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.

Dark matter, which is unknown and undetectable in our physical models, would appear to populate the cosmos on a massive scale. For the first time, a film portrays the wild scientific quest that dark matter gives rise to - a real thriller!

The world famous Apollo missions are some of the greatest feats ever accomplished by man. With rare archive footage and unprecedented access to life on board the Apollo spacecrafts, this stunning one-hour special brings scientific history to life.

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.

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 the world of astronomy, how do we overcome the limits imposed by our own eyesight? The universe comes alive by viewing the cosmos in infrared light to gamma radiation.

The Atacama desert is a perfect place for watching the night sky. With still winds and only a handful of cloudy nights each year, it allows scientists to get the absolute most out of their tools.

Mars has fired our imagination for thousands of years. The tantilizing possibility of life has made it the most inviting planet in our solar system. It is the only other place that man may one day call home.

The interface between Earth and space is the Ionosphere, a region of rarified gas and charged particles. It is very important for radio communications, radar, satellite signals and global positioning. Yet we know so little about it.

Mars sparks our curiosity like no other planet because it is so reachable. Despite having landed there, most of the information we gather is still done by instruments in the planet's orbit.

Throughout history, our nightly view of the universe has fueled our collective imagination. When it comes to the Big Bang, not even the most creative work of imagination can rival what science has revealed about the birth of the universe.

This is a series packed with space stories and information about our universe covering what we can see, how we can live in space and what science tells us about the past and the future as we journey inside out of space.

Come with us as we explore and unravel the mysteries of what lies beyond our planet Earth. This is a series packed with space stories and information about our universe covering what we can see.

The sun bathes our planet in warmth and light. It powers the machinery of nature, our weather, and it encourages and sustains life on land and at sea. We study it closely, and it can reveal the secrets of all other stars.

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.

Soviet Luna 3 was the first to use gravity to change course to photograph the dark side of the Moon. NASA Mariner 10 used the technique to swing by Venus to target Mercury. The gravity sling shot maneuver has become a standard for space navigation.

Leading physicists and engineers in the field of interstellar travel discuss some of the deep issues we face when considering the problem of sending spacecraft to other stars. Will mankind ever truly become a space fairing civilization?

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.

The Fermi Paradox asks the ultimate question: Given a few reasonable assumptions about the chance of life arising elsewhere in the universe and the distance between the stars, why has an alien civilization not presented itself?

Interviews with Apollo 8 astronauts, their wives, mission control staff, and journalists give true insider's perspective to the space race of the late 1960's.

Gravity keeps us on the ground and the planets in their orbits, yet we only notice it when it's not there. In space we cheat gravity; falling just as fast but missing the ground. Now this fundamental universal force is slowly giving up its secrets.

From the beginnings of our solar system 4.5 billions years ago, there remain many clues to reveal its evolution. Remnant debris, asteroids, and comets are what's left of the building blocks to our celestial neighborhood.
