Space on TV

I wonder if it's an example of synchronicity with the number of fictional space-theme (British) TV programmes being broadcast at the moment.

We've had:

• Supernova - Brit astronomer (Rob Brydon) goes to Australian Observatory
• Rocket Man - Factory man (Robson Green) decides to build a rocket
• Space Cadets (broadcast this week & next) - Reality TV hoax trying to persuade members of the public they are going to be sent into space for 5 days when they are left on the ground
  

The big question is, will the hoax work?

I think it will, especially after the space tourists were selected for being "suggestible" and easily persuaded by others.
Just think of those who voted for Bush & Blair, again as well as the rise of Nazism & the Stanford Prison Experiment.
