National Geographic Does A Study On Darwin 4, An Alien Ecosystem

[Seil]

With commentators like George Lucas and Stephen Hawking.

Alien Planet is a 94 minute special on Discovery Channel about two internationally built robot probes investigating for alien life on the fictional planet Darwin IV. It was based on the book Expedition, by sci-fi/fantasy artist and writer Wayne Douglas Barlowe, who was also executive producer on thespecial. It premiered on May 14, 2005.

The show uses sophisticated computer-generated imagery, which is interspersed with interviews from such notables as Stephen Hawking, George Lucas, Michio Kaku, and Jack Horner. The show was filmed in Iceland and Mono Lake in California.

Okay, I find this really interesting, seeing as how we're going into depth on ecosystems and structure in biology class. Anyone else interested in this?

(On second thought, this belongs in Movies, doesn't it? I was trying to spark a conversation about biology, but... yeah. This doesn't go here.)
