I'm seeing a Canadian bent on this series. Lots of mentions of "even Canada" when talking of nations involved in possible missions. Lots of Canadian scientists, Canadian government officials, James Cameron listed as "Canadian filmmaker" and , of course, The Shat (born: Montreal) I was almost surprised that a Canada-only prospect wasn't mentioned.

If you look at the credits, you'll find that it's a Canadian production, made in association with Discovery Channel Canada, so it's only fair that there'd be a few cheers for the home team. There do seem to be people from quite a number of countries involved in its making, though.

Well, that explains it...it was really noticeable in Episode 3 on how big its Canadian bent is. Damn near every "expert" they interviewed was Canadian. But I'm like was/were the countless American NASA astronauts already booked for something else?

Right. I'm sure they did it for the sole purpose of snubbing NASA and the American viewing public, those uppity Canucks.

Yeah, they need to go back to the Vancouver studio sets where they came from!

The easiest way to get to Mars: smoke good British Columbian pot.
