Then you go around the west-facing side of the building and look for a door with a "Mars Movie Night" flyer on it. Here's what to expect inside the event! Also, usually any scientists who are in attendance will be asked to comment on the relevant science facts to the content we are watching.

THE LAST DAYS ON MARS (2013)

"On the last day of the first manned mission to Mars, a crew member of Tantalus Base believes he has made an astounding discovery - fossilized evidence of bacterial life. Unwilling to let the relief crew claim all the glory, he disobeys orders to pack up and goes out on an unauthorized expedition to collect further samples. But a routine excavation turns to disaster when the porous ground collapses, and he falls into a deep crevice and near certain death. His devastated colleagues attempt to recover his body. However, when another vanishes they start to suspect that the life-form they have discovered is not yet dead. As the group begins to fall apart it seems their only hope is the imminent arrival of the relief ship Aurora."
