Strip the Cosmos (2014)

S1E4 Expedition Mars

Mars has proven to be a challenging environment, with nearly half of its missions failing. Astronauts will face swirling dust storms, lethal radiation, and frigid temperatures as they embark on this groundbreaking journey. Despite these formidable challenges, space agencies globally are in a fierce competition to be the first to send humans to the Red Planet. But what drives this quest to explore such a seemingly desolate landscape? Once, Mars resembled Earth more than it does now. The film explores ancient riverbeds, polar ice caps, and massive volcanic areas to uncover the mysteries of this alien world, enhanced by breathtaking CGI that captures the essence of Martian dust storms.
