into action the plan that includes their return via Venus.
19:36Yes, Colonel, what a shame, Pierre, our children
19:40Wait, wait, Colonel, am I being reported?
19:42Yes, an asteroid, good rotation
19:44They will be nearby in two days.
19:47Position 9:57
19:50I repeat, 9:57
19:52I repeat, 9:57
19:59Wait a little longer
20:00Go!
20:13Let's disconnect now!
20:22We did it!
21:12The honor is yours!
21:14Go ahead!
21:31And what's the point of all this, huh?
21:33I'm sure we'll never go to Mars
21:35Yes, man will go to Mars and even further.
21:39because it is made to discover its universe
21:43Remember the sailors of Henry the Navigator
21:45who wanted to cross the boundaries of the known world
21:48where the sea was to fall into an endless abyss
21:50and all those discoverers we've talked about
21:53and who transformed the world
21:54Well, one day, man will also transform Mars
21:59Transform? But how is that possible?
22:01You'll see, let's imagine, let's imagine!
22:21This is what the surface of Mars was like.
22:24When the first men set foot there
22:49Their work therefore consisted of darkening the ice huts.
22:52to capture more solar energy
22:54then gasified the elements trapped inside the planet
22:57to obtain oxygen
22:59A greenhouse effect too
23:02The melting of polar ice, the evaporation of water
23:06created clouds, rain
23:09Oh !
23:10Yes, indeed!
23:11Lakes, rivers!
23:13The sky has become bluer and bluer!
23:15Oh !
23:17Oh !
23:18I'm dead!
23:21One day, in a few short centuries
23:23Men and animals will be able to live here
23:26freely, as on Earth
23:28Yes, children!
23:30Ha! Ha! Ha!
23:32Ha! Ha! Ha!
23:39Oh !
23:43The Nuclear Impulse Maze
23:45on the way to Barnard's Star
23:47six light-years away
23:48Oh !
23:49And then the same, maestro?
23:50Well, man will build ships
23:52who might catch up with him
23:54before he had achieved his goal
23:59Well, then, we'll have sailboats propelled by sunlight.
24:07Then Laser sailboats.
24:15Nuclear fusion spacecraft, why not?
24:19Matter, antimatter, we will be there almost at the speed of light.
24:23300,000 kilometers per second.
24:25One billion kilometers per hour.
24:29Then we think about spaceships, tachyons, 300 times faster still.
24:33The problem is that there, the travelers will age visibly.
24:43All of this is still just a dream, like the few prodigious ships I told you about.
24:48But let us not forget the fantastic progress made by man in a short century, the last one.
24:53There's no guarantee he won't also find shortcuts in space-time that will make travel possible.
25:00to the stars.
25:01Tomorrow ?
25:02Discoverers shape better worlds for us.
25:08With their eyes turned towards the sky, their thoughts wander elsewhere.
25:13Turn your hand, snow of stars, planets, comets.
25:18Here the man takes off, he is about to leave the ground.
25:21My words are that he should fly away.
25:23Tomorrow, they will not lead us to other heavens.
25:26Because for them, man is only at the beginning of his story.
25:33The discoverers!
25:38The discoverers!
25:40The discoverers!
25:41The discoverers!
25:42The discoverers!
25:43The discoverers!
