Follow today's technicians as they reach for the stars by learning from these lessons of the past.Source: The Smithsonian ChannelGCC51minDec 30, 2013
3. Open for BusinessSpace is no longer just for governments. Little companies with big ideas are now reaching for the skies, making commercial human spaceflight a reality. Private businesses are investing big and aiming high, building their own rockets and orbiters, deploying commercial satellites to connect the globe, and preparing for space tourism. NASA's shuttle may have been grounded, but for corporations, the sky is no longer the limit.Source: The Smithsonian ChannelGCC46minJan 6, 2014
4. Surviving the VoidA mission to Mars may seem like the stuff of science fiction, but NASA is working to make it a reality. But one big question remains: can the human body withstand this 34-million-mile odyssey? See how modern science is preparing today's astronauts for our next adventures into the deadly void of outer space. The experiences of our first astronauts are helping engineers create new technology to overcome the biggest obstacle to long-term space travel: our human bodies.Source: The Smithsonian ChannelGCC51minJan 13, 2014
