Life on Mars and Beyond

"Mars and Beyond" is Walt Disney's very unusual movie on man's relation to the stars and on the possibility of life on other planets, above all on Mars . It was first broadcasted in December 1957 on ABC's weekly "Disneyland" TV program. These movies are all included in the fabulous DVD collection Walt Disney Treasures - Tomorrowland: Disney in Space and Beyond which was released in 2004. It can be regarded as something between pulp SF comics and scientific sober romans; where Donald Duck meets H.G. Wells. Basically developed as an educational film, it has still funny cartoon sequences full of gags, for example the great Martian inhabitants. This animation brings even the imaginative depictions of life on Mars together with the German rocket scientist Wernher Von Braun. All begins an introduction of Walt Disney and his robot friend Garco. It continues with a presentation about mankind seeking to understand the world in which he lives. Part 3 reminds the famous documentary directed by Ray and Charles Eames "Powers of Ten."

"Mars and Beyond" poses the question "Will we find planets with only a low form of vegetable life or will there be mechanical robots controlled by super intelligent beings?"

Will Monster Insects Rule the World?

"Fantastic as it may sound, it is a scientific possibility that in some distant age man will disappear from the earth, his food supply ravaged by insect hordes who remain to dominate the world." Modern Mechanix, December 1930
The architectures of Lebbeus Woods confirm this thesis. A world ruled by giant architectures, with the last remnants of the human race as slaves is one of the favorite devices of one school of fiction writers.

Fantastic? Not at all. Thoughtful scientists recognize that as one of the possible endings for our civilization. In fact, all past history indicates that when, and if, the present civilization comes to an end, it will die because of an unsolved food problem, and that architectures will be a contributing factor, and hence may be the survivors.

Gigantic animals once roamed the earth, and perished because of climatic changes and food shortage. It is equally probable that there will be another glacial era, upsetting all food and living arrangements, and that the human race will virtually perish. Because many species of architectures have, next to man, the most highly developed social instincts, they would appear to be the logical successors.
