anyone watch this show on the Discovery channel? i caught it sunday on the HD channel and man was it ever facinating. the way they managed to mix fact in with fiction was awesome, and i loved how completely different they made the planet from Earth, compared to most sci-fi where alien planets look like your backyard. the only thing i didn't like was the realization that while the show is based on actual plans to visit a planet like Darwin 4 (maybe Gliese 581), i probably won't be alive to see it happen
