Two of these European volunteers will be chosen to spend 18 months in a Mission to Mars simulation.
They will be locked inside a series of metal drums, outfitted to mimic a Mars bound spacecraft. All food, water and necessities will be loaded with them at the beginning, and they will have no access to any other supplies or outside contact until they “arrive” on Mars.
But do they realise that Alan Alda already did this experiment in 1967?
And if anyone has the full fantastic episode, I will get The King to knight you.
Wow. I hope the volunteers get as great a theme song as Coronet Blue!
I’ve never heard of that show before – the excerpt was priceless – I want to see more!
Hey queenie, did you see Moon?
Not yet – good?
Just found this info – doesn’t look hopeful. If anyone has a tape of it that would be awesome! Spread the word, Nursie.
“Regarding DVD rights and possible DVD release–long story. Coronet Blue was developed by Herbert Brodkin’s production company called Plautus Productions (from the name of the Roman playwright and where we get the term “plot” from (pronounced Plot-us).
Well, Herb died back in 1990 and all his work including “The Defenders” and “Coronet Blue” were tangled in litigation for many years. Paramount picked up the rights to Blue in 1993 and there they have been ever since– languishing in vaults now owned by Viacom with Paramount as a subsidiary. “
He’s locked inside a series of metal drums, all food, water and necessities were loaded on with him…..
I wonder if they consulted Alan Alda?
I’m all about the deerstalker
No no, floppy fringe for me!
Even from the opening credit scenes you can see that show has everything! Mostly running and punching though.
