Rome, October 1, 2015 – The news on the Red Planet , new space missions with Italy in the foreground and the latest film Ridley Scott , he returned to the great director. That menu. The evening ‘space’ was scheduled for a few days, but fate would have it coincide dramatically with the news of presence of streams of salt water on Mars ! Thus, a particular event like the one already held by 20th Century Fox in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency, ASI Auditorium of Rome, was charged with additional meanings.
It starts with the panel discussion ‘The Man On Mars’ moderated by journalist Antonio Polito, who participated Samantha Cristoforetti , and ESA astronaut Captain Air Force pilot, who stars in FUTURA, the second long-duration mission on the International Space Station ASI. Then, the Italian premiere of the highly anticipated new film by Ridley Scott, ‘The survivor – The Martian’ cinema from October 1. The film is based on the novel “The man from Mars” by Andy Weir and starring Matt Damon as an astronaut abandoned on Mars.
“I read the book and the ‘ I loved very much “- confesses Cristoforetti, the more contention for photos and statements, which tries not to spoil. So how will the other guests, because someone who has already read those pages adventurous there. The event is of particular importance given that, in January 2016, will leave the European mission EXOMARS, in which Italy plays a leading role. Main objective of the mission will search for traces of past and present life on Mars, the geochemical characterization of the planet, the knowledge of the Martian environment and its geophysical aspects and the identification of possible risks for future human missions. “If you are ready? Sure. I’ll go to Mars. And how!” – Declares convinced Astro Samantha, as they call it on Twitter, in front of his boss Roberto Battiston, president of ASI
“We are getting excellent results, until recently considered incredible. A European probe landed on a moon of Saturn. Episode resounding” – explain the leaders of the agency, to the table. Who are not skeptical about the effectiveness of the great cinema of attracting more and more curious in this kind of research, “Stanley Kubrick, the growing popularity of Samantha, Apollo 13, Armageddon. Everything can serve. When Top Gun came out, there was a ‘ surge of young people who wanted to enroll in space engineering. “
You have to be people outside the norm? “No, but I have a tremendous passion is essential. Otherwise, do not end the way.” Cristoforetti had to develop special talents, of which he speaks with enthusiasm: “The resilience in the face of adversity is one of the psychological traits that seeks to cultivate in us, through special tests of survival. A strong resilience, given the trauma to which we are subjected. Of course, in the middle there is the Loneliness. A contrast which is returning home after 200 days past to have direct contact with 5 people not more – admits laughing – but the part a space mission is something so extraordinary in every point of view, physical, psychological or professional, who repays you for everything. ” “EXOMARS will be a very important mission – says President Asi – We will use a drill that is the pinnacle of technological experimentation aimed at achieving a great find. You probably will have a diamond”
THE MARTIAN – Here it is, finally, The Martian . The film on the piece. “What it is to give what the movie has to give: an inspiration for the future” – said the president of Fox 20th Ital We are ready. We know that anything with Ridley Scott is left to chance. Great production, incredible means to draw upon, star, his hand at the helm. From the first sequences, perfect, leading the viewer into the Martian surface roughness (It was used a green screen amplitude of 2,000 square meters), sense the work important. But what makes Survivor – The Martian movie to see is the optimism, the breath of the enterprise unprecedented Mark Watney (Matt Damon), and the hope that can inspire in generations of astronauts who hope to land on the Red Planet . The guy is tough. Accidentally broke off from the rest of the companions of Ares III, during a dust storm, and hit an antenna, go to derivasu the hostile terrain, while captain Lewis (Jessica Chastain) is forced to board the ship with the crew.
There is but resigned to the loss of Mark. NASA first of all, then the media, spread the news of his death. But he’s up there in the cosmos, and fight with us. It is appropriate to say! Ironic, shameless, animated by a struggle for survival that is a real injection of will for all, fighting day after day for his stay on Mars, with the tools at his disposal: a large head, muscles – Damon will be a nice surprise even for women – gifts from aerospace strategist, and soul as a soldier. Meanwhile, down here, we will try all out to bring him home. The writer Andy Weir, on his debut, gave the foundation the British filmmaker to build on a feature film engaging, optimistic, confident about the potential of man. Ridley was too much fun doing it. Not that it’s a sin, indeed! We only hope that, galvanized by the success of the implementation, do not confuse the filming – even if carried out in difficult conditions – with the complexity of real space mission.
