Channel 4 Reality Show - To Infinity & Beyond

Sundae · 11-18-2005, 07:43 AM

Channel 4 (UK) starts broadcasting a show in December where members of the public believe that they are being trained by the military in Russia and have a chance to be selected for a trip to Near Space. In fact they are being trained at a disused airfield in the UK and the space flight is a simulation.

Watercooler conversation here is that they must have picked some really stupid people. I thought there must be more to it & searched until I found this article in the Independent newspaper.

Personally I think I would be fooled - as much by the "why would they go to all this trouble for a hoax?" aspect as by my own suggestibility. I'm looking forward to watching it anyway.
