I'd expect it to get boring quick, just like watching rocket launches. New exciting images can only happen every so often. You probably want some drama or tension for better ratings. That's a pretty big mismatch of incentives combined with tricky power dynamic. I'd stay away from that unless that reality show is just a small side venture. And no way it could ever significantly finance a mars base in the first place.
- yreg 8y agoAbout as fascinating to watch as media produced on the ISS. So after the initial hype, not mainstream.
- tempestn 8y agoYeah, I agree. Like almost everyone else I assume, I'd watch the launch and initial landing. And I'd be interested in major milestones (but I probably watch more rocket launches than the average person too). But yeah, day to day I expect you're dead on that it'd be about as exciting as watching the live ISS footage: ie, not very. Edit: Was my sibling that made the comparison to ISS, not the parent. Either way, apt.
