Putting the 'Art' in Artemis
Mission to Mars: A visualization to the beginning of our journey to the red planet, Mars.
Summary
A high-quality video that highlights mankind's achievements in space as well as a visualization of our future in space, this time focusing on our journey to the red planet. Using NASA data such as images and audio recordings from the most historical moments in space exploration, this video aims to imagine, inform, and inspire.
How I Addressed This Challenge
I made a video to inform and inspire the audience of the next big leap for mankind: the journey to the red planet. By highlighting NASA's biggest achievements in space exploration, I aimed to create a emotional response by incorporating NASA most historical images and famous audio recordings and compiled it all together. It's important because it's a creative vision that reminds the audience of the past, the present, and the future in space. With this video, I hope to a global audience who are willing to take the next big leap. To work together, create, imagine, innovate, I hope to be able to communicate to our audience of the the next chapter in space exploration and that the future that we imagined is now here because we are ready to go to Mars.
How I Developed This Project
What inspired me to choose this challenge was that the was opportunity to communicate to an audience about what I find most interesting: the red planet. I took this challenge and my interest in Mars and combined them together to form a meaningful video that can be shown to inspire others who are just as curious about Mars like myself. My approach was to gather data such as images, videos, and voice recordings relating to this topic from the NASA Image Gallery and other resources that NASA provided. After that, I wrote a script that resonated with the challenge at hand, and places the data in order to make the video flow. I then used 2 video editing tools, Quik and iMovie to edit and put final touches on the video. One problem that I faced was the downloading of ultra-high definition videos as it took a long time to download so that I would be able to place them in my video. Due to that, I was not able any selected videos in the project. An achievement was the successful flow of images and the script that flowed well together at the very end.
How I Used Space Agency Data in This Project
I directly used data from NASA as it was the main source of my video. I used images and voice recording from NASA Archives as well as NASA Image Galleries and Mission Galleries.

Script for the video:
That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. (audio)
We are achievers, goal-setters, thinkers and problem-solvers. We have achieved what was once thought impossible. Now, it’s time to do it again.
We are human. And we have just one job: to explore.
To explore the unknown, to do the impossible, to create the nonexistent.
It is our nature to venture distant lands and discover the undiscovered.
Now, it's time to find a new home away from home. And this may be the toughest one yet. But, it’s time to get ready and take the next big leap.
This time, it is for the red planet, Mars.
Rovers. Space Shuttles. Satellites. Engineers. Scientists. Designers. Astronauts. Teachers. Doctors. Farmers. Lawyers. Writers. Singers. Actors. Comedians. Every single one of us.
Mars needs us all. And we need each other.
Our paths will cross with Mars sometime soon, and for that we have to innovate, create, imagine, set goals, work hard, and work together. And we will. Because just like we are waiting for the next big leap, so is Mars.
Mars is for all, and all is for Mars. Let’s do this together.
