Nat Geo - Mars special tonight
Hey guys.
Those with Foxtel need to be glued to National Geographic tonight at 7:30pm - they have a special about Mars, including images and analysis of the images taken from the 2 rovers that are there right now.
It's a must-see for us astro-nerds!

Me too
But I don't see how going out more would have taught me that there are DVD recorders.

that wasn't the point Ken, it would mean that you wouldn't have answered such a rediculous question from me

Haha!
Just checked the TV guide for Pay TV and there is a Mars show on at 11:30 too: Mars- Dead or Alive, then the one Mike mentioned at 12:30. I'll watch both and no I can't record either of them on DVD!

Was a great and interesting show! 2 hours of mars! The first hour was a repeat from the Catalyst show on the ABC earlier this year, but the second hour was all new stuff, with the images they've taken and analysis of it from the past year.
What a blast, incredible the stuff that's been going on behind the scenes.. imagine being in that environment.. they'd be working 24 hours and 40 minutes a day i'm sure.
