Considering that two years ellapsed and Bill had no idea about the sail, that means they created that solar sail in 2 years, implemented it into Sojourner that was an already completed design, did the tests... All that in secret without anybody leaking. I know their space programs are eons ahead of ours, but the logistic seems Impossible. Great scene though.
See they don't muck around with decades of testing in this universe. They think of a solar sail and they stick on a mission to mars. Solar sail is a relatively simple technology.
@@SciMan314 Whilst Margo was giving information to the Soviets she wanted the United States to win the race to Mars, to that end she had given the design for the NASA Fission engine to the Soviets but with incorrect performance specifications. The information given was enough for the Soviets to safely operate Mars-94 but be at a performance disadvantage to Sojourner 1 with its perfected engine and Solar sail. The information she had given was enough to keep her lover alive so there was no need to reveal the secret Solar Sail. She was effectively playing both sides with the aim of getting her lover out of the Soviet Union some how whilst also ensuring the United States won the Mars race. It was a dangerous game that she almost got away with if not for the suspicions of her prodigy. The failure of the Mars-94 engine gave her the leverage to get her lover out but the cruel irony is she was found out just as he was got out of the Soviet Union forcing her to be smuggled out to Russia during the chaos of the bomb attack. My gut feeling is they are going to play out the collapse of the Soviet Union albeit delayed a decade or so with Margo in the strange position of being a traitor, she still has a part to play albeit I am not sure how.
It possible that Bill knew about the solar sails but they were still in early testing when he left. He did get suspicious when they started playing sailing songs.
For everyone commenting on how they can't believe the designs for the solar sail were not leaked, remember that this timeline doesn't have much of an internet.
Also, that's clearly an iPod at 6:14. Isn't this supposed to be '94? Does this mean Jobs returned to Apple sooner than in our timeline? The iPod came out in October 2001, a month after that event that everyone keeps reminding that J. guy about.

Yep, this whole awesome sequence showing the competitors setting off to a beautiful piece of music... And the real winner is already most of the way there by now.

Arthur C. Clark wrote a short story that appeared in Boys Life magazine. It was about a race of craft propelled by the solar wind. "Sunjammer" I must've been in 3d grade. 1964 ?
An acquaintance worked on the ealy German project to send a solar sail experiment into space, so it was fascinating to see this in action. Only thing the show got wrong is how you'd unfurl the carbon masts, on the CG model the pipe just extends.
Actually this is because in 1979 NASA first discovered Extendo-Carbon, a hyperdense material that could fold it on itself which would later be used by the CIA to create the ultimate Inspector (joke) (not even a funny one)
I'm no physicist but how would a solar sail actually help in a race to mars? They would need to be off course to start and then continually correct the course with the thrust from the sail. If they were on course from the start using a sail would change their trajectory away from mars, and seeing how the burn will always be away from the sun, wouldn't the only thing they could achieve be making the trajectory to mars longer?
@@Iskelderon But how would it be an advantage? I'm talking about the orbital mechanics side of it. As I understand it they were already on course for mars, and any changes to that should mean they will go off course, so by opening the sail they should be thrown off course.
@@charles_dingus It was simplified for the sake of TV convenience, but you could use it to your advantages if the path is right, since Mars is further out in the solar system and therefore the solar wind would be "blowing" in that direction. You'd ideally pick a timing where when you leave Earth, Mars is mowing in your direction (meaning, the Earth is ahead of Mars on the rotation around the sun). Not sure if that's a year on the show where that would be going on. In this situation, you'd more fly out from the sun and let Mars come to you.
Well I’m not sure about all real world science…….. it seems for all mankind take the ideas that nasa had but scrapped because of impracticalities and goes ahead with them. Using unrealistic time tables. I mean would you call the “sea dragon” real world science?
I adore for all mankind, every year I get nervous they won’t recapture the magic of what came before. With season 4 I felt that my worst fears had came true, I had no idea what the point of the season was. Ed on mars, Kelly looking for alien life, Margot looking for a decent cheeseburger. Aleda dealing with ptsd. Dev dealing with retirement New character running his black market. Etc etc etc Until dev showed up to Ed after ending the strike and revealed his grand plan. Then I was back fully onboard and felt guilty for having such lack of trust. “Ed, do you wanna help me (spoilers) this (spoiler)” And Ed smiles Genius.
Solar Sails Carbon Nanotube Supports would make that possible.. Its other drawback is the sail can get Holed causing a reduction in the Thrust or effect Change in Direction.. Like DS9 the sails will have to be shedable if they get damaged.
So here's where my inner engineer and scientist comes out. They'd need a sail multiple times larger than that to get the boost. IIRC for a small shoe box sized instrument you'd need a sail that is 10km x 10km in size to have a noticable impact on your speed. So for a shuttle we'd be talking about a massive sail.

Not really It's 100% a thing that would've likely happen, had this actually been our reality. As much as I hate to say it, there are absolutely countries out there that would sacrifice some of their best, if it meant being the first. You *could* say that this somewhat happened with the prior (failed) Bell X-1 flights (before Yeager's), though that was also because we didn't fully understand the sound barrier yet.
Some people have already called out the questionable logic in hiding such a feature, but I'm more curious about it's trade offs. If you can afford the complexities and weight to attach a giant fold out solar sail, you can also just simply add more fuel in it's place. I don't know how much propulsion a solar sail like that can actually provide over a trip to mars, obviously I'm a not a rocket scientist, but I think it's fair to guess that it couldn't actually be enough to justify the extra mass. It's a fun concept to play with in a story like this though!
With all the accidents that have happened in this show it's super unrealistic that the space shuttle didn't explode when putting out the giant sail especially with no testing done in actual space...
9:12 technician: …anyway as I was saying. It’s extremely dangerous and it’s unlikely to succeed. If you wish to endanger the crews lives for ego then I’d like it put upon the record you personally ordered this. The consequences are yours to face. Alone.
This girl.. she won my heart, mind and.. nuts... the moment she said " you can lead follow or f**k right off.." i wish she was my wife. Another universe maby.. oh I am probably happy there because.. Not so much here.
One thing that’s unclear and is never shown, does sojourner return to earth or land back at Jamestown ? It seems it wouldn’t have the fuel to capture and land in complete vacuum after launching from mars ?
@@Shadowkey392 If you don't care that it'd take 10,000 years to get where your going, then you'd b right. Solar sails for a vehicle that heavy would be miles on a side (estimated). If it's a laser powered sail, it could be smaller.
The ship has already accelerated to maximum speed using its thrusters. The sails aren't the main means of propulsion, they're just an addition that will give the ship a constant source of acceleration without consuming fuel.
Simple, they furl the sails back. In fact, I think that actually happens in the show too, Mars-94 suffers from some sort of breakdown and Sojourner 1 stays back to pick up the cosmonauts, giving up their new lead on Helios.
How about fusing photons with mass atoms through a fusion reactor and boost in electrostatic state around the craft like a Donut? Coffee on Mars in 2 hours and back for dinner on Earth...
A timeline where instead of 2020 today , we are at 1990s level progress? Or even 80s where millionaires meant working hard , computer engineers and not UA-cam starts today . I’m starting to be 40, rather be today when I can still be and feel more intelligent than young ones , I would feel dumb if we still had progress
Well, it is about 230 ft long. There'd be plenty of living space even if only the first 40 ft was dedicated to living area and supplies. Plus, I believe the journey took only 5 months.
A race is a bad idea. Look at the race to the south pool. The Norwegians won.but sir hilliary scote stayed behind dieing in that ant artic weather station. He had to be first at something even if it killed him. Raceing to the stars might be to ego motated. Let be realistic the fat slow turtle wins the endurance race. And survival.
Pioneers die. It kinda goes with the territory. Dev even mentions that in the original Jamestown colony (first in the now-United States), 80% died in the first 3 years. We take these things for granted now, since everywhere has been explored, pretty much, and we live cushy lives now that have been paid for in actual blood by millions who came before us. Death isn't the worst thing that can happen to a person.
Ok, so a photon loses energy when it is reflected. What happens if we trapped a photon in between two mirrors. What happens to the photon after it loses all energy?
The way it works is some of the photons get absorbed completely while others get reflected, if you trap a photon in a reflecting box it would absorb the photon as it continues to hit the mirrors
Solar sails are a real concept and are being demonstrated in orbit with probes right now, in 10-20 years with the right funding we could make something like this
No. Since the photons will always be radiating away from the Sun, it will always have an outward thrust, e.g. not towards Earth, and towards Jupiter, Saturn, etc.
The look on Ed's face when he figures out why pirate music is playing is priceless.

As much as I hate to say it, there are absolutely countries out there that would sacrifice some of their best, if it meant being the first.
You *could* say that this somewhat happened with the prior (failed) Bell X-1 flights (before Yeager's), though that was also because we didn't fully understand the sound barrier yet.
Some people have already called out the questionable logic in hiding such a feature, but I'm more curious about it's trade offs. If you can afford the complexities and weight to attach a giant fold out solar sail, you can also just simply add more fuel in it's place. I don't know how much propulsion a solar sail like that can actually provide over a trip to mars, obviously I'm a not a rocket scientist, but I think it's fair to guess that it couldn't actually be enough to justify the extra mass.
It's a fun concept to play with in a story like this though!
It's not that helpful for the trip to mars. but its very helpful for anything further way
I guess this could be done in a trip to Mars not exactly for the trip itself, but as concept proof for missions to the outer solar system
They’re right it’s not about who’s first, it’s about who’s the last one standing and in that, Ed’s ship wins.
9:08
The idea of this infantile gesture intimidating anyone working in place like this is hilarious
With all the accidents that have happened in this show it's super unrealistic that the space shuttle didn't explode when putting out the giant sail especially with no testing done in actual space...
As they say it's not over till it's over.

The soviet union doesnt fall. Humanity is heavily involved in space.
Im going to cry
the soviet union also became a social democracy by the mid 1990s lol. You still lose even when escaping reality, tankie
I love how everyone in the comments are suddenly becoming a rocket scientist after seeing this shit 😂
Such a great show too bad it didn’t get a fourth season
9:12 technician: …anyway as I was saying. It’s extremely dangerous and it’s unlikely to succeed. If you wish to endanger the crews lives for ego then I’d like it put upon the record you personally ordered this. The consequences are yours to face. Alone.
He wouldnt believe that random north korean were the first of all 3
5:39 the look on Danielle's face : "keep bragging old man, we're gonna kick your ass so bad"
This girl.. she won my heart, mind and.. nuts... the moment she said " you can lead follow or f**k right off.." i wish she was my wife. Another universe maby.. oh I am probably happy there because.. Not so much here.
The lore in my kerbal space game:
Captain Sisko would be proud
One thing that’s unclear and is never shown, does sojourner return to earth or land back at Jamestown ? It seems it wouldn’t have the fuel to capture and land in complete vacuum after launching from mars ?
It landed on mars and during the landing destroyed it’s engine so they cannabalized it
There were a dozen later missions, Sojourner 2 picked up the crew.
Sojourner had the capability to return home if refueled, but it literally landed its engine on a rock which damaged it beyond repair.
Solar sail that small for multi ton spacecraft would work only if there was huge laser shining on it.
Wait so at 2:11 mars 94 is launching but on the rescuing the soviets clip,it's the same craft
The soviets made a single stage to mars?!
Nuclear SSTO!
@VhenRaTheRaptor lol
I hate the fact that there is no delay in the communication from mars
11:00 Oh my goodness MASS Cannon! (Yeah yeah they’re ping pongs)
You’d need a much bigger solar sail to push a crewed spacecraft
Yo ho ho mateys
Awesome scene
At say around 6 million km, wouldn't there be some radio delay????
Yes, 20 seconds each way at that point.
Anyone knows the title of the music playing from 2:24 onwards?
It plays on a ton of S1 and S2 episodes as well, check the soundtrack listings and it'll be there
Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
That solar sail would have to be a whole lot bigger than that.
They could only fit it so much its still a pretty large sail
Not necessarily.
@@Shadowkey392 If you don't care that it'd take 10,000 years to get where your going, then you'd b right. Solar sails for a vehicle that heavy would be miles on a side (estimated). If it's a laser powered sail, it could be smaller.
Hey that's Darwin from X Men First class
Only problem I have with this scene is that by this point, communication to Earth would be a 20-minute delay (10 out, 10 back)
4 minutes as this is when Earth and Mars are closest.
0:55 Artifitial gravity??? In the mid 1990s???? Impossible!
Remember it's an alternative timeline.
@@frisbeepolarbear yes, you're right.
Actually it was a concept back in the 1950s and earlier.
@@Shadowkey392 Oh, the Von Braun Habitable Wheel...
not the high tech one. just a space station with a spinning wheel
Hi Bob! 🙂
Hy bob!
The solar sail needed to be at least ten times bigger to push a ship of that size.
It's not pushing them, just giving them enough acceleration to buy them few days of time over months of journey. It can totally do that.
The ship has already accelerated to maximum speed using its thrusters. The sails aren't the main means of propulsion, they're just an addition that will give the ship a constant source of acceleration without consuming fuel.
@@spacemiaou67 An to do anything noticeable, it would have to have been many times larger. ,
@@spacemiaou67 Constant source of acceleration is propulsion, the sail wasn't big enough to make any difference. It as simple as that.
Retractible landning gear is unnecessary extra weight?
It's gotta land on Mars, then the Moon again
Those carrier landings were disgusting. Hell, youbarely used the angled flight deck.
What happens when a emergency occurs that makes it necessary to be close by each other. For safty.
Simple, they furl the sails back.
In fact, I think that actually happens in the show too, Mars-94 suffers from some sort of breakdown and Sojourner 1 stays back to pick up the cosmonauts, giving up their new lead on Helios.
Is there any footage on the interior of the MARS-94 spacecraft?
No, I don't believe they ever show the interior
Hi-bob ❤
This solar sail mechanism looks so weird. Like the support cables just appear out of thin air. Other than this pretty good episode.
I hope the next Dragon spacecraft is equipped with a CRM114.
My issue what’s the Mars Soviet 95 logistics to land on Mars
I think either same as Sojourner's as in land the whole craft or they could have brought landers with them.
@@ranaghasttwo landers
Mars 94*
How about fusing photons with mass atoms through a fusion reactor and boost in electrostatic state
around the craft like a Donut?
Coffee on Mars in 2 hours and back for dinner on Earth...
Neerva rockets. But TV is to cowardly to explore that answer.
Lol I was a VFX editor on this sequence xD
Fun times.
Too bad you switched to B-team writers later in this season.
Does anybody know if the light powered spinner at 10:16 can be replicated?
We had those in elementary school its called a Crookes radiometer
Almost any kids' science gadget shop will sell them.
Sadly, I'm pretty sure the first words spoken on Mars are going to be 同志 我不被允许翻译这个
i like how they did all this and north korea still beat all three of them
A timeline where instead of 2020 today , we are at 1990s level progress? Or even 80s where millionaires meant working hard , computer engineers and not UA-cam starts today .
I’m starting to be 40, rather be today when I can still be and feel more intelligent than young ones , I would feel dumb if we still had progress
Why did they wait so late to use the solar sail?
dramatic effect
To get the right telemetry...and probably the optimal amount of speed to start from...so the sail accelerates them at the correct speed
Sojourner seems rather small to cater for the fuels, engines for VTOL, supplies, living space ect. Far too small.
Well, it is about 230 ft long. There'd be plenty of living space even if only the first 40 ft was dedicated to living area and supplies. Plus, I believe the journey took only 5 months.
A race is a bad idea. Look at the race to the south pool. The Norwegians won.but sir hilliary scote stayed behind dieing in that ant artic weather station. He had to be first at something even if it killed him. Raceing to the stars might be to ego motated. Let be realistic the fat slow turtle wins the endurance race. And survival.
Pioneers die. It kinda goes with the territory.
Dev even mentions that in the original Jamestown colony (first in the now-United States), 80% died in the first 3 years.
We take these things for granted now, since everywhere has been explored, pretty much, and we live cushy lives now that have been paid for in actual blood by millions who came before us. Death isn't the worst thing that can happen to a person.
Ok, so a photon loses energy when it is reflected. What happens if we trapped a photon in between two mirrors. What happens to the photon after it loses all energy?
Heat
The way it works is some of the photons get absorbed completely while others get reflected, if you trap a photon in a reflecting box it would absorb the photon as it continues to hit the mirrors
Do you suppose Elon is re-watching this series?
Oh wow look at this Treasure Planet stuff
3:11 soyuuuuuuuuz nierushiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiii...
What a lovley CEO....acting like a five year old when hes told "no". I'm sure all his employees respect him /s
Kind of reminds me of another corporate big wig who fires his employees when he gets a cob up his butt over something...
The Russia we would like to happened and not the stupid country we know in our days.
A space race that should have been
would there be triangular sails in the future to travel from Mars back to Earth???
Solar sails are a real concept and are being demonstrated in orbit with probes right now, in 10-20 years with the right funding we could make something like this
No. Since the photons will always be radiating away from the Sun, it will always have an outward thrust, e.g. not towards Earth, and towards Jupiter, Saturn, etc.
Phoenix should have just countered with an electric/magnetic/plasma sail deployment, they're more powerful than solar sails.
In another quantum reality,...
