“Was really excited to see this and I switched it on with my daughter (7) who is really interested in space exploration. What was promised are u0026quot;never before seen imagesu0026quot; and what appeared to be a lot of story on Opportunity Rover.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow the first part isnu0026#39;t hard to do because there are thousands of images so showing something new isnu0026#39;t difficult, but they go into such details on the wrong info – the names of the places are hard to remember (not their fault but why make the show too scientific), have rando people show their face and make comments about it, these intercuts totally take away the experience of seeing pictures of Mars because letu0026#39;s be frank I donu0026#39;t want to see a close up of some lady if I am watching a show about Mars! The show claims they use satellite footages to recreate Mars – it wasnu0026#39;t impressive – the CGI are rather poor and perhaps fake. The top-down image are real but the others were re-created from these so they are not 100% correct and just look lousy. Not as u0026quot;amazingu0026quot; as they keep telling you.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs for the Rover story, it takes maybe 5 minutes screentime. Itu0026#39;s still probably the best part but nothing new. Instead one should find a documentary on Opportunity Rover. Itu0026#39;s almost sad it stayed up there 14 years and eventually broke. If you children saw WALL-E they will see a connection.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn the end u0026quot;One Dayu0026quot; has nothing to do with the show either, they just place an hour timer in-between sequences that are unrelated to anything. Donu0026#39;t waste your time.”
