00:14Last time I was on Mars, I made a promise to myself.
00:18I said if I ever got home, I would never look back.
00:23But the thing about promises is they don't survive the truth.
00:28They asked me to go back.
00:30They said I was the only one who understood that planet.
00:34I told them they were wrong.
00:36Nobody understands Mars.
00:38You don't understand something that tried to kill you.
00:41You just survive it and carry the scars.
00:44But I went.
00:45I went because 40 people needed someone who had already lost everything on that red dirt
00:50and still found a way to breathe.
00:53When the ground split, I had 11 seconds to decide who I was.
00:58The lights went out, the ceiling came down, and I was on the floor with blood running into
01:04my eyes and people screaming in the dark.
01:0711 seconds.
01:3211 seconds.
01:52And what we found beneath that surface, what was living down there, building, breathing,
02:02existing in a world we never knew was there, it changed everything.
02:07We thought Mars was dead.
02:09We were standing on the roof of someone else's home.
02:12I came back to Mars to build a future for humanity.
02:15What I found was a truth that humanity is not ready for.
02:18But ready or not, we are not alone.
02:21We never were.
02:24I came back to Mars to build a future for the future for the future for the future for the
02:25future for the future for the future for the future for the future for the future for the future for
02:25the future for the future for the future for the future for the future for the future for the future
02:26for the future for the future for the future for the future for the future for the future for the
02:28future for the future for the future for the future for the future.
02:29You
