Exploring the cosmos
Our current forays beyond the Earth are only baby steps in cosmic terms. Even so, a half-century of space exploration has produced a highly diversified range of missions, modes, and methods. This program examines space-faring technology-including both existing hardware and systems in development-designed to extend our reach into the cosmos and expand our conception of it. Spotlighting efforts at the European Space Agency Research and Technology Centre, the film reveals preparations for a mission to Mars and related plans to terraform the red planet. Also discussed are the merits of manned and unmanned flights, the interstellar progress of Voyager 1, and a potential new way of getting into space-by elevator.

- "This program features Freeman Dyson, an elder statesman of the scientific community whose ideas are so original in scope that his colleagues coined the term "Dysonian" to describe any highly imaginative idea. Joining him are astrophysicist Sara Seagar, a rising star in planetary system research who studies large extra-solar planets; John Bahcall, a pioneer in neutrino astrophysics and the driving force behind the construction of the Hubble Space Telescope; and Feryal Ozel, a specialist on the subjects of neutron stars and black holes. Their discussion of space, ranging from extraterrestrial life to comets on a collision course with Earth, is out of this world."@en
