S1, EP3 "Space Shuttle"

The story of the engineers who created the world's first reusable space vehicle.

When people think of American space travel, the first names that come to their minds are usually the likes of Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Sally Ride. Like with most massive projects like NASA's, there are a number of people behind the scenes who work tirelessly to get to the point where astronauts can go into space. Those people, however, aren't household names like the folks who blast off on the space shuttles. This series profiles the secret heroes, engineers who helped build the spacecraft and other instruments that have allowed astronauts to launch into space to explore the world beyond what's visible from Earth. The show reveals the stories behind how they created such machines as the Saturn V moon rocket and the Hubble Space Telescope.

From the award-winning team of filmmaker Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan") and producer Jane Root ("America the Story of Us"), this 10-part cinematic event series explores the fragility and wonder of planet Earth -- one of the most peculiar, unique places in the universe. Host Will Smith guides viewers on an unprecedented exploration, bolstered by an elite group of eight astronauts who provide unique perspectives and relate personal memoirs of the planet seen from a distance.

Xploration DIY Sci

The "don't try this at home" warning seen on some TV shows doesn't apply to this series, which encourages the discovery of scientific concepts through experiments that viewers can reproduce in their own homes. Science teacher Steve Spangler hosts the show, providing step-by-step demonstrations of the DIY experiments that help explain scientific principles. Among the experiments presented is one that gained Spangler fame, in which he showed what happens when a mint candy is dropped into a bottle of diet soda. On the show, he explains the "why" and "how" behind the experiment and what cause the soda to react with the candy.
