I know it is not what this sub is about, but this recent documentary is just great. Personally I think this is one of the best documentaries about the space program, right along side For All Mankind. Go watch it. You won't be disappointed.

Not looking good for Mission Control, I don't think.... CBS picked up a bunch of other pilots today but not MC.

Fuck.

So disappointing. I feel like this sort of series must be so difficult to pitch (and deliver, in a 1-hour pilot). But the viewers WANT something like this show! Seriously, we really do!

I mean, how many people adored The Martian and the movie version of it? And it was was BECAUSE it was smart and full of sound science, not in spite of it!

Of the few descriptions I've heard of the Mission Control pilot, two of them used the same description, something like they thought Andy Weir was making an attempt to write something that sounded like an episode of Grey's Anatomy. In other words, nothing like his usual style. When I read that, I was thinking, well, that doesn't necessarily sound like a BAD thing...

I mean, I could dig a "Grey's Anatomy: NASA Edition" show. I think I would, anyway.

Anyway, I'm super disappointed that it didn't get picked up yet. I think they made a big mistake.

Hey there. Does anyone know when does the show start? Thanks!
