“Arguments for Mars” - a music video from the Symphony of Science series
The following video is the sixth in the series of music videos “The Symphony of Science” , which aims to popularize promising research.
It is dedicated to the Martian community of Robert Zubrin - an American engineer, an enthusiast of the exploration of Mars, who devoted his life to making the manned flight to Mars become a reality. In this video, Robert Zubri and his colleagues argue why a manned flight to Mars is necessary, and why it is now.

[Robert Zubrin] Mars is the next logical step in our space program. The challenge has been in our eyes for the past 30 years. There is water, carbon, 24-hour day, geothermal energy. Mars is a place where we can settle.
[Karl Sagan] There is a giant crack on its surface, 5000 kilometers long. There is a volcano as great as Arizona.
[Zubrin] So the choice in life is one — either growth or decay. Grow or die. I think we should grow.
[Sagan] Mars is a world of wonders.
[Brian Cox] It has canyons, valleys, rivers and giant ice sheets.
[Sagan] Mars is a world of wonders.
[Zubrin] People should not go to Mars in 50 years, people should go to Mars in 10 years. We will either gather courage to go, or risk falling into stagnation and decay.
We are waiting for cosmic radiation, low gravity, storms of Martian dust, possible contamination by extraterrestrial microorganisms. But these are the dragons that we can take on.
[Sagan] Already in our time we will sift the sands of Mars, establish our presence here, and fulfill the dream of the century.
[Coke] Mars rovers really captured our imagination. But they are really outdated as researchers.
[Zubrin] If you build volunteers for the first crew to Mars, they would stretch from coast to coast (chorus)
[Coke] Mars is a dry and frozen version of our house, covered in red dust and sand.
[Penelope Boston] At one time, in the distant past, Mars was very similar in its conditions to the early Earth.
[Zubrin] There will always be people with new ideas, how people should live together.
[Coke] Now we have “eyes” and “ears” on the surface.
[Zubrin] What remained with you after you went is better than what you left behind.
When you leave, the good that you yourself have left will remain. You must believe in hope, you must believe in the future. And more and more people come to the point of view that a positive future for humanity requires human expansion into space.
(chorus) We are at a crossroads today, we either have the courage to go, or we risk falling into stagnation and decay.
