Repackaged in 'Mars Rising'


Ah! I'm a French Canadian living in the States, and recently got hooked on the documentary serie "Mars Rising" on Science Channel. It's about all the technical challenges and difficulties the scientific community is facing in its desire to travel to mars.

Not a dramatization, just plain documentary. But then they keep showing shots of astronauts in their daily life on the way to Mars. Those have no dialogs, just a bunch of astronauts doing generic things.

Then I saw among them who I thought was the Quebecois actress Pascale Bussières, and being curious I looked it up on ImDB.

It's now clear that Science Channel (or whoever produced Mars Rising) have paid to use footages from "Race to Mars". Which is weird to see such a great actress as Bussière in a documentary, non-speaking role.
