Can I ask which colony? Chances are I might know them as well.
My problem with the NatGeo feature is that it looks staged and sheer entertainment. That, plus they literally picked out the bottom of the barrel amongst the colonies to do a feature on.
The way they portray life on the colony isn't 100% accurate, and a lot of people will walk away thinking it is like that.
