"Mars."

I watched it. I thought it was pretty good - modern day science and impetus with future fiction.

I'll continue to watch.

I watched the first 2 episodes. I am loving it. I'm a nerd though.

I've DL'd the episodes, but haven't watched them yet. The Science channel had stuff like this a decade ago. It seems to have taken Robert Zubrins idea and turned it into a series.

I stopped watching after #2. Not what I thought it would be.
