5:50 This moment on is one of my favourite moments in not just the genre of sci-fi shorts, but all of science fiction in general. To me it's incredibly beautiful and awe inspiring. It just illustrates perfectly that feeling, that moment of utter certainty and determination: suddenly he knows what he must do.
The set design, The costume design, Those fire VFX and the general editing aesthetic are incredible hands down one of the best pieces of sci-fi work I have seen in a while
Nice work. I was a senior in high school when man first stepped on the moon. Hard to describe the thrill watching it on TV. A lot has happened since then. Nothing that compared to that though for me.
@@Joe-sg9ll I can't say with 100% confidence it was real. It seemed very real at the time and no one had reason to doubt. However the US and Russia were locked in the cold war and competing to build the best weapons as well the most advanced technologies. The Soviet Union put a rocket into space, manned I believe, so the USA wanted to beat them. A theory has it that the moon landing was all faked. I still think we did go to the moon but I can see why we would have faked it if we did. I sort of like to keep special memories in tact if I can. Being skeptical is sometimes not a bad thing though.
The nod to Apollo 11 was incredibly well done ... and the Mars mission brought back memories of Apollo 1 .... and the clear commitment then that "others will follow" -- 5 stars!!! :)
Visually this was epic. The story was profound. We are born with the instinct to explore our surroundings...Our solar system and beyond is just a vast playpen.
Yes, some called it the greatest speech never spoken. There were probably several versions prepared for different outcomes, to not have the president make something up on the spot if something went wrong.
I thought they were going to show an image of a child dreaming of space exploration after the sadness of loss but the Triumph of escaping Mars with a lone survivor to tell the tale.
i do not get it at all. He saw a light and started up his capsule to go where? Then the computer said he was in range. For what? Sending a message back to earth or whatever he saw in the distance? Then you see him floating in the sky? What did the people looking up at the sky have to do with anything? I watched this twice. I do not get it. Somebody please help.
He saw the Martian sunrise and took a photo. He managed to get the capsule into space, where he became "in range" to transmit the photo as his last communication to Earth. Then he went for a final spacewalk.
It’s hope. Space flight is not achieved by individuals. It’s a long chain of exploration passed from one generation to the next. He knows he’s going to die. But airman do not sit and wait for death to come to us. He went out and decided to die on his terms: by sending something back home in his stead. Something that would inspire the next generation of explorers
The module was badly damaged and wouldn't last a trip back to Earth, he just got closer so signal became in range so he could send the picture back to Earth. I guess the module collapsed and left him floating in space until he suffocated.
I wish for someone to make movie about the budget NASA & others like it spend each year. More than enough to end hunger forever globally! Ahaaaa....... You like SiFy but you don't read? Well, start digging and you"all hit the truth. It you care about the reality we live in.....
NASA actually uses a lot of older hardware b/c it is more resilient in space than newer stuff, less bit flips from cosmic rays and whatnot, and more resistant to radiation.
It was a picture of Martian sunrise sent as a way to let everyone know that even though the crew won't make it back, he at least sent some piece of inspiration for future generations to keep trying, even if it means loss of lives. As for upside down part here's a quote from an article about Apollo 11 mission: "At first, the images broadcast from the Moon were upside down, due to the position in which the television camera had been mounted on the Lunar Module for safe transport. Operators at Honeysuckle Creek flipped the picture for broadcast; when the astronauts moved the camera to a tripod, it was flipped back around." I guess he did that intentionally as a homage to those moments when he was a kid that inspired him to become an astronaut.
that looked more like a landing capsule. seems unlikely it would be able to blast all the way into orbit, even on a full tank, even with the lower gravity and thin atmosphere.
They are talking about going to Mars now. They'll need to launch refuel stations before it's feasible for a person to survive going there and back. Even back then, most space launch systems featured rockets that will detach (lighten the load) after their fuel is spent).
But he's going to die.. A picture showing he made it there to see the sunrise, but will die like the rest from lack of oxygen. ...I love the universe and learning everything about it. But I loathe how much money is spent on it when so many human beings on EARTH die of preventable diseases and starvation. It's never going to change. But it is incredibly sad that a dead world that's too poisonous to inhabit is more important than us..our own people. The EARTH would have to be worse than mars to have to go there and that's never happening for millions of years so why? Until human beings learn to care for each other and live peacefully, we don't deserve the right to wander this universe. That's my opinion. No one really cares. but I do.
Renee Carr- Your comment sounds like a quote by all the Europeans when the first explorers headed for the "New World". understand ? People died , money spent that could have been spent on starvation and diseases in Europe , why-whats the point , until Europeans can live in peace why should they go to more pristine lands across the Atlantic. Why -----because it's there. Same reason all worthwhile endeavors are undertaken. Because they are there !
I get your point. Its a hard sacrifice and at face value it seems pointless, wasteful and vain. The thing about advancement is that it requires moon shot leaps of faith. For now, We just don't know. Perhaps the discoveries that might get discovered will radically improve mankind. The cure to diseases, a solution to feeding the world, in don't know. One thing is certain... A radical discovery perhaps in ways unimagined will be found. Its worth the try.
I'm pretty sure you said millions of years as an exaggeration, but in case you did mean millions of years, I can assure you people will have already been to Mars well before the year 3000. Additionally, however much money people put into fighting diseases and sickness will not change that there are diseases or sickness. It may sure as well help to identify cures earlier and at quicker rates, but treating diseases as something able to be eliminated by the amount of money put in is not going to magically make people 'solve' the diseases. The same applies to physics and the laws of the universe. We can come up with theories on how things work, but they're only true until proven otherwise, and in proving otherwise, they're not being completely thrown away, but merely changed to better represent our understanding of how everything is connected. You also identify that you dislike the amount of money spent on our exploration. First, there will always be sickness and disease. We're biological, it's simply something we'll always live with until we've advanced our technology enough to only be partly biological. Second, putting all your eggs in one basket is dangerous. Had we never spent any time or money on exploration, or anything else for that matter, we would not be where we were today. The same could be said for people spending countless hours and money on origami, which is an art, yet now origami is being used in NASA spacecraft, strengthening weak materials with folds, and new designs and advancements to engineering and technology. In the same sense that origami could have been seen as merely an art, exploration and the time and money spent on it are furthering us as and helping us to reach a higher potential. I don't think you're seeing the benefits of exploration, when instead you see the benefits of money spent on sickness and bad health. From that standpoint, it is a no-brainer, but you should try to see what exploration has done for humanity. It allowed us to reach all parts of our planet, find more space for people to spread to, gain additional resources, and discover new species and places which have allowed us, in turn, to advance our medical knowledge as well. I put that last bit in especially for you. I challenge you to change your view. Have a good day.
He was low on Oxygen so even if they had sent anyone for help they would not have reached on time so he instead sent an image of the sunrise on mars to let them know that mankind atleast landed on mars

agreed with all you said ... but the little story line barely catches up with the great cinematorgraphy and VFX etc ...
isn't that the speech Nixon had prepared in case Buzz and Neil got stuck on the moon?
Thank you for this comment! I would not have made that connection otherwise. Makes this one hit that much harder
Yes it is. Well done.
I wish someone would make a movie about going to Mars that's NOT a disaster mission.
**The Martian**
Ice cubes in a movie about mission to Mars and it's pretty successful The astronauts kick major alien ass
As beautiful and gripping in 2024 as it was when first released.

I think he should have stayed in the capsule, opened up the emergency bottle of whiskey and chilled out for a while.

I like the way he went away floating through space quietly & serene
Visually this was epic. The story was profound. We are born with the instinct to explore our surroundings...Our solar system and beyond is just a vast playpen.
How come no didn't know Omeleto had a sci-fi channel? 🤔 My favorite genre? 😳
Omletto has some goooooood short videos
It's a damn shame that we don't have more
This concept is awesome. The press briefing sounded like the eulogy for Apollo 11 if they had crashed. Omeleto should get more views
This was pretty good. If you have not done so, you might want to check out a site called DUST. It has a lot of great sci fi shorts.
I was thinking exactly the same thing about the eulogy...
Yes, some called it the greatest speech never spoken. There were probably several versions prepared for different outcomes, to not have the president make something up on the spot if something went wrong.
The moment the music kicked in when he fired the boosters I was on the edge of my seat saying "Ya! Because we are mankind, mo&#^@^^er!"
7:26 Taskkill ?
Beautifully made. Evocative, emotional, artisitic, tragic.... Thank you Andrew Finch!
Bravo, a touching story about the heart of exploration and the soul of the explorer.
Why does this video have barely any views?
We watched it at least.
Why are some movies vanishing from your site?
Hey Allen, great stuff man. Thanks, love it
Amazing VFX and visuals
Brilliant! Inspired.
Dope, brilliant story and cinematography
I thought they were going to show an image of a child dreaming of space exploration after the sadness of loss but
the Triumph of
escaping Mars
with a lone survivor
to tell the tale.
I like that. I'm gonna have to use it.
He didnt escape, he still died. He went into orbit to transmit the image he took. then left the ship to drift.
He's running Windows 2000?? (7:26) Great film.
Win ce actually. Quit common in aerospace.
It's a simple but great operating system, rip extended support

Please tell me you're not over the age of 12.

Непонятно....
I don’t get it. He ejected himself from the module? I thought he was going to land….

Incredible.
I need snicker bar.... bad... !
Awesome story
Well, the computer was running Windoze so they probably encountered a BSOD.
What's the photo ?
The sun from the surface. The survivor thought it was more important to show that they actually did make it even if they didn't survive.
Hey all the other commenters, I don't understand the message of this, and I thought the cinematography was bad. WTF?
Why Windows XP🤔
NASA actually uses a lot of older hardware b/c it is more resilient in space than newer stuff, less bit flips from cosmic rays and whatnot, and more resistant to radiation.
I'm confused on where certain light is coming from. 🤔 How is it night but bright at the bottom of a ditch?
The sun was rising, imagine a moving light with obstructions...
? I don't get it. An astronaut crashes on Mars, jettisons outta there, and with hisast breaths trabsmits a picture of a headlight?
I didn't get it. What did he transmit? Why were the people on earth upside down? Was there any point at all to this?

⭐️⭐️⭐️
seriously tho... u go all the way to Mars and u don't shoot a selfie???
Nice using Nixon’s prepared but never read speech in case the Apollo 11 astronauts got stuck on the moon (which was about a 1/3 chance.)
Astronaut had a dum look on his face.
❤️
why are comments off one some my wife loves some of these and wats to talk about it
that looked more like a landing capsule. seems unlikely it would be able to blast all the way into orbit, even on a full tank, even with the lower gravity and thin atmosphere.
Its a video. For entertainment. I get a little tired of the "experts" that know everything
They are talking about going to Mars now. They'll need to launch refuel stations before it's feasible for a person to survive going there and back. Even back then, most space launch systems featured rockets that will detach (lighten the load) after their fuel is spent).
So California just pretty much banned ham radio from free use and now you have to rent the air waves. No kidding.

Have you ever compared space related spending to military spending? I don't really think space travel is the reason why we can't have nice things.

Since he had a data connection, couldn't he send a quick audio message too ? I know, script...
He was low on Oxygen so even if they had sent anyone for help they would not have reached on time so he instead sent an image of the sunrise on mars to let them know that mankind atleast landed on mars
Cheezy
I love this but I idk y thi
Impressive and poignant.
yet another I don't understand!
That was better cgi than NASA.
Paid for by Elon Musk
Sure looked like a Dragon capsule.
Nothing wrong with that, it's in the spirit of Capitalism.
Gravity on mars.........interesting.
Mars' gravity is 38% of Earth's gravity, compared with the Moon's gravity that is 17% of Earth's gravity.
