There is confusion in the grandstands
here at the liftoff of Providence 1.
I'm being told that Mission Control
will be reviewing what...
[CLINKS]
[OVERLAPPING FOREIGN SPEAKING]
...And watching, as the crew of Providence II
make their attempt to be the first humans
to set foot on Mars.
Just over two years ago,
five astronauts were killed
during a catastrophic explosion...
And now 64 years since then,
we're going to another planet.
...Have completed their pad debris inspection
and close-out.
Mission Control reports
that the weather and engineering briefing
were in good shape.
The moon may have been a giant leap for humankind.
Going to Mars,
it's a leap that stretches the imagination.
Today, we begin our journey
to the rest of the solar system and beyond.
Today is a day without foreigners,
without nations.
For millennia, we have stared up at the heavens
and wondered what majesty and splendor
awaited us there in God's kingdom.
He has invited us to come see for ourselves,
not just in this afterlife, but in this...
The burning question we need to ask is,
will we find evidence of life?
We have certainly seen the signs.
They may have existed beyond, capable of existing,
but until we have proof...
Today is the day we unite as one people.
...we remain alone in the universe.
And in less than a year,
we will be the people of a second planet.
[OVERLAPPING DIALOGUE]
Pretty remarkable achievement
that they were able to get back to the starting point.
But I think the biggest thing however, from a thought is that
if something goes wrong with this launch
that it will be the end of any Mars program
for quite a long time.
For the safety and success of those brave souls
that venture into God's arms this afternoon,
let us pray.
