Negative Positive
Title: Depressing and inaccurate
Review: I was looking forward to this DVD, after seeing the fascinating BBC website and the very nice book (which by the way gave me a credit, for helping them with some photos of Venus).I was dissapointed in the show itself, which was depressing and riddled with technical mistakes and inaccuracies. I expect some fact checking from the BBC, but you cannot trust any statement or figure in this program. For example, the Russians landed on Venus 10 times, with the two Vega landers being the last. How could they get basic facts like that wrong? Going from Mars past the Sun to pick up speed -- energetically impossible and it wouldn't provide any speed boost.The show presents failure after failure, with almost every mission ending in near death. Just not very fun or educational or factual. Written by labor-party leftists I suppose, with weak science backgrounds, we get two hours of their anti-science sentiment.
Is the review positive or negative?
