So there’s this forthcoming movie, “Space Oddity.” The premise is that a guy is selected for a one-way mission to Mars. This is not an unrealistic idea… for every colonization mission throughout history there have been people – lots of people – who went on a one-way trip. That’s how we colonized the entire planet, and that’s how we’ll colonize the entire universe. But instead of the movie being about the boldness of the mission, the braveness of the guy, the vision for the future… it seems to be about the people dragging him down, refusing to let him have his dream. Fark the future of mankind, stay down here with us in the dirt (rather literally in this case).

It’s not entirely clear how the movie will end, but the trailer seems to be one of those that lays out the entire plot. And it indicates that, gosh, love conquers all, including the urge to explore. To that I say: bah. And to my satisfaction, so do a lot of the commenters on the video.

Shymalan spoiler: the girl is from Mars. She needs to keep him on Earth so he doesn’t spread human diseases and wipe out the Mars population. She dies of a common cold in his arms and the movie ends with him packing up her coffin to bring to Mars. He’s part of a secret government organization and his mission has always been to destroy the Martians and harvest all the precious metals on their planet. It’s a horror/thriller.
Can always count on family to guilt you into following their dreams at the expense of your own.
Plot twist: he does end up going, but hits the firmament and discovers Mars is a sonoluminescent luminary body that nobody can ever get to.
man had a dream and got hallmarked
