Meet The Robinsons

In my ongoing "TV is not the devil" series I offer this.

Exodus Earth
If Earth became uninhabitable, where would humans live?

In Exodus Earth, the six-part series anchoring SPACE WEEK, physicist and host Dr. Basil Singer eagerly plays the role of human guinea pig to find answers.

His mission is to investigate if humans could possibly call Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn's moon Titan, and Jupiter's moons Callisto and Gliese 581c home in the future.

In the name of science, Dr. Singer subjects himself to extreme temperatures; tests new survival technologies designed to keep humans alive in harsh environments; suffers the rigors of travel in zero gravity; explores ideas for new human habitats in the sky; and more. Exodus Earth premieres Sunday, June 21 from 9 - 11 PM (ET/PT) with regular airings at 10 PM (ET/PT) throughout the week.

So far I've watched 2 episodes (Mars & Titan) of this incredible show. I'm completely enthralled. Singer investigates how the goal of living on a planet other than Earth could be attained by using existing technologies. Some of the tools he uncovers are very hi-tech, and others not so much.

The below clip discusses how the host tackles the problem of radiation (from solar flares) that could hit our Space Pioneers while living on Mars. Here on Earth we are protected by both our magnetic field and our atmosphere. However the Martian atmosphere is much thinner.

Enjoy!
