By the year 2000, we'd overpopulated,polluted and poisoned our planet...
:00:41
...faster than we could clean it up.
:00:43
We ignored the problem for as long aswe could but were kidding ourselves.
:00:48
By 2025, we knew we werein trouble...
:00:51
...and began to desperately searchfor a new home: Mars.
:00:56
For the last 20 years, we've sentunmanned probes with algae...
:00:59
...bioengineered to grow there andproduce oxygen.
:01:03
We'll build ourselves an atmospherewe can breathe.
:01:06
And for 20 years it seemed to work.It looked like we'd pulled it off.
:01:11
Then all of a sudden,oxygen levels started to drop.
:01:14
We don 't know why.
:01:32
The international community has thrownall its resources behind us.
:01:36
It's the greatest undertaking manhas ever attempted.
:01:39
Our ship, Mars-1 , is too massive tolaunch from the surface of the planet.
:01:44
We've shuttled to the high-orbitspace station...
:01:47
...for a low-gravity launch to beginour six-month trip:
:01:52
The first manned mission to Mars.
:01:55
The hope and survivalof mankind rests on us.
