From Green Airplanes to Space Tourism: How We'll Travel in the Future | Shapers of Tomorrow (1/8)

We move around… always going faster and further. Whether it’s in the air or even in space, research is progressing and giving us the ability to travel. But this traveling has a significant impact on the planet. Indeed, 100,000 plane flights take place each day, which means more than 30 million per year around the world. The impact of air traffic on the environment has doubled in 20 years and air pollution is constantly increasing. At the same time, research is progressing and offering the first journeys into space to individuals. In light of this, could we possibly build airplanes that are less damaging to the environment? What will the planes and rockets of the future look like? How will we get around in the tomorrow’s world?

How the Cold War Sparked the Space Race - Sputnik, ICBMs and Superpower Rivalry

The Soviet Union’s first atomic bomb in 1949 set off a fierce Cold War arms and space race. Discover how nuclear weapons and rocket technology changed history forever. In this captivating episode, we dive into the dramatic events following the Soviet Union’s detonation of its first atomic weapon, Joe-1, in 1949. Learn how this pivotal moment shattered America’s nuclear monopoly and launched a high-stakes contest between superpowers. From espionage in the Manhattan Project to the secret efforts of Klaus Fuchs, the video traces the rapid escalation in nuclear and missile technology on both sides. You’ll explore the crucial roles of Wernher von Braun, the V2 rocket program, and the race to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles like the Atlas and R-7. We follow the parallel paths of American and Soviet innovation - from the tragic tale of Albert the monkey’s spaceflight to the triumph and panic of Sputnik’s launch in 1957. See how political shifts, such as Eisenhower’s presidency and Khrushchev’s reforms, shaped military strategy and scientific ambition. As NASA is born and the Van Allen Belt is discovered, the stakes

NASA Just Shut Off One of Voyager 1's Last Working Instruments

On April 17, 2026, engineers in California sent a command into the dark. It traveled for almost a full day. Then, 15 billion miles away, a sensor that had worked since 1977 went silent. Voyager 1 just lost one of its last working instruments. The farthest explorer humans ever built is running out of power. Its nuclear heart fades a little more every year. Each watt now decides what lives and what goes dark. You probably think of Voyager as a finished story. A famous probe from the past. However, the drama is happening right now, at the edge of everything we know. In this journey, we follow that last command. We ride a dying nuclear battery. We watch engineers gamble on a risky fix called the Big Bang. And we cross the invisible border where our Sun's power ends. Before we begin, one quick thing.

What Voyager Found Beyond the Planets

In the vast dark, a small machine has traveled farther than anything humans have ever built. Two golden records ride aboard it, carrying humanity's voice into forever. We ride along as it nearly gets destroyed threading through a field of rocks, uncovers a moon exploding with fire, and finds a planet spinning completely sideways. We follow it to a photo of Earth so small it barely fills a single pixel. Buckle in. This story starts at the edge of everything we know.
