New Mini-Series, Documentary Target the Red Planet

The first humans to explore Mars will obviously face many challenges, some of which may be highlighted by The Discovery Channel Canada during the airing of their program, "Race to Mars" that follows the efforts of six spaceflyers on a 600-day mission to reach mars and hunt for life before China's unmanned probes."This will be the definitive story of the human mission to Mars," said Paul Lewis, president and general manager for Discovery Channel Canada, in a statement. A six-part documentary, "Mars Rising", will follow the "Race to Mars" in order to present an in-depth look at the hurdles facing a human expedition to Mars. The goal of these shows are "to reignite excitement in the Space Age and inspire a whole new generation to look outward towards the planets," Lewis said.
