I didn't watch "Virtuality", but I was under the impression that it was more about virtual reality than the actual exploring of space. So, in that regard, this "Defying Gravity" series doesn't really sound like the same thing.

It'll air THIS summer? When? I'll be watching.

Sounds like Virtuosity that evidently bombed with the two hour movie.
