Ancient Aliens (2010)
S11E02 Destination Mars
Episode Overview
In the next two decades, humanity aims to dispatch its first settlers to Mars, embarking on a challenging six-month journey to become the planet's inaugural visitors. These astronauts are expected to reside and ultimately perish on Mars, never returning to Earth. This intense interest in the Red Planet stems from recent NASA findings, indicating not only the presence of liquid water but also the possibility that life on Earth may have originated from Mars. Some ancient astronaut theorists speculate that extraterrestrial beings could have once colonized Earth, and this mission to Mars might unveil the secrets of our cosmic past while offering solutions for humanity's long-term survival.
