This is not the Mary Roach book in movie form

I originally saw this on Amazon prime and first thought this was related to the excellent Mary Roach book "Packing For Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void"

This is the total opposite of that book. How ridiculous that a group of people would read the book ALTERNATIVE 3 and decide it might actually be real? That's like somebody reading Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson and thinking that there's 100 people colonizing Mars right now.

This "documentary" weaves an evidence free conspiracy party with a barrage of talking heads. Btw, we can now teleport to Mars. Somebody tell Elon Musk.

Find something else to watch that is more entertaining... like The Martian maybe.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
