jrb writes "James Cameron revealed astounding images of his upcoming Mars miniseries and IMAX movie. And, if you want the full story, catch it at Aint-it-cool-news. " Very cool stuff-Cameron, as his wont, has /really/ gotten to know subject matter, and he has wowed many of the scientists attending.
This should be a great vehicle to help drum up public enthusiasm for the laudable goal of a manned mission to Mars. An eager populace is what got us to the moon so quickly, and the ensuing ambivilence is what's kept us from going back. Either mass demand or promise of commercial return are the only ways we're ever going to get to Mars (although the latter will be what *keeps* us there!), and it's great to see our modern heros doing their best to help!

I will be posting more Cameron pictures from the conference this week and perhaps the transcript of his speech. Stay tuned.
