A new documentary has come to us from the science channel called Mars Rising. It is a six part documentary series in which they interview over 300 scientists from numerous countries. Mars Rising offers a view into the challenges, obstacles, fears, and successes of a Mars mission. Subjects include spaceship design, possible trajectories, rocket fuel, finding new life forms, new thoughts on astronaut selection and training, space suit engineering, medical training for deep space, blasting through Mars’ atmosphere, life support systems and robotics. This show is obviously a very good show to watch for this class because it directly deals with Mars Exploration. I'd recommend checking it out on Tuesday nights at 9!
