Interesting program, nothing any keen astronomer wouldnt already know. Why do they always go on about the six month trip and the problems that crew may face? Why dont they just talk to the navy about submaines? I know that they will not be closed up for six mounths but there have been some impresive durations set and what about the ISS or MIR space stations?

Mucked up the copying, finally got to watch it online, enjoyed it very much, not too over dramatic.

It was the single best documentary about the solar system YET!!! Isn't the person who discovered the craters on Jupiter an IIS member? Interesting about Io. I think it was the march SAS meeting when they had an astrophysicist talking about Io and Jupiter's Gravity tides.

Really enjoyed the Jupiter episode.
Which moon would everyone choose to visit? I definitely would like a look at Europa. Sure hope they get a probe under that ice before I kick the bucket, but I won't be holding my breath. 
Can't wait to see Saturn next week!

This is quite a good documentary.
But what I find annoying is the camera keeps showing 1 or 2 people standing with a remote in their hand looking at screens. Then the camera zooms onto their faces, and then moves in a circle around their head.
What exactly is the point of this? Meaningless filler material?

Great show, good to see an IIS member. I was surprised with the bubble blowing simulation, that was fascinating. I always remember the colours swirling but never thought about Jupiter when i was a kid.

I'm really enjoying this - it's not sensationalising the information. which is great because some of that stuff, especially in the saturn episode, has been jawdropping enough when plainly stated.
I really like the music as well. such a good change from the clichéd bleeps and bloops I was expecting.

The episode on Saturn was fantastic, I'm really jealous of the people who will be born in the future and will actually travel there to see the spectacle of the rings and geysers for real.
The Uranus and Neptune episode looks equally enthralling.
Cheers
