Fox on Feb. 1 gave a green light to the SF drama pilot Beyond, from writer David Self (Road To Perdition), Variety reported.

Twentieth Century Fox TV and Imagine TV are behind the thriller, which takes place at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. A global crisis helps launch a new race to space as the show opens, the trade paper reported.

Wow, let’s race to space! Although, if it’s a manned race-to-space, I’m not sure why JPL would be involved, but hey, better than nothing. Maybe we could get someone to say, “I’m not a rocket scientist, but I play one on TV!“
