A mind-bending, thrilling journey exploring the fragility and wonder of planet Earth, one of the most peculiar, unique places in the entire universe, brought to life by the only people to have left it behind – the world’s most well known and leading astronauts. This edit combined episodes one and ten to create a new movie.
El 18 de febrero de 2021 el Perseverance, el rover más moderno de la NASA y una de las sondas espaciales más sofisticadas del mundo, se acerca a Marte, en un intento épico de buscar vida fuera de la Tierra. Su lanzamiento se produjo el 30 de julio de 2020, dentro de la misión Mars 2020. A 210 millones de kilómetros, un equipo de investigadores espera ansiosamente mientras el Perseverance intenta amartizar donde nadie lo ha hecho antes: junto a un cráter Jezero que podría contener restos de vida marciana, pero que está lleno de acantilados y trampas de arena, donde se puede estrellar o quedarse atascado para siempre. Si el rover logra aterrizar de una pieza, durante unos dos años, perforará las rocas de Marte buscando restos de vida.
Astronauts who have seen the Earth from space have often described the 'Overview Effect', an experience that has transformed their perspective of the planet and mankind's place upon it, and enabled them to perceive it as our shared home, without boundaries between nations or species. 'Overview' is a short film that explores this perspective through interviews with astronauts who have experienced the Overview Effect. The film also features insights from commentators and thinkers on the wider implications and importance of this understanding for humanity as a whole, and especially its relevance to how we meet the tremendous challenges facing our planet at this time.
