UK UMSF'ers, remember to pick up a set of free anaglyph glasses from Sainsburys... plus a couple of pairs for the kids, one for the cat, don't forget aunty and uncle...
 The Horizon best-of clips were patchy - the Viking era stuff was great (Gentry Lee!) but there was nothing on Pathfinder or Phoenix, and hardly a thing on MER, which fits my perception of Horizon's slide down the dumb-hole in the last 10-15 years quite well. -------------------- --

I've often wondered why we haven't had any Horizon type documentary of the MER rovers here in the UK, but judging by this appalling program i'm almost relieved we haven't. You just know 80% of it would be taken up with the Flash anomaly right at the start of Spirits mission.
And weird they didnt talk about Pathfinder/Sojourner, MGS, Mars Express, Spirit/Opportunity/ MRO and Phoenix. Just seemed to concentrate on mission failures post VIking. |

The Sky at Night Mars special shown just a bit later was the programme to watch for a more complete Mars exploration overview. To my mind there would have been no point in the BBC doing essentially the same thing with the Horizon programme.

QUOTE (Sunspot @ Nov 16 2009, 04:40 AM)  You just know 80% of it would be taken up with the Flash anomaly right at the start of Spirits mission. There's a reason the feature film drama directed by Ron Howard was Apollo 13 and not Apollo 17. Engineering failure and redemption is apparently more engaging than geology. Pity, because a lot has to go right for that geology. |
