The research, sacrifice and innovation behind the Apollo moon landing on July 22, 1969.

Just as the Vietnam War is ending, another begins next door; a Khmer Rouge attack on U.S. interests in Cambodia leave American soldiers trapped in harm's way.

Exploing a supermassive black hole in the heart of our own Milky Way Galaxy.

From carrying atomic bombs over the North Pole to flying over live volcanoes as Sean Connery's body double, explore the life of Ken Wallis; the inventor's passion for aviation keeps him airborne even into his nineties.

Netherlands-based Mars One has a plan to land humans on Mars in 2027.

During World War II, the fastest British jets can reach 500 miles per hour; with the sound barrier at 720 miles per hour, the British leap to create a supersonic jet is an unprecedented challenge.

Having developed a jet engine, the Nazis endeavored to use it where it was needed most, to stop the D-Day invasion; for this task they dreamed up two wild-looking jet aircraft that flew with the engine mounted on their backs.

Made mainly of wood, the German Me 162 Last Stand jet fighter was assembled with slave labor; it worked, but came too late to help them stop the Allied advance.

While humans debate which is worse, dwindling resources or planet-killing celestial bodies, new breakthroughs in extra-planetary surveying and rocket propulsion are revealing the dichotomy of asteroids.

Drones head into outer space with the Mars Helicopter's success paving the way for Dragonfly, a daring future mission to Titan.

Since fighter planes lack enough fuel to trek deep into enemy territory, engineers find ways for fighters to bring along their supplies.

On the 50th anniversary of Apollo 13, Cmdr. Jim Lovell and NASA engineers recall the ingenuity and superhuman efforts that turned a potential space flight disaster into an extraordinary fight for survival.

For the first time, scientists have captured a photograph of a black hole which verifies one of the most important theories in physics and might help unlock the greatest mysteries of the cosmos.

Undeterred by setback, the Miles brothers press on after the warand try to overcome economic hurdles to keep their company and the Aerovan alive.

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