I can, occassionally, just sit back and enjoy the ride, and be prepared to not understand every single thing. And sometimes I surprise myself that I DO actually know a thing or two. My brother educates me ;)

And sometimes a picture speaks more than a thousand words. It only sunk in how hard any long range communication would be after watching that Stargate episode where Jack and Teal'c were lost in space... literally... and had to wait half an hour for a reply after they sent a message... I also know much more about Egyptian mythology now but that's another story.

So those people that sign up for a real Mars mission - without a ticket back home - do they really know what they get themselves into? Obviously, there won't be any internet or skyping with the family back home.

That trailer really blew me away - it's what a good trailer is supposed to do, after all. You won't discourage me ;)

Let's talk again once I have seen it!
