Today on Far Future Horizons we
present another exciting episode of the acclaimed BBC science documentary
series Horizon.
This
instalment of Horizon goes behind the scenes at NASA to discover how it is
preparing for its most ambitious and daring mission: to land men - and possibly
women - on the surface of Mars.
It's
over 47 years since Neil Armstrong made the first human footprint on the moon.
But getting to the red planet would involve a journey of at least three years.
Horizon
meets the scientists and engineers who are designing new rockets and space
suits, and finding ways to help astronauts survive the perils of this long
voyage.
And
it turns out that having the 'right stuff' for a mission to Mars might not be
quite what you expect.
