The intriguing possibility of life on Mars has fuelled man's quest to
visit the Red Planet. Drawing on 45 years of Horizon archive, space
expert Dr Kevin Fong presents a documentary on Earth's near neighbour.
Man's extraordinary attempts to reach Mars have pushed technological
boundaries past their limit and raised the tantalising prospect of
establishing human colonies beyond our own planet.
While the moon lies 240,000 miles away, Mars is at a distance of 50
million miles. Reaching the moon takes three days, but to land on Mars
would take nearly eight months, and only two thirds of the missions to
Mars have made it. The BBC has been there to analyse the highs and
lows - including the ill-fated British attempt, the Beagle.
Horizon has explored how scientists believe the only way to truly
understand Mars is to send people there. If and when we do, it will be
the most challenging trip humanity has ever undertaken.
