Synopsis
Aging science club builds Mars ship using wife's Ethereal Current theory to explore possible Martian civilization.
The Scientific Boys Club, now 50 years strong, embarks on their most ambitious project yet: constructing a vessel to sail to Mars using the revolutionary "Ethereal Current" theory. This groundbreaking concept, developed by a club member's wife, proposes that the universe is permeated with Ethereal energy that can be harnessed for interplanetary travel. Their mission: to investigate the mysterious channels on Mars that some believe may hold evidence of ancient civilizations. What begins as a nostalgic adventure for these aging dreamers becomes a journey that will challenge everything they thought they knew about space, science, and the nature of discovery itself. (Source: ANN - edited for spoilers)
The now 50 year old Scientific Boys Club decides to built a ship that sails to Mars on the "Ethereal Current" - a thesis of the wife of a club member which claims that the universe is flooded with Ethereal energy. On this stream they travel to Mars in order to prove an old theory about channels on Mars built by Martians, but there is no life. Many years later, when both theories are considered to be nonsense, a Mars expedition discovers a stone with the inscription "Scientific Boys Club 1954". (Source: ANN)
