A documentary that investigates the birth and death of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in the future.

In a futuristic world, the USA decides to send a married couple of astronauts to its moon base in order to prevent any improper contact with the Soviet female cosmonauts manning the USSR moon base.

Short documentary on mankind's first walk on the moon with Apollo 11, NASA's first test mission of Orion for beyond low-space orbit, and Mars 1, the upcoming first manned mission to the red planet.

Doctor Smith disposes of a plant which has grown to an intense size, and becomes attached to the hull of the Jupiter 2.

The Robinsons take a boy home to his planet and come across a spaceship that is a space lighthouse. The boy gets angry when they tell him they don't have enough fuel to get him home.

The Robinsons meet a fellow Earth explorer who is also lost in space. They help him repair his ship and ask him to take Will and Penny home.

John Robinson and Don West are transported onto a strange new world where their evil opposites exist and plan to change places with them. Will, the Robot and a reluctant Dr. Smith set out to find and help the real Don and John only to be pursued by an evil John Robinson.

Program recaps the basic knowledge about Mars normally covered in high school.

A few of the cosmic threats to life on earth reviewed include meteors, gamma ray bursts and, in the distant future, evolution of the sun.

The Universe examines the stormy gas giant Jupiter and its mini-solar system of over 60 moons.

Fifty years after humans first stepped foot on the moon, engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs engage in new discoveries to make life on the moon a reality.

Program takes a brief look at the dynamics of Saturn's rings before exploring the unique and amazing features of the planet itself, including the curious behavior at the poles, and recent discoveries about Saturn's exotic moons.

How the various structural types of galaxies form by merging with smaller galaxies is explained and simulated. The preliminary hints at the importance of dark matter in the process are mentioned.

America's rapid growth in the early 20th century exposes millions to natural and man-made disasters. Americans are both fascinated and horrified by these catastrophes ,many of which they record on film. As the century progresses these disasters teach them about the natural world and how to mitigate against further fatal events. Now, using rare archive and home movie footage, this story is told in color, for the very first time.

New discoveries regarding the Outer Planets are creating a fundamental rethinking of our solar system. Uranus is a toxic combination of hydrogen, helium and methane. Scientists speculate that the planet was knocked on its side after colliding with another body. Neptune's largest moon, Triton, is cold and barren, but some scientists speculate that liquid water might exist under Triton's icy surface. If this is proven true, Triton could be the home to one of the biggest discoveries of all time. Cold and inhospitable, Pluto completes one orbit around the solar system every 248 years. Cutting-edge computer graphics are used to bring the universe down to earth to show what life would be like on other planets, and to imagine what kind of life forms might evolve in alien atmospheres.

In this program the constellations serve as a backdrop for the diversity of stellar objects and for a few very special stars that serve as navigation aids for sailors, seasonal markers for farmers or distance milestones for astronomers.

Collisions between relatively minor bodies in the solar system can have far reaching effects. Astronomers are trying to trace meteors that caused mass extinctions back to the event that cause them to cross Earth's path in case they have relatives waiting to pay a visit.

Black holes, white holes and worm holes are all consistent with Einstein's theory of General Relativity. Of the three, actual evidence exists only for black holes. Their behavior is explained. Scientists speculate on on whether white holes and worm holes exist and how they would behave.

Various phenomenon observed on earth, both real and perceived, are linked to the moon. Explanations for these phenomenon are presented.

Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, consists of more than stars and planets. The wide variety of other celestial objects that call the Milk Way home are described. And the Milky Way is not alone but has some nearby companions.

Scientists hunt for dark matter in the strangest of places. They know where it is, what it does and can sort of see it if they look in the right way. They just can't quite figure out what it is or how to get their hands on it even though it's everywhere. But it is well understood compared to dark energy which is an even bigger mystery.
