剧情介绍
艾美奖最佳制作人得主马克·戴维斯将镜头转向位于加利福尼亚的喷气推进实验室（JPL）的科学团队，记录下他们将美国宇航局（NASA）的新一代火星车“好奇”号从设计板开始，挪上发射架，并最终登陆火星表面的旅程。然而将飞行器送上一段穿越太阳系3亿5千4百万英里的旅程并在其以时速1万3千英里抵达时将其制动绝非易事。
Emmy-winning producer/director Mark Davis turns the cameras on the team at California's Jet Propulsion Laboratory as they shepherd NASA's new Mars rover, the Curiosity, from the drawing board to the launch pad, and ultimately to the Martian surface. But sending a craft on a 354-million-mile journey across the solar system and having it hit the brakes from 13,000 miles per hour when it gets there is no piece of cake.
