A Brief History of Mars Exploration

There is little doubt that Mars will be the next step in our continuing march to the skies, with some predicting we will take that giant leap within the next decade. Who among us will be the intrepid explorers to settle Mars? How will they survive on that barren world? What will life be like for the first human Martians? As the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, join us for a wondrous journey guided by a crew of experts who will explore the challenges—technological, physiological, and psychological—of sending humans to Mars.

This video is excellent! Thank you so much for including those clips of Carl Sagan speaking. I had never heard the clip at the end where he was talking to future Martian colonists... I'm not afraid to say it brought a few tears to my eyes <3. I really hope they play his audio to the first Martian colonists, so they can better understand how they are fulfilling the dreams of so many who came before them.

This channel is new to me, but I regret because of not knowing it in the first place. The topics are always fascinating.
Let everyone know about this channel who's viewing my comment, cause the topics will make anyone(specially younger gen) interested in pursuing a career on the STEM field.

Please stop saying "ACE" and "BCE" . The Gregorians didn't name it that. The only reason to change it, is because the Gregorians are christians. Changing the name of something because the inventors are of a religion you don't like is a hostile act . The Gregorians invented the most accurate calendar to date and has been adopted by the world. They get to name it for whatever reason they like. When you change it as an affront to their religion it is a theocidal act.
In case you are curious, I am a level 7 non-theist on the Dawkins scale.
