Explores space stations, lunar bases, and Mars landings as possible solutions to earth's environmental and overpopulation problems. Questions cover both positive and negative aspects of this ambitious, speculative future.
In the first segment, a shuttle astronaut compares eating, sleeping, bathing, and working and relaxing in space with life on earth. The second segment focuses on Newton's Three Laws of Motion as the astronaut demonstrates them with cans of pudding.
The Red Planet, with the most similar environment to Earth in the entire solar system, is a third alternative being explored for colonization. The discovery of ice on its surface has excited and encouraged many space scientists despite the many challenges to establishing a colony on Mars. Part of the "Space Colonies" series.
How can cake ingredients be whipped into a moon-like crater? A scientist from NASA demonstrates how to construct craters out of household items. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
Examines the history and future of manned space stations. Covers the Russian Mir's 14-year stay in space and its replacement by the International Space Station in 2000. Reviews the purpose of the U.S. Space Shuttle, the loss of Challenger and Columbia, and the effect the shuttle's grounding has on the ISS. Notes how astronauts live on the ISS, and emphasizes that the space station offers an opportunity for international cooperation and discovery.
In this episode, visit the Kennedy Space Center located on Florida's famous "Space Coast." NASA engineers discuss the past, present, and future of American space travel. Museum staff also explain the various attractions the Kennedy Space Center has to offer visitors. Part of the “Travel Thru History” series.
Examines the similarities and differences between Mars and Earth. Comments on the size, color, atmosphere, and temperature of Mars. Includes footage from recent missions to Mars and speculates on possible manned space flights to the Red Planet.
The moon’s proximity to Earth, as well as the discovery of water there, have placed this natural satellite front and center as a viable location for the first interstellar colony. In fact, the director of the European Space Agency has already outlined plans for a “moon village.” However, this is not without challenges. Part of the "Space Colonies" series.
Introduces students to our planet Earth and its place in the solar system. Explains that Earth's unique position makes it conducive to life. Also explains the basics of earth science, including the water cycle, weather, and continents. Short review.
Hannah has a science project due tomorrow, but it is her bedtime. As she tries to hurry and finish her model of space, some musical friends pay her a visit and explain why space is a cool place. Part of the "Space School Musical" series.
What are stars, and where do they come from? Briefly discusses the life cycle of a star, their colors, and super nova. Includes the Hubble Space Telescope, how stars were used in history, and constellations. Offers a short review.
A scientist from NASA explains the basic characteristics of a comet. Students will make their own comet by using a wide range of craft materials. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
Bill Nye unravels the mysteries of solar-powered space travel. See how NASA's “Juno” spacecraft uses the power of the sun to make the long journey to Jupiter. Part of the “Why With Nye” series.
Recent discoveries of water at the moon’s poles and on Mars have encouraged scientists to develop projects that will enable humans to settle in these harsh, distant environments in the near future. This episode explores the challenges of setting up an orbital space colony or a settlement on an asteroid. Part of the "Space Colonies" series.
Learn about the Voyager 2 mission to Neptune in this video from NASA. Voyager 2 reached Neptune in 1989 and discovered the planet appears due to the methane in its atmosphere. The mission also revealed Neptune has at least four rings, six moons, and an interesting weather system.
