He Thinks He’s In Spaceship To Mars, But After 51 Years He Realizes He’s Still on Earth 

This is the classic example of taking a good idea for a story, but not knowing where to stop adding so much crap to it that you ruin everything.

Can we all just seriously take a moment to agree that Mystery Recapped is probably the best recap channel ever out there?

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help laughing when he said "Instead freezing in the vacuum of space... he lands on an inflated mattress" 🤣😅

I seriously thought this was a movie and I was overwhelmed with all the twists and turns. Now it sounds amazing.

Dude, you're the best thing that happened to this channel. That sarcastic humour brings us back all the time.

I actually watched this when it came out, I instantly knew that they were still on earth because there's no way that the US government of the 1960s would send african americans on such a mission.

If I thought I was in space heading towards Mars. Then I found out that I wasted half of my life in a simulation. I’d be so pissed and heads would literally roll

Secret passage on the fake beach. Haha. The one place on the entire ship where people might play in the sand and discover it.

“If you guys don’t say who killed Lorelei I will *TURN THIS ROCKET AROUND!* “

This show is really underrated, it had a really unique plot and I wish it had a second season.

This show was actually really good and a fun watch, I wish it got a second season. People seem to think this was a movie, no it was a mini-series.

Little did they know that the Cuban Missile Crisis managed to be resolved without nuclear war, and those onboard the Generation Ship didn't get the news

this was a really neat show, pretty annoyed when it got cancelled and left on a cliffhanger

I can't believe it's already 8 years this was on TV. Should've had a 2nd season, imo.

Thank you for making sense of this movie. Your insightful narration is really superior to some other recap channels where the captions are written by people who have English as a second language and don't always interpret American English as well as you do.

Holy the tech in 60s was so advanced!!! 😂

The whole point was that they were trying to develop this power as a means of teleportation to other planetrs but the show got cancelled and left us with a huge cliffhanger ending.

actually, fun little fact: you dont freeze to death in space, you suffocate, reason being the lack of air and any medium for you to lose heat to, so it takes upwards of 30 minute to an hour to freeze in the vacuum of space from thermal radiation, assuming you are not in direct sunlight, in case of being in direct sunlight, it depends on distance from the sun, at earth orbit, direct sunlight heats surfaces up to 120 degrees celcius (248 merica units) so whatever side of you is facing the sun is experiencing 120 C, where the other side of you, which is in the shade, experience over -100 C, but dont worry, you will suffocate and die within seconds as all the air in your lungues, stomach and intestines is forcefully "sucked" out of you by the vacuume of space so you'll never live long enough to experience these temperatures, as you lose conciousness you'll feel your saliva and moisture on your eyes boil away, if theres any pee in your bladder it will be forced out and instantly start boiling and evaporate, oh, and that gas in your intestines? yeah... thats not the only thing being forced out of you, so, space... while fast, not a very fun place to die in. and teleported to another planet? so he dead then, the odds of there being a planet with just the right atmospheric composition for human life is obsenely low, and the odds just become lower when you take microbes and other factors into account.

This film calls for the suspension of more levels of disbelief than can possibly exist.

Me realizing my life with a better family was a fake one and all of it was just a dream. So I'm stuck in a nightmare

Could you imagine somewhat likewise happening in area51 ?

This plot went way crazier than I expected

That is literally Tim Robbins as his body was falling back towards the planet in the movie Mission to Mars😂

I just love how you always keep us entertained 🥰 Best recaps

I love how mystery recapped is Abel to show us these movie that we never even know existed

Your channel is the best recap channel. Great voice, I love your witty humor that is injected throught the vids. Keep it up, thank you!

600 volunteers and this project is a secret?? How possible?😂😂

My dude why you using a picture from Mission to Mars which actually was a decent movie isn't this false advertising? Why not use a picture from the actual movie your talking about

I will never get over how calming Adams voice is....

Mystery recap never fails to impress me

The ethics of such an experiment irl would be beyond unacceptable 😅

Truman Show in Space, with a sprinkle of the Cold War and Stepford Wives.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="630">10:30</a> my brain goes from "why would they launch from earth with glass" to "how would they still have any glass cups after 50 years?"

Your summary perfectly captured the essence of the 'Ascension' series and provided a compelling overview of the plot. Your attention to detail and creative speculation about a second season plot are impressive. Thank you for delivering such an insightful summary!

imagine bieng that guy being teleported to an unknown world 😂😂

Woah this must be what it feels like in among us but in real life😳

Too bad there wasn't another season this was a good show

they shoulda known that they cant make it to proxima centauri in 100 years. it takes a while to make it using LIGHT SPEED, and the fastest we've ever gone is 70 kilometers per second

i can listen to this while doing my homework

I love being able to watch 5 movies in 1 hour

Don’t mean to be that guy but a trip to Mars would take like 9 months

Never has a series had me so anticipating it, so immediately invested, only to have all that dissipate with the big reveal, then rub salt in the wound with the second twist.

I really love mystery recaps they make me imagine things that don't exist they are existing I love his recaps they are best ever🥳🥳

I saw this show it was really good! Especially when it came out the ship never left earth.

“Sheesh” wasn’t expecting that.😭

Fallout 5 💀

Krueger must have some really bad luck. Her and the other guy escape into a normal city only to run into another person whose part of the organization running this whole secret project to begin with. What are the odds of that occurring?

51 years is two generations? Seems like the very upper bounds. It could also be three if you have a kid at 17.

Hi bro love your videos

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="93">1:33</a> Harris actually looks like Mulley with a different haircut

Why did you use a mission to Mars screenshot lol

If you could survive on a ship like this for decades then there would be no need to go to another planet. You just make the ship your home and expand it via minie astroids when needed.

Who's the man behind the slaughter?*it's probably that William Guy*

They don’t need to look outside in space the whole time?

The soundtrack/score for Mission to Mars is amazing

The movie started well. Expected the Earth's technology to ascend to godhood and, when the supposed ship would arrive, for it to turn out that the humans, who stayed on Earth, got there first and the colony was already established and is thriving. Was disappointed with how weird they handled this version of the plot: one man would not have been able to do sht, because on a project like this there are tons of surveillance, protocols and strict rules.

I loved this show, so sad it didn’t continue

The scariest part about a murder happening in a isolated space... Has to be the instant realization that you cannot trust anyone. It's true that revenge doesn't solve anything because the first thing I would have thought of if I thought there was a murderer on my spaceship is to crash the spaceship.

Why did they use a screen cap from Mission To Mars?

I remember watching this and thinking it was great! Sad it never got a 2nd season

I agree I love his voice, he's funny as hell with his little add inns they make me lauph and he's also well read and his voice is relaxing And understanding, I only watch his now.

I want more! This show looked really good.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="644">10:44</a> I always enjoy your small bits of humor amidst the 'plain' narration xD

So... Do they have other similations running that test ingenuity of humans to build, terraform and thrive in a barren hostile enviroment? Because this sounds all too easy to cheat themselves out of, if ever any supplies or parts run out, be sabotaged or just be a subject to wear and tear.

Well, at least Gold could breath wherever he was 😂

Even during a space mission Ppl are divided into poor and rich

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="645">10:45</a> I cant, its too much to handle XD

I think it would take the ship to go at 26 million mph to do this

I’m gonna guess that they don’t turn back to earth, because 51 is exactly 1 year over 50, and they might say something like “It will take longer to turn back then go to the destination”. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="268">4:28</a>

The beginning of this movie reminded me of John F. Kennedy before his assassination, and this movie includes a futuristic spaceship project, even though it's year is 1963.

It's sad that there really wasn't any conclusion to this story. I wonder if the screenwriter even had an ending planned.

Vault tec with more funding

Thanks for taking the time to do all of these videos, keep them coming

I love mystery recaps comments he says some hilarious things to sum up a situation lol almost always out of nowhere in that dead pan voice so great.

Is it just me or is this the exact same concept of another movie that mystery recapped??

This film is basically the film version of Among Us, but it is before Among Us.

Being teleported to an unknown planet? 😭

Only the people who didn't come from tiktok are worthy of liking this 🏆

I subscribed!!!! Ive watched enough that now i really enjoy what you do and the time you save me! I work so much that this sums up what could take 2hrs

This is where I thought Silo was going.

If you like this, I recommend the book "Wool" by Hugh Howey. Its in my top 10 sci-fi books. There's been talk for years of a movie but not sure where its at. I also think Wool is important because Hugh self published it and its considered to be a great work.

Introducing Psychic powers randomly just completely killed my interest

People don't freeze instantly when exposed to the vacuum of space.

So let me get this straight... The "crewmates" think that Stokes is "sus" and that he "murdered" somebody and also that he "sabotaged" water treatment, making him an "imposter" so they "eject" him from the "spaceship"? Doesnt that remind you of a certain hit game?

The lithium bit was a bit too silly even for this.

This movie is kinda advance version of among us

This was a great special on SYFY. Shame the never continued it.

finally someone who dissects movies in my mind set.

This sounded good up until the super powers, and teleporting to a random planet. They really shit the bed towards the end.

Bro this guy is my favorite recapped he is just amazing

Is the main picture for this video not a still from Mission to Mars? Im pretty sure thats Tim Robbins lol

The tone change and the "shee" caught me so off guard. I actually cant stop loving how this guy has a energy of a bored newscaster but can switch it to a happy teenager in a instant.

Why does bro sound like he’s trying not to laugh on every word ☠️🏴‍☠️💀

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="414">6:54</a> “back on Earth” is crazy

why would you start a new civilization with classism built in from the start? this is why aliens will never contact us. lol

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="680">11:20</a> How does she dream of the twin towers when she's clearly less then 15 years old and the spaceship has been "in space" for the last 51 years? makes no sense to me. She would know that twin towers exist unless she has seen photos of them?

how did they not realize that the star have remained in the same position after living on the ship for half a century?

So in 51 years, they never had to send anyone out for external ship repair? Like wouldn't it be suspicious if people they send outside never come back?

glad I didn't see this one in theater and sorry I watch this recap!

Ya'll really gonna leave us on that cliffhanger?
