I guess I saw it as more of a cspan-level of entertainment. Not overly dramatic but narrated by Morgan freeman.

I doubt that the integrity of the mission would be compromised by sharing the trials and successes along the way via tv. I do think it could make the project more visible and create a common objective for humanity. It would need to be done by someone that respects the mission more than the ratings. Produced by James Cameron?

I had to reread that twice. :)

If Morgan Freeman was narrating my adventure, I'd be worried.

Morgan Freeman could read the sentence," the Martian surface was dry and arid" and make it sound dramatic and cool. I guess my point(not well made, I admit) was that Morgan Freeman could narrate cspan and make it interesting.
