AIR & SPACE
On now
Secret Nazi Planes
US troops liberating the Bavarian sector found the strange swing wing jet fighter, which the Germans called the P1011. A reporter took a photo, and when the newspaper picture hit the desks at the Pentagon, US experts jumped on a plane for Germany.
Upcoming
Breakthrough
On August 2, 2020, two NASA astronauts plunged back to Earth aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule. Witness their historic flight, from the first manned launch from the US in nearly a decade to the first splashdown attempt since the Apollo era.
Secret Nazi Planes
During WWII, Germany explored every option of striking the US. They considered submarines, rockets from space, and the mighty 4-engine bomber program that became known as the Amerika Bomber.
Bright Now
Solar sails, the latest in space travel technology, could one day help us reach nearby stars. Then, it was discovered in 2017, but while we observed it, the mystery surrounding it grew.
Strange Planes
When atomic energy first became available as a power source, engineers dreamed of a plane that wouldn’t have to land and refuel. There were several US and Soviet attempts to deploy an autonomous atomic-powered aircraft, and even an atomic powered long range cruise missile.
The Search for Earth's Lost Moon
The area around our Earth is full of blind spots, unexpected visitors, hidden dangers and potential cosmic treasures. Follow this scientific quest to understand the origins of a mysterious asteroid—right in Earth’s backyard—that some have called our “other moon.”

Birth of the Solar System
The birth of our Solar System was both violent and chaotic. As planets formed around our Sun, gravity and luck determined their fate: some are tossed into the Sun, others thrown into interstellar space, never to return. It is survival of the fittest, on an interplanetary scale.
Secret Nazi Planes
During WWII, Hitler was desperate to strike the US war machine. So strong was the priority that Germany actually had three serious options for an “Amerika Bomber.” Some flew, but none would ever reach their intended target.
Breakthrough
The ICARUS system monitors the movements and behaviors of Earth’s creatures from space. An antenna mounted on the International Space Station receives data from tiny trackers attached to animals and birds, opening the door to new discoveries that can warn us of natural disasters and outbreaks.
Secret Nazi Planes
The German Me 262: Sleek, fast and heavily armed it was a quantum leap in fighter technology. Considered by many to be the world’s first jet fighter it was in fact a distant second.
Breakthrough
For the first time in decades, NASA is sending two new missions to Venus designed to study and explore the planet’s atmosphere and earth-like composition. Together, DAVINCI and VERITAS will provide a new, 360º view of Venus -- its history, and perhaps a window into Earth’s past as well.
Secret Nazi Planes
The restrictions placed on Germany after WWI rightly left the Nazi’s few options in technical innovation for military purposes. One loophole was the liquid powered rocket, a revolutionary way of powering aircraft and missiles that Germany would take to devastating new levels.

Deep in the mountains of West Virginia, the Green Bank Observatory has been receiving a mysterious signal from deep space. Then, we explore the outer reaches of space to answer one of the great questions of all time: Are we alone in the Universe?

In the minds of American military planners, the promise of intercepting Russian bombers far before they reached the American heartland was simply too appealing to ignore. And hence the long-range Mach 3 "Rapier" was born. As one of the missing ‘century series’ fighters, the XF-108 interceptor had great promise.
