    I actually found Google Play has the full season at about 8 bucks.

    Thank you! I had never used Google Play. Found it and bought it. Looking forward to watching all the episodes next week.

    It doesn't seem like it's been two years, also unusual for a series to take a year off. As an FYI, the second season of "Mars" on Nat Geo is starting up again tonight.

    Here is the Mars: SpaceX Special. This will probably get yanked from Youtube pretty quick. So watch it now if you get the chance.

    The Nat Geo YouTube channel has the Elon video:
    And plenty of others.

    I have on e episode left in the first season (I just found the on-demand feature of DirectvNOW). My main problem in suspending disbelief is the constant back and forth between real people being interviewed in 2016, and the Mars crew being interviewed in 2033+. The contrast is just too much at times, and I don't believe the actors.

    But I am still enjoying the show. It is less science-based than I expected, but still cool. Feels like each episode has its own catastrophic event, which I did not expect of Nat Geo. Maybe I don't know what Nat Geo does though. Maybe I'll check out Curiosity Stream!

    In the end, this show makes me rethink my willingness to go to Mars. That may be reality hitting home via a nice fictional show...

    One thing that has annoyed me with this show from the outset: they did zero attempts at accounting for the lower gravity... They did so much right!
    But coming back to this thread from the one for Away, I feel pretty good about this series here.
