A six-part documentary "Mars Rising," narrated by veteran space actor William Shatner, aired its first episode tonight, October 7th, 2007. This documentary is an in-depth look at the inherent hurdles facing a human expedition to Mars. Paul Lewis, president and general manager for Discovery Channel Canada, said, "With this unprecedented multi-platform event, our mission is to reignite excitement in the Space Age and inspire a whole new generation to look outward towards the planets." The documentary is also companioned by a book and a multimedia web site that further investigate the issues raised on the T.V. show. "Mars Rising" is a follow-up documentary to a Discovery Channel mini-series called "Race to Mars," which first aired on September 23rd, but has since ended.
