Space.com is carrying news of some ambitious Mars-based programming coming soon from the Discovery Channel. Unfortunately it would appear to be slated for the Science Channel, that which we do not get at the moment*. Maybe we'll pick it up on re-runs somewhere?

* Our love of Tivo and my pathalogical hatred of cable boxes combine to keep us on the ol' basic cable standard. Which is still enough for us to usually have about 20 hours of programming stored at any one time. The upcoming cable card-based systems and new HD-Tivos may finally free us from this basic wasteland, but considering what the cost of the new gear will be, perhaps not any time soon.
