NASA's Parker Probe Plus is on a mission to fly through dangerous radiation to become the closest spaceship to orbit the enigmatic sun.

When the Soviets cloned the B-29, the United States suddenly faced the possibility that their own weapon would be used against them and deliver a deadly nuclear strike.

Evolutionary biologist Dr. Scott Solomon foresees a series of changes to our species from the size of our hearts and heads to the pigments in our skin.

In the late 1960s, the USAF was looking for a new dogfighter to defeat the latest Soviet MiGs and steal the thunder from the new Navy fighter. A desperate Air Force would turn to a brilliant but brash pilot, John Boyd.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is designed to land on an asteroid to collect samples.

After several the Nazi research facilities were obliterated by RAF bombers, a super-advanced swing wing jet fighter project was moved to a tunnel in the Bavarian mountains.

When atomic energy first becomes available as a power source, U.S. and Soviet engineers dream of a plane that doesn't have to land and refuel.

The area around the Earth is full of blind spots, unexpected visitors, hidden dangers, and potential cosmic treasures; this scientific quest examines the origins of a mysterious asteroid that some have called the "other moon.".

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.

On May 30, 2020, NASA launched SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule from Cape Canaveral - the first manned flight from American soil in nearly a decade.

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.

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.

The ICARUS system monitors the movements and behaviors of Earth's creatures by using an antenna mounted on the International Space Station to collect tracking data, opening the door to new discoveries that might warn of natural disasters.

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.

For the first time in decades, NASA is sending two new missions to Venus designed to study and explore the planet's atmosphere, Earth-like composition and history.

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.

The birth of the solar system was violent and chaotic as planets formed, and gravity and luck determined their fates.

Deep in the mountains of West Virginia, mysterious signal from deep space has been received by the Green Bank Observatory, home of the world's largest steerable radio telescope.

Designed by Ernst Heinkel, the He 280 was capable of over 500 miles per hour. But as WWII raged the He 280 was nowhere to be seen; first flown in September 1940, it was two years ahead of Willy Messerschmitt's Me 262.
