Holy hell this show is cringe-inducing, does anyone like this? Why is it shot so it looks like a 1990s TV sitcom? Why does every character speak only in exposition? Why are these astronauts such brooding drama queens instead of badasses? Brutally bad show.

It's literally a Space X infomercial.

I'm not really surprised

hmmm

It's bad? I read an article today that called Nat Geo the new HBO, based off of this show. I'm beginning to think it was sponsored content.
Jonathan Turner
It's about Mars. I'm going to watch every bit of it no matter what. I fell in love with the planet after reading Kim Stanley Robinson's stuff.

>privately funded
Elon Musk is bathing in government subsidies. He would have been a lot less ambitious if it weren't for taxpayers bailing him out everytime one of his model rockets explodes.
Dylan Johnson
It's not that bad. It's just The Martian minus the quips, plus some non-fiction interviews.
pretty comfy desu
Blake Young
>t The Martian minus the quips, plus some non-fiction interviews
So it's The Martian adaptation the bookfags actually wanted?
Nicholas Reyes
Because it's aimed squarely at ameritards with the attention span and the intelligence of an oxygen starved toddler.
Blake Scott
in the ad it looked interesting, but then the show itself was really bad.

Reminder that mars doesn't exist. Space doesn't exist. The earth is flat and all the rover pictures are cgi or the mojave desert. Remember that "mars" picture with a mojave ground squirrel in the frame?
Brandon Williams
it's not really about Mars, what i saw. It's like a fake documentary of a mission to mars.

This idea that SpaceX is the beneificiary of massive subsidies, or that they receive taxpayer bailouts when their rockets explode, is completely false. I'm going to say it's not bad will, it's because Musk has so many ventures.
Tesla has received large subsidies AND a government loan, that it repayed in full before GM. SpaceX received a small subsidy to build a launch facility in the middle of nowhere. Before it was AWARDED CONTRACTS by NASA for WORK, it was funded by Musk from his own pocket. It's still in a precarious financial situation. The lost Facebook rocket might not be covered by insurance, since it was a terrestrial accident. As far as I know, there are no plans for a bailout, so if there IS one please link it. I'd love to read it.

Facebook satellite* I should have said.

I'm still dubious about the SpaceX ITS actually existing because... Look at that motherfucker. Contrast it with literally every car-sized tin can that's ever been launched into space.
Easton Gutierrez
What's with the fucking high-impact logo and the wacky-ass background?
What a weird show.
Don't let one man being really weird about SpaceX ruin everything.
Jeremiah Peterson
it's pretty comfy. it has insight from various scientists (could have more tho). personally i don't believe this mission will go through, in the time they proposed to it, maybe in the 60's, there's a lot of development needed before doing this and the funds are not quite abundant. the simulation of the voyage to mars is just like any other movie about space. the trials and tribulations of the crew are not so appealing as the rest of the show
Cameron Ortiz
Most of the quips were in the book.
For whatever it's worth, The Martian is the most faithful adaptation of a novel I have ever seen. It's almost word-for-word, scene-for-scene transcribed from the book.
Benjamin Scott
Have you seen the plans for their planned BIG rocket? They just tested it. It's got the rocket equivalent of a turbo charger. Once they get it fully functional they are going to put a bunch of them together into one giant rocket; launch the ship, supplies, and crew separately; and link it all up in orbit; and then zoom off to Mars.
