The series is styled in the guise of a visual guidebook, tapping into the mystery and intrigue of space exploration while providing the sort of practical information required by anyone who might like to imagine actually going there. Think of it as a kind of handbook for our cosmic neighbourhood. Voyage To The Planets recaptures the sense of wonder and romance that was so palpable during the early years of the exploration of the Moon and the planets beyond.

With a renewed push to propel humans into the heavens and the last three decades of unmanned interplanetary missions behind us, we now have the legitimacy to look deeply into the solar system to explore what our planetary neighbours offer in terms of destinations for human exploration and discovery. As dawn breaks on a new age of manned space flight, Voyage To The Planets offers a ringside seat to the splendours of the solar system: an astronaut’s guide to whole new worlds of possibility.

I'm excited for this too and can't wait. My daughter's boyfriend met up with the producer of that doco recently. Also, they approached Iceman for video footage of Saturn. Perhaps someone can post a reminder of this closer to the date so none of us forget.

Looks interesting, not so much doco but pseudo doco style show. Thankfully it doesn't appear to be made in America so it should be quite good....not too much hyperbole!

Yes, a good show.:thumbsup: It was on TV a while back and I caught a few episodes of it. A very interesting look at what it may be like to actually travel to the planets.
