Everything realy is gearing up for mars. With change in public opinion. Two bits of good TV news

http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/red...tv-vince-gerardis-scripted-series-1201312931/

Spike TV is adding another original scripted series to its slate, and has partnered with “Game of Thrones” co-executive producer Vince Gerardis to develop “Red Mars,” based on Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilogy of novels.

And Ridley Scott to direct The Martian november 2015 release.
