The adults are great, the kids are hard to watch

This film lays out the history of plans for human exploration of mars very well, especially Warner von Braun's involvement. However the brief interviews with kids attending space camp or hard to watch, while I appreciate their passion , That passion quickly turns to overconfidence, needlessly peppering their speech with technical jargon. That passion comes off more as cosplay unfortunately

Trivia
Throughout the film we see the teens carrying oranges with them. This is because the Space Camp outlawed them when a food fight erupted with oranges, but Raj, one of the teens, would bring in boxes of oranges for their enjoyment.
