S1, EP3 "Hovercraft"

Chad Zdenek joins a salvage team to tear apart the world's biggest hovercraft and reveal the engineering innovations that made it a legend of its time; Chad joins the crew of an LCAC, the U.S. Navy's state-of-the art military hovercraft.

Former NASA rocket engineer Chad Zdenek gets up close and personal with mega machines to reveal the engineering principles that make them operate. Alongside salvage teams as they take machines such as a 747 jumbo jet and a hovercraft apart piece by piece, Zdenek gets one last chance to decipher how each were built and the mechanics that made it unique. He also explores the impact of the inventions and how they changed history. A power plant's century-old boilers, turbines, condensers and generators, the North Sea's biggest oil rig, and a U.S. aircraft carrier are among other featured projects.

Xploration Awesome Planet

Philippe Cousteau Jr. is no stranger to exploration. The grandson of legendary underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau, Philippe hosts and serves as executive producer of this half-hour earth science series that examines the planet. He visits diamond and gold mines to see how gems and metals are formed, travels to active volcanoes to observe what happens inside the Earth's burning core, and checks out weather stations in mountainous areas to get an idea of how weather phenomena form in the atmosphere.

Xploration Outer Space

Americans have been fascinated by the cosmos for decades and rely on NASA to explore celestial bodies seen in the night sky to get a better idea of what is out there. In this series, former NASA employee Emily Calandrelli visits some of the agency's facilities, private companies and universities to speak with people knowledgeable about the topic to help "show off the coolest aspects of the space industry," to use her words. Technology, a potential manned mission to Mars and planetary tourism are some themes.

Nazi Mega Weapons

This series unveils the engineering secrets of various iconic megastructures that went on to spark a technological revolution, ultimately changing warfare forever. The Nazis built some of the biggest and deadliest pieces of military hardware in history. Adolf Hitler hired men like Wernher von Braun, Ferdinand Porsche and Alfred Krupp to build huge terror machines, high-tech superguns and weapons of mass destruction.
