Hurricanes are one of the most destructive weather events to strike our planet and have the same power as a nuclear weapon.

The earth is 4.5 billion years old and it is slowly dying. Tectonic activity is slowly cooling the planet – the continents will eventually move together to form a new supercontinent called Pangea Ultima.

Chances are, you are watching this program by satellite, one way or the other. Every day we use these wonders of human design, from communication and weather observation, to GPS and recourse management.

With low Earth orbit delegated to private companies, NASA is free to develop the deep space hardware for missions to Mars and beyond. The Orion space craft and SLS launch system are well on their way to delivering this capability.

Air, water, food, electricity and fuel all the essentials to explore the solar system, this episode explores the innovative plans for astronauts to grow their own food and extract water and fuel at their destinations.

NASA and others are developing new innovative propulsion systems, Ion thrusters, solar sails and the science fiction 'Warp drive' is not as far away as once thought.

The threat of an asteroid strike is a very real danger in our solar system, mankind is now in a position to defend the planet from such an eventuality.

The Hubble Telescope is nearing its end, the replacements are ready to go, ready to peer further back in time and space than can be imagined.

The life cycle of stars reveal to us the past and the future of Earth and ourselves.

In terms of the Universe, we know we don't know much, especially when it comes to dark matter and dark energy. Scientists are devoting so much of their time to discovering as much as the possibly can about this mysterious matter.

Before spaceflight aviators began wearing pressure suits to allow them to function at higher ceilings.

The Sun is our star. Its energy enables life on the Earth to thrive yet we know so little about the solar weather and the 11 year solar cycle.

Space telescopes orbiting above the distorting effects of the Earth's atmosphere, such as the Hubble, have made incredible contributions to our knowledge of the universe.

There are so many unanswered questions about the stars, the galaxies and the universe and just mapping what lies in the night sky is immensely difficult.

As our expertise in space technology increases there have been spin-offs in many areas: particularly in communications.

The most important planet in the solar system is our home, the Earth. It is the only planet we know that harbours life.

Space technologies are continuing to be refined and access to space is becoming cheaper.

The development of reliable, high-powered boosters has enabled researchers to send probes to distant planets.

By 2050 mankind will be living on the moon, and perhaps even Mars

Flying cars are coming, but when?

What would happen if many of the products we use every day were made in our homes and not factories?

Oceans cover three-quarters of the Earth’s surface, yet are less explored than the Moon.

Virtual reality, simulated environments, realistic video game worlds, and AI are all coming by 2050.

More people are moving to cities than ever before. And that’s changing the ways of millions of people.

Chuck Pell goes to New York’s fashion district to try the latest…in electric clothes.

In the future farms are moving from the countryside into the city, and they’re going straight up.

The first decade of the 1900s ushers in crucial inventions that will help shape the rest of the century. Communication gets a boost as a voice is transmitted wirelessly by radio for the first time.

Saving lives and taking lives are the hallmarks of the inventions of the 1910s. From charcoal to lightly browned.

Mobsters, jazz, and turbulent economic times mark the 1920s. Silent film makes the transition to the talkies as sound comes to the silver screen. Criminals find that there's one less place to hide with the invention of the lie detector.

Though overshadowed by the Great Depression, there is no shortage of ingenuity in the 1930s. The two-way radio gets miniaturized, and the world's first portable walkie-talkie goes on the air.

Temples, designed to honor the Gods, have been at the heart of cities since earliest times.

Without water, civilization is simply not possible; Romans took control of their water seriously.

As far back as the Bronze Age, humans were building ships capable of crossing oceans and trading.

Earth has an evil twin. Venus. It is shrouded in a lethal atmosphere of carbon dioxide and acid rain. The surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead and the pressure high enough to crush a nuclear submarine.

The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of rock and iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and it still orbits happily around the sun.

By far the largest planet, 1300 times the size of Earth, it’s a world so enormous it could swallow every planet and moon in the solar system and still have room to spare.
