Author	Topic: 'My Favorite Martian' and private space travel
Cozmosis22 Member Posts: 968 From: Texas * Earth Registered: Apr 2011	posted 12-02-2016 03:38 PM Episode 34 of "My Favorite Martian," what is widely considered one of the earliest sitcoms with a science fiction premise, aired late in Season One, June 7, 1964. Uncle Martin learns of a wealthy businessman planning a trip to Mars and decides to apply for the astronaut of the mission. From the script: Founder of the Keck Foundation announced here today the completion of a spacecraft capable of landing on Mars; the first privately financed project of its kind. This was more than 50 years ago. The dream of non-governmental space travel is nothing new. That may or may not change in the near future.
