Defying GravitySince i doubt there will be a manned exploration of the galaxy(or even the solar system) in my lifetime, i'll have to settle for
Defying Gravity.
In the near future, an international space association will launch an 11-trillion-dollar mission to explore our solar system. Complete with tons of weepy/whiny dialogue and sex, this is basically a soap opera in space. That said it has a very high production value for sets and props and effects, so i still really enjoy it.
The ship,
Antares is equipped to provide the crew of 8 with food/water, atmoshpere, and artificial gravity for the 6-year tour of solar system.
I'm starting the eleventh episode now, and i hope they will finally show the
Venus lander they keep talking about...
And the ship really reminds me of the Icarus II from Sunshine.
