Space is vast, yet it is full of collisions. Gas and dust electrostatically flock together, and gravity takes over coalescing grains into rocks. Those rocks become boulders, then asteroids colliding again and again, striking planets and each other.

Does our society have the capacity to live up to Star Trek's optimistic vision for humanity's future? William Shatner takes us on a journey to find out whether art has imitated life in the years since the world-renowned TV series premiered in 1966.

This film features unexpected historical insights, cutting-edge science and exciting new experiments. From Einstein's Relativity to quantum mechanics, host Jim Al-Khalili explores one of the most extraordinary phenomena in our universe.

See the sun, moon, planets, and galaxies through the eyes of intrepid machines that are blazing a trail across the solar system. A gateway to bold adventures, these cameras are delivering spectacular new cosmic vistas.

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.

In the cold, dark expanse of our solar system, beyond the asteroid belt, lie the giant planets. Some can be seen with the naked eye, others have been visited by our camera. What secrets do they hold?

Our atmosphere is an unbelievably complex machine that protects us from the vacuum of space, shelters us from harmful radiation and allows us and the biosphere to breath; we need to learn much more about it so we can better it.

The human eye can only see visible light, a small spectrum of electromagnetic waves. Today, we have instruments that let us perceive all wavelengths.

The Northern Lights are more than just beautiful; they tell us about the make up of our planet, our sun, and may even be a signpost for the possibility of life on other planets.

Cold War & The Start of the Space Race - Cold War rivalry and the acceleration of space exploration. Servicing Hubble - Preparations for Hubble's final servicing mission. Chasing a Comet - Launch and the difficult path to rendezvous.

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

Between 1960 and 1972, mankind boldly went where no human had been before. Across 11 manned missions, 24 men flew to the moon and 12 walked upon its surface. This film documents Apollo 17 through the eyes of the astronauts who flew.

Cosmic rays can tell us much about the universe. They are not simply another form of light, but carriers of information about powerful and unseen processes at work thousands or even millions of light years away.

As scientists and astronomers peer more closely and with evermore fidelity at nearby stars, they are discovering countless exo planets. How many Earth-like planets are out there? Could one of them hold life not so different from our own?

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.

For over 50 years we have bombarded Mars with our probes and landers. Spying from orbit to map terrain, finding her strengths and weaknesses. The time nearing for the full scale invasion of the planet, when humans walk on Mars and claim it for their own.

Gravity has long been a force that has intrigued scientists. Now, for the first time scientists are probing to detect gravity waves in space as well as mapping the gravity patterns of the moon.

See the sun, moon, planets, and galaxies through the eyes of intrepid machines that are blazing a trail across the solar system. A gateway to bold adventures, these cameras are delivering spectacular new cosmic vistas.

Saturn is the second largest planet and has an astonishing 60 moons in its orbit. Thanks to the Cassini mission, it's also one of the most studied and most photographed planets in our neighborhood.

The moon is our closest celestial companion. It lights our night sky and gently tugs at our shores. Few have walked on her surface, but her allure remains strong.

The new surge in space transportation, privately owned companies vying for government contracts and private entrepreneurs looking to build hotels in space.

Project Mercury Begins - The start of NASA & America's first manned space program. Mars Express - The European Space Agency's Mars Satellite. The Soyuz Launch System - The gradual evolution of Russia's Soyuz launcher.

The Shuttle Program - The first re-useable spacecraft. The Challenger Disaster - Pressing launch schedules lead to carelessness and the loss of the Challenger. Return to Space - A re-designed shuttle is back in space with a redefined role.

The Apollo Program Begins - At the very beginning of NASA's moon project things go wrong. Caves - ESA's special training program for astronauts. Planck - Mapping the cosmic microwave background radiation.

Rebuilding Project Apollo - After the Apollo 1 disaster NASA resumes manned space flight. Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 - Monitoring the Earth's Co2 levels in unprecedented detail. Zero Gravity Training - Parabolic flights.

Take a look at Landsat 8, the advanced planetary explorer with a 900 million dollar price tag! It is designed to peer across multiple wavelengths to reveal complex and ever-changing details that are undetectable by the human eye.

This episode traces our view of the Milky Way, from the mythology of ancient sky watchers to the efforts of scientists to map it from the inside out.

The sky above is studded with stars and countless galaxies. In them, we can read not only our origin, but also our final destination. Technology is on the brink of taking us to places we have only dreamed of.

There are many more worlds in our solar system than just the planets. The mysterious moons of the gas giants may hold much more than we ever imagined. Each one is unique, and each one deserves a scrutinous eye.

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.

Between 1968 and 1972, the world watched in awe each time an American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon. Only 12 men walked upon its surface and they remain the only human beings to have stood on another world.

Before we can reach space, we must first be able to see it. Hundreds of years ago, the simple telescope was used to give us a seemingly closer vantage. Today, we use the awe-inspiring, and super powerful, Hubble Space Telescope.

With the Dawn missions exploration of the asteroid Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres, asteroids are a hot topic. See what these incredible missions have uncovered.

For more than 25 years the shuttle was our ticket to space, and our laboratory in orbit. Uncover the legacy of this amazing machine, and see what lies ahead.

Mercury is one Earth's closest neighbors, but for centuries it eluded astronomer's best efforts to learn its secrets. But that has changed thanks to missions like Mariner and most recently, Messenger.

The Space Shuttle Matures - The Space Transportation System changes the nature of orbital missions. Complex Construction in Space - Confidence in the shuttle begins to return and engineers for get the lessons of the past.

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.

They orbit between our planet and our star. Mercury and Venus make up half of our terrestrial planets, but we still know very little about them. As we take a closer look at our companions, we find more questions than answers.

Who are these people that venture into space? Once they were test pilots, then scientists and engineers now teachers, politicians and paying tourists what does it take to earn the astronaut wings?

The night sky is a time machine. The further we look out into the universe, the further back in time we reach. Most of what we see is actually dark matter and dark energy, but its nature eludes us... for the moment.
