is coming up, the film looks at space travel hills from here from an astrophysicist who believes the 1st human to set foot on mas it's already been born. take you in for that. thanks for watching the . when i was 8 years old, i was already dreaming of the future as a singer and i wanted to become a hero of my family. the dream was within reach. she'd become a star in turkey overnight. a man took everything from with the help of his family and music. she rebuilt her life. and then her sister also became a family scholar by hatred to murder and the daughters. i am willing to work for change tax and also so i will sing my song. maybe my voice will be heard back to

bring to our seeking justice for the victims of finish size this week on dw, the the rod province in armenia. this is where the austrian space for him is simulating what life might one day be like on the red planet. mars the lawyer as the boss of it. so this is the newest ma simulation station 6 where a team of 6, i'm a little guster and also spend a month to be doing things that people could be doing on miles and 20 to 30 years. so this is kind of like a sneak peak into the future. the preview of the typical i'm an international team of analog astronauts is testing newly developed equipment.

their job is to find any possible faults and the devices that could prove fatal in space think is just, i think it's time for us humans to head to moss malls is the place of longing for us. cool. one guy that will even be cities on last, i'm sure they do, but so what we're doing here is like taking a very 1st baby steps katie that will teach us how to crawl this week. and one day you got it before the health of all the scientists are doing everything in their power to ensure humanities, journey to mars does not become a suicide mission. the . this is ins brooks commercial district where the austrian space forum is located . the the astro businesses cannot dilemma is leading

preparations for the private research institutions. next, tomorrow's mission statement. we'll take the elements off and go through each of the census, will check the cables and see if we can improve the routine base. so can you get home until for me? they are looking for ways to expand the space suit simulator with more functions. i'm using but it's basically like a wearable space. the space ship is able to measure a bunch of things. and starting with the astronaut ccg, i would have could also do simple things, for example, whereas can feed, drink, co, go to the bathrooms. if there's one thing you want to avoid, it's sneezing inside of your space suits. i thought it'd be a mess this up and that's one that's a bit of fabric inside. so you can rockdale knows on it to come. because when you're wearing a space suit, you called scratch, you'll notice it's little things like this, but on really high tech, but you wouldn't realize how much easier, like and make the lives of them. little gastroenterologist continue around to the feel times the scientists have been optimizing this space suit for over

10 years. now the suits are to be fitted with sensors, which on the upcoming analog mission will measure how stressful missions are for the astronaut swearing them. these a, how much success basic to me like to is one of a kind and all of you are the, it is by far the best simulation to we have to one, they'd be able to simulate the strain on people living. i'm working on mas hobbits, and they've been down and cut them ever since. again, i've looked through a telescope. as a child, he's been yearning to visit the stars on his path to fulfill that dream, he became an analog astronaut. that is an astronaut, who stays on earth to conduct research on space. travel begin to from the also index, the chance a good place we believe for the 1st humans will actually land on the read comments in the next 20 to 30. yes. in and you mean so this means as a 1st person to set foot on moss has already been bulky poor. and you could cite with the generation of ship built into the some of the who was this equipment piece

will enable the most complex and dangerous to an ever i've done, which will lead us to a new well movie every other day. and just i guess to annoying that feeling good. this is called an exoskeleton. it's meant to simulate the same atmosphere rec pressure. is that astronaut would experience on mars? right, i lift my hand to me. that's the neutral site technique. so my hand is lowering back down to so now when i make a fist, i need a bit more strength and i usually would, and this is how we are able to simulate the exact physiological stress problems. the display sink will be exposed to in moses atlas van. ever since billionaire is like a lawn mosque, started investing in rockets and exploiting space as a commercial market. the sector has been booming. europe has also seen the emergence of several start ups eager to join in on the new gold rush in space.

in the we are on our way to a former military base. stefan blue shank is the co founder and chief operating officer of rocket factory ox board. he's currently working on a rocket that will one day bring satellites into orbit to save the money for a certified test facility. they rented an old ammunition bunker. the rock in factory prides itself and its ability to improvise. what did you guys do with this company? was this company refills? yeah, it was retail, so the 1st one was the one on on the helicopter. inside the anointing. in guns, we sticking test. today, we're running a very important test. this test will show us the turbo pump has the performance that we need. if it does engines, the thought then the rock, it won't reach orbit,

but the key to make you to all the tree. that's cool. it's going to run it. an old helicopter engine is powering the pump. they hope that one day their rocket will under cut all competitors in terms of pricing to create an incredible sound, right? there's a risk of explosion. so everybody has to leave on the straps. steph, on can tell it the pump is performing the way it should simply by the sound. it makes the good test last day of the test went very well. why do they put in that was a good investment today we can gather data, people from the turbo pump will improve the engine will improve the we're getting closer to the point where we'll be able to reach orbits. and in order to feed the rocket factory osburg is based 30 kilometers away. stefan pollution co found that

it with a partner in 2018. when he was 33, they brought together 250 experts from 40 nations to develop a rocket that they hoped to launch in the summer. the business is financed with the venture capital of investors and dedicated to keeping costs flow the m. c. i think there are many technical components that are all quite unique, but what we see here is a beer tank just like you'd find in a brewery. it's a beer tank in outer space. he says he got the idea from an a i source otherwise, his engineers typically prefer using components from the automotive industry or made by a 3 d printer. before founding his company, stefan blue shank studied aerospace engineering in australia and spent 10 years

working in the field got his associates took. this is the heart of it all. the rocket engine. it's a miracle of modern day physics that this is even possible and i've seen the fact that space travel even works is an absolute miracle. nobody would have thought that was possible cause and many mathematicians said it wasn't even possible. god's laws wouldn't permit space travel, and then a little more than 60 years ago, for the russians 1st prove to us that we can indeed get satellites up into orbit even pets. and after that and space travel exploded to an office depot. and fedex to this is father was an engineer. he built helicopters for stefan, wanting to go higher and selected the top discipline in the field of engineering. nothing is more difficult than building rockets. most tech enthusiast degree. it is the noblest pursuits to view continents. i will reach elder space and then we'll

keep going. plenty of us, no matter how small the problem ability will find a way to venture forth to learn more, find to answer life big questions back and why do we exist? why are we here in these? yes stuff. i'm like spending his evenings tinkering at his work bench and his garage, the didn't he didn't talk to you. so i'm the one that i've seen that and when he does with my leave, i'm here every day until midnight. so that he is without it, my life would fall apart and without this work bench i wouldn't be able to lead my life. i really need to do things like this. and i want to invest as much time as possible, advancing something that's going to bring. he's convinced that new technologies will improve our life on earth. during the day he builds rockets,

and at night he revolutionize his car engines. the more have any i've been working on this engine for a long time. i've been building it for nearly 10 years now, but it sounds crazy. it's been and now i've reached the point where i could show for the 1st time that it actually works as well to it's an engine without any emissions, a combustion engine with rocket technology. our company built rockets like cars, ensure at home build cars like rockets. these are key and emissions free combustion engine making the seemingly impossible possible on earth as well as in the habits. stefan is sure that's human kind, will become an intergalactic species, which is not to expect them to be of course, it's crucial that humans manage to set up a base somewhere on a different planet. one that is constantly inhabited on that's the 1st step. this is whether mars or the moon. there are plenty of possible destination associated with mars. currently makes

a lot of sense seasons over 3000 kilometers away in the northern most reaches of sweden near the arctic circle. stefan blue shank is on his way to spaceport s range up here where there are more reindeer than people. the rocket factory is testing its rocket engines, under realistic conditions. the site leads in conducting really big tests here for over 3 years on the test. and so we do here are truly the biggest issue and, and the history of this test site. also the most dangerous that i've ever been run . you might europe's 1st mainland orbital space port is tucked away in sweden's sea forest. this is where rocket factory has rented a test field. they're here to examine

a helix engine developed an ox bore. today they're conducting a so called hot fire test, meaning the engine will be ignited just like during the regular launch and then tested for it's in durance. because consider, i'm most interested in what was done and how i want to see all the modifications made with my own eyes so that we can start today's test with a clear conscience. some tests can come on board. everything is pretty much ready for the test. i just have to run a few test sequences because it's very cold. i have kind of the good test for the document chief. so yeah, most today's test can't go wrong. it needs to be concluded successfully. but what we see here is the result of what we've built over 5 years of why we have engine number 2 and engine number 3. most of the 3rd engine we've ever built in the front positions system to that means. so if anything goes wrong, then it's 5 years of work down the drain,

stick him up. but if anything goes wrong today, i might as well get up there and take a nose, dive down to bed or not. the company relies on money from his investors. they are keen to see positive result soon. the toward the evening. the skies above s range space center are closed for air traffic. the helix engine has half a 1000000 horse power, and it's a hot fire test goes wrong. it could quickly become a rocket launch. the whole site is on high alert before starting the engine. everyone has to evacuate the premises. no, you can get it doesn't get any harder than this. you just tried to doing this in the middle of the night at minus 30 degrees celsius. that shows people to the phone, right? people will be feeling the effects of to day through the next week,

and it's not like it will all be over tomorrow. do you live in? i'm in you. well, some are still evacuating. others are performing final system checks. then something unexpected happens. okay, so we can keep going, though i know, right, as a regulator is hating like, but it's not enough. everyone's put it under pressure. now pressure is that for me yet? so, so let's disclose the final step before we could have gone another because of this . one of the cold is test days. we've ever experience the quick thing for today. tomorrow we'll get it right. all right, the welcome to the record business, the 5000 kilometers southwards, at the foot of mount auto, right and armenia near the town of arma,

of the mars mission of the austrian space, for them is about to commence visitors check in, have already been sent out to armenian staff members are holding down the fort and waving off on bidding, get the meanwhile, again, our dilemma is on his way to the test site of all places. why did he choose are mania the via visa that we know there are 2 logical structures. hands that basically have twins on the red planet. we call them g. a similar us. another reason we came here, it's in a beginner, the 5 to the carefully plan. tomorrow's mission isn't running smoothly just yet. the armenian team did not manage to build up all the infrastructure on time. what

are you doing? i mean, what are you doing? there is no internet connection, which is a problem. a german, austria and co board of students is struggling to communicate with the mars robot. a team from the glass university of technology and a team from the votes. boogie institute for computer science are racing to find solutions that and we need to set it's something reasonable, a gigabyte one gigabyte, it's not much really human. it should be right here. but all i can say, a real slogan, real step. if establishing communication lines is all ready this hard on earth, what will it be like in space? finally, the rover from god's university starts moving nothing, but we still have a long way to go to morris. but at our university, we value researching the basics. and that means it's also important to test individual components supplement tested. the rover they've developed is meant to explore unfamiliar terrain and as they spirit remotely from their habitat

it's no easy task. and if we were to take what we have and what we know now it's a mosque that would be very dangerous and probably not very productive from a scientific point to view people. that's why we need to spend time in these most like environments. and so we can learn how to best use of resources that it's very exciting. but for now, the research will have to wait a bit longer. habitat that the analog astronauts are supposed to move into a skill unfinished height. as long young head of the armenian space agency says there were unforeseeable delays. now everybody is helping out wherever they can get out. does not want to talk about the emissions. rocky start. yeah, after all, he'd planned everything down to the minute while some are dealing with the

unexpected circumstances. others are already in the middle of the for 8 to armenian crew members are hooking up the wireless land cables. i'm interested this past because i'm a drinking engineering and i all main goal is to have my own box and push industry. i think, glenville, or young and we are like still child. we always wants to become no store notes as we have the passion of exploring everything. and i think that's why we are so interested in. so i know it was. yeah. hike oslyn. yon also has big plans during the soviet era. armenia was involved in building the sputnik satellite, the 1st of its kind, and the 1st mars are over high cope's that this mission will bring fresh momentum to our manias, space industry to make a new be good to them. and when you look at the pictures,

so all the rooms have been bigger. yeah. there was the, i don't know why the link at the end of the day, the class university handed through over over to the space agency. it's a big success. one, the armenian students are excited to be a part of the back in sweden. here, temperatures have risen sharply from minus 30 degrees to minus 15 degrees celsius. it's almost like a spring saw with the freezing temperatures out of the way. the next test surely has to be successful. stuff under the shank is looking for the pressure regulator that was causing problems the day before. jonathan from new zealand is taken care of it to hit the man so no worries it

and. and normally this, this works well yesterday this one didn't work that time. then we went down about minus 15 minus. are we nathan for today? oh no, no, we're good. for some heating vague cable, this is a heating cable that we lined up this morning on. we'll use this heating cable to make sure the whole regulator stays warm on and that all the ceiling gaskets are working. really said that this is why we couldn't test it yesterday. stefan brings the newly insulated pressure regulator to the test site and even installs it himself. he's not leaving anything else up to chance. it looks good now. get ready to go. ready for this hot fire today, the whole rocket engine was constructed on a shoestring budget. if even one component fails, the whole thing could go up in flames and swim,

gets an absolutely unique experience to be able to contribute to a project like this one is there are very few jobs out there that come with such great motivation as being able to take part in a rocket launch and the people here are passionate about it. there's nothing more important to them. in the control room group leader whole been doing this and issuing final orders try to not leave the room. no, no questions. all right. as everyone full concentration, all the test has begun. the valves are open, the 64310, [000:00:00;00]

the suddenly, everything comes to a halt. another problem, the, the goal had been 160 seconds the so what i saw on the camera is this. the few of the sensors probably probably by the guess, i think that's why the fuel consensus of failed the after 20 seconds to control the report at the test space. travel is incredibly difficulties easy. everything is always at its limits. and that's why the engineers and we as a team, you have a path to test everything as often as possible to really push things to their

limits. avoiding the test was a security precaution. their monitoring system worked. despite all the forces working upon it, the test rig stayed on the ground. but the goal of 160 seconds of hot fire remains the above the polar lights shine down from the same heights that stefan blushing one day hopes to reach with one of his rockets the end, the business of outer space. moments of soaring highs and deep despair are never too far apart. working here require sheer, endless patience. after all, we didn't learn to fly in a day to get to take big want indeed our keep all the technology surrounding rockets is so insanely complicated. we work so close to the limits that each day we

basically approach the boundaries that god or the universe created. and then you realize that these lines can be crossed at 15, but you can get much further than you originally thought back to the armenian mountains. here the future has begun, even though the habitat still isn't ready to analog, astronauts are getting prepared for their 1st commission. once everything is constructed, the 6 crew members will spend 4 weeks isolated in these rooms. they'll have to wear a space suit any time they exit the habitat part of the day, we're just going to explore the habitat surroundings and see what walking on the surface is like. we'll take some pictures and drive around with the quads. so we can see how will that work. it will be a short 1st test,

as those will qualify for tests. even though they may never reach outer space themselves, they still feel like part of the greater mission, the been the, the boss, a 5, the time the real miles mission is launched. this one and i'll probably already be retired. i might be able to say, oh look, i made those screws, you can see the my young colleagues will be in the middle of that career on the kitchen. they've already built a bridge into the future. i think many of my colleagues feel privileged to have been able to contribute to the okay. i completed the armenia has already filled out over a 1000000 euros for the mars mission. and austria has paid a little under a 1000000. this scene gives a glimpse of just how fascinated human kind is by outer space. the guests here can barely contain their excitement as these 2 silver beings take their 1st steps. in

this strange new world, the, the,

the eco india. almost a good one is one of the longer those types here, there's no for 5, and it's very, very difficult to navigate in a city of 12000000 cars daily have for diamonds. project 3 of the 4 steps is to see some system and risk free access to this show us how they're making in the biggest city, more walkable eco india. in 15 minutes on the w, a mountain is increasing every year. so many gone up watching on black silver star
