New TV series “Race to Mars”

The Discovery Channel Canada is starting a miniseries that involves six spaceflyers on a 600-day mission to Mars. Their mission is to get to Mars and search for life before China’s unmanned probes do. The writers of this miniseries are trying to reignite excitement in the Space Age and want to inspire a new generation to look outward towards the planets. I’m not sure if the U.S. is getting this miniseries, but it sure sounds interesting!
