PBS Newshour did a 10 minute video story on the Mars500 project (isolation experiment) yesterday:
Mock Mission to Mars Tests Psychological Rigors of Long-Distance Space Travel
AIR DATE: July 7, 2011
which i mentioned originally in the manned Mission to Mars discussion thread when it started last Summer.
I'm glad to see the footage they shot as they documented this 500-day test.
I like how Miles O'Brien calls it a cross between Spacecamp and a reality show.
For a purely scifi entertainment aspect for television I'd like a deep space scripted tv show with a crew chosen by a real Russian test researchers for characters to be closely based on.
