Very negative post there, but i would disagree, it is entertaining and just because it wasnt as dramatic a launch as you would have liked it sounds like you have been taken in a bit to much by the shows premise.

Surely you didnt expect a fully fledged shuttle to launch them did you - what were you expecting?

The idea of the show is not to fool you its to fool the participants and to take the mickey out of them as well - something which is very hard to do - and to be frank they have done a superb job with it so far bar a couple of technical hitches - which they have brilliantly worked their way round with some very quick thinking - after 3 weeks of them not only still being in the Uk instead of Russia and having been through all that "training", the majority have no idea and only possibly one of the crew has suspisions outwith the actor - an amazing achievement in itself.

The show could be blown at any minute remember - and they are all flying quite literally by the seat of their pants.

I would recommend watching it if you have them on your Sky+ for sure.
