Mars: The Secret Science is a documentary science television series narrated by David O'Brien which the Science Channel broadcast in 2016 and 2018.

Content[edit]

Mars: The Secret Science looks at how scientists and modern explorers are working to get humans to Mars. The series both explores Mars and chronicles how the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is building rockets and spacecraft to carry astronauts there and how technology visionaries are designing Martian colonies. The series also looks at issues such as the design of spacesuits for use on Mars and of the vehicles humans will need for transportation there.[1][2]

In 2018, the Science Channel broadcast specials under the title Mars: The Secret Science, some of which consisted entirely of segments broadcast previously in episodes of Mars: The Secret Science, How the Universe Works, The Planets and Beyond, or Strip the Cosmos .
