	Flight to Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flight to Mars was a 72-minute 1951 Cinecolor science fiction film, written for the screen by Arthur Strawn.
		They are anatomically human, and are suspicious of the earthmen's motives, with the majority of the governing body finally deciding to keep the earthmen prisoner.
		Flight to Mars as a Burning Man Theme Camp: Flight to Mars is a Seattle based arts organization, and a theme camp that participates at Burning Man every year since 2001.

	DVD Savant Review: Flight to Mars
		The first Mars rocket (called Rocket M.A.R.S.) is launched sucessfully, but crashlands on the red planet after being damaged in a meteor shower.
		At 72 minutes, Flight to Mars is about five minutes shorter than Virginia Huston's crying fit when she finds out Arthur Franz has fallen for top-billed Marguerite Chapman, who plays a Martian with the best legs ever seen.
		As dull as Mars may be, even worse is the Earthlings' non-reaction to being confronted by men in colorcoded space suits 30 seconds after touching down.

	Space FAQ 08/13 - Planetary Probe History
		MARINER 4, the sister probe to MARINER 3, did reach Mars in 1965 and took the first close-up images of the Martian surface (22 in all) as it flew by the planet.
		One thing scientists learned was that Mars' sky was pinkish in color, not dark blue as they originally thought (the sky is pink due to sunlight reflecting off the reddish dust particles in the thin atmosphere).
		MARS 4 - Attempt at orbiting Mars in 1974, braking rockets failed to fire, probe went on into solar orbit.

	Flight to Mars: the Return Trip
		For flying back from Mars to Earth the Hohmann ellipse can also be used, but again, the planets need to be positioned just right at the time of launch.
		Since Earth and Mars constantly change their relative position, it stands to reason that if we sufficiently delay the return trip, Earth will move from position (2) relative to Mars to position (3), at which time the return trip can begin.
		Indeed, when Earth is closest to Mars and overtaking it, Mars will seem (for a while) to be moving backwards among the stars.

	Flight to Mars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Flight to Mars is typically goofy 50s sci-fi fodder, with enough unintentional howlers to please any fan of the genre: for example, at their first meeting, Ikron says, “As you know we haven’t been able to build a ship that has reached the earth”...
		On their way to Mars, when they lost radio contact with the earth, the crew uses the pre-ordained method of sending reports back in a cylinder that they pop in a pneumatic tube -- sort of like the way department stores handled money in the 50s.
		Flight to Mars was filmed using the 2-strip “Cinecolor” process (which was also used for Bela Lugosi’s notorious Scared to Death).

	Flight to Mars: How Long? And along what path?
		As an approximation assume that the orbits of Earth and Mars are both circles in the same plane, centered on the Sun.
		Those unfamiliar with orbits might think that the best way to reach Mars from Earth is to wait until the two planets are closest to each other (as in the drawing here), then aim the rocket towards Mars and fire away.
		Mars should be in such a position relative to Earth at the time of launch, that it reaches point A at the same time as the spaceship does.

		And it is here in Moscow, in a research hangar at the end of this path behind the IMBP, that one finds the key to any successful flight to Mars: three battered, stainless steel capsules linked by cables and corrugated metal pipes.
		This month the Guardian was the first foreign media outlet to explore the pressurised capsules, built in 1970, as they are updated in preparation for the record-breaking Mars flight simulation.
		Towards the end of the Mars leg, communication between ship and controllers would be delayed 20 minutes or more, says Viktor Baranov, deputy director of IMBP, putting the emphasis of responsibility on the crew.

		This issue describes the MARS-96 robotic spacecraft scientific mission to Mars prepared according to the Federal Program of Space Exploration developed by the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian Space Agency.
		The Mars 96 spacecraft was launched from Baikonur on 16 November 1996.
		The spacecraft was not inserted into the interplanetary trajectory to Mars due to a malfunction in the Block-D (the third stage of the rocket) and during the third revolution around the Earth the spacecraft reentered the Earth's atmosphere and fell into the Pacific Ocean.

		Manhandling the enormous Mars through the turbulent convective air currents caused by the fire, Killin slows the airplane to 120 knots and lines up for a downhill run at 150 feet above the ground.
		Designed as a long-range "flying dreadnought" for the U.S. Navy, the big, lumbering Mars was deemed easy prey for enemy fighters and was consequently converted into a cargo and troop-transport craft.
		In 1961, the Mars flying boats began firefighting, but they had an inauspicious start: the Marianas was lost that year when it flew into a ridge, killing all four crew.

		Mars Society president Robert Zubrin introduced Dr. Horowitz, laying out the challenge before NASA of transitioning as rapidly as possible from the old space policy based upon Shuttle and ISS operations to the new policy dedicated to human exploration of the Moon and Mars.
		Both the Mars Society and the NSS agreed that the event was a great success, and look forward to similar collaboration in the future.
		As a result of successful fundraising activity by the Mars Society UK, funds have been raised allowing the transportation of the station to England, where it will be placed on exhibit throughout the winter at the scientific centre in Swindon.

		FLIGHT TO MARS is largely an account of the inception and development of the Beagle 2 Mars Lander by its scientist-designer Colin Pillinger.
		After NASA in 1996 speculated on the discovery of Martian microfossils and revealed that water percolated through the Martian substructure relatively recently, he and his colleagues set out to design a more compact and efficient vehicle for exploring the surface.
		Mars cooled earlier than the earth and it is conceivable that the elements of life traveled from there to earth.

		Flight To Mars had the added bonus of being in colour, but both were enjoyable and at times humorous, due in no small part to the 1950s concepts of space and life on other planets.
		The entire mission was kept from the general public in its early stages, and it caused a lot of concern when the U.S. Military released a world wide press release informing the general public of a propelled flight of such magnitude.
		Presented in an aspect ratio of 1:33.1, we have a picture of a drive-in theatre with the trailers and menu choices shown as a projection on the drive-in's screen.

		Flight to Mars was rushed out by Monogram to capitalize on the success of Destination Moon, and really has no grounding in serious science fiction.
		Flight to Mars gets off to a decent start, by 50's sci-fi movie standards, as a group of guys and the token gal set off for an ambitious exploration of the Red Planet.
		Admittedly, not much was known about real space travel in 1951, but much of the dialogue hopelessly dates Flight to Mars (Favorite bit: The Earth gal, upon seeing how the Martians live, asks a Martian female to take her to the kitchen).

	Flight To Mars - Review - Escapist fun!
		FLIGHT TO MARS was made in the wake of DESTINATION MOON and ROCKETSHIP X-M, both of which were released in the previous year.
		This was a low-budget rip-off, featuring a group of scientists, a newspaperman, and a token girl (the ‘assistant’ to the leading scientist) who crash-land on Mars.
		I watched it recently with my brother and he couldn’t help but comment on the wooden acting, nonsensical plot, and awful special effects, but to me these are some of the things which make this kind of movie fun to watch.
