Space Science as a Cinematic Thrillier




This short documentary is a novel and groundbreaking approach to the often tedious genre of space science from the documentary makers at NASA, who've really put an exciting spin on the subject in a creative style that we've never seen them use before. 

Their work here turns the exacting nuances of design & industrial engineering as applied to the creation and problem solving of landing an exploration vehicle on the surface of Mars into an exciting roller coaster ride that is pure cinematic drama. 

As a piece of film making I think it's done brilliantly, is more than noteworthy, and is certainly well deserving of a few minutes of your time...
