A tribute to the bold men and women who put their lives on the line in order to get a foothold in space, sometimes with disastrous results.
"Fixing on the Fly"
Trouble-shooting in space can be a matter of life and death, from deep-space collisions to deadly chemical leaks; astronauts are forced to innovate to survive.
"When Weather Strikes"
Space travel is fraught with nature's dangers. Lightning nearly scuttles Apollo 12, solar flares threaten the space station, and a cold snap leads to the Challenger disaster.
"Failure at Re-Entry"
Launching a spacecraft is hard, but U.S. and Soviet disasters show that getting safely back to Earth is even harder; engineers face huge challenges for a safe splashdown.
"First Generation"
The U.S. and Soviet Union's early space programs face incredible engineering challenges, but catastrophic losses are converted into victories of engineering and the human spirit.
