Comedies in Space!

A couple of new comedies are boldly going where no sitcom has gone before. HBO and NBC each have space-themed comedies in development. HBO's is Women in Space (very direct title) about women who are sent off on a mission to colonize another planet. NBC's is Mission Control about a woman working at NASA during the space race in the '60s. Interesting that neither are set at NASA (or a private space company like Space X) right now. Or maybe there's one on the way to solidify the trend!
