Many of you have probably seen the trailers for the upcoming six-part series, MARS. Produced by Ron Howard and Brian Glazer, this TV event begins airing in November. But Nat Geo has also released a short-film prequel to the series, called “Before Mars” in which amateur radio, and conversations with astronauts on the ISS plays a major role.
