Something for the Weekend #16

Regulars may know I'm a bit of a Moon Zero Two fan so consequently I'm very excited to present what's a relatively rare image.  Its a publicity still in which the moon's version of Pan's People (ask your mum and dad) gather around our hero and his sidekick because...well because quite frankly; sex sells.

Ding Dong!

Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets (2004)

And Talking of BBC documentaries how about this one; Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets, from back in 2004.

Set in the near-future, this fact-based BBC 2 part drama follows a group of astronauts as they undertake an epic voyage across the solar system, trying to capture an icy block from one of Saturn's rings, getting lost in a Venusian sulphuric acid storm and attempting to drill into the disintegrating surface of a comet along the way.

Made by Tim Haines, creator of the hit series 'Walking With Dinosaurs', the CGI-rich drama is drawn from the latest scientific thinking, the opinions of medical experts and the real-life experience of astronauts.

I saw most of this back in 2004 but its maybe time for a revisit

Just watched this wonderful BBC4 documentary this evening and very highly recommend it to you all.  Not sure if the link will work for all of you outside the UK people or how long it will last but these things tend to lurk around on the internet in some form or other so its worth seeking it out if you can't get to it from the above.
