I'm sorry, but imho it would be a gigantic flop or cut and modified so much that no source material will not be recognizable afterwards. As much as I like Mars Trilogy, that's exactly the book which needs to be avoided as a TV source. It has all problems which we see in other shows packed together - sci-fi environment (high cost), big cast, slow pace (glacial pace even, and I did read all books twice by now, and plan to read again), too big primary cast, unrelatable problems for the majority of viewers, way too much new terminology and geography, etc. And it's too damn long, even cutting it won't help. Meaning abandoned after season 1 or 2 because expectations would be too high due to high cost.
