You don’t have to time travel far beyond
Channel 4’s own
website to find out much more about space:
Ascent
of Mars Mountain
www.channel4.com/science/microsites/S/science/space/marsmountain.html
Mars gets a lot of attention from us Earthlings. So what about a
trip out there? Could Mars support an intrepid team of pioneers
to explore the valleys and climb the mountains?
International
Space Station
www.channel4.com/science/microsites/S/science/space/news_iss.html
The International Space Station will be a 454-tonne sophisticated
scientific outpost, floating in space. Will it change the course
of human history, or is it too costly with too little scientific
return?
Rocket
Timeline
www.channel4.com/science/microsites/S/science/space/rocket_timeline.html
Find out about the key events in the history of space travel from
400BC to the present.

The
Long Lost Moon
www.channel4.com/science/microsites/S/science/space/lostmoon.html
'We knew even before we flew Apollo 17 that we'd be the last Apollo
mission, but I never believed, ever, that I'd be standing here over
a quarter of a century later and still be the last man to have walked
on the Moon', says one of the original Apollo astronauts. Why have
we forgotten the moon?
Hubble
Space Telescope
www.channel4.com/science/microsites/S/science/space/biog_hubble.html
Italy, 1610, and a scientific revolution was about to take place.
On one clear evening, Galileo Galilei turned a telescope towards
the heavens for the first time. What he observed revolutionised
our perception of the universe forever. Today we are in the midst
of another astronomical revolution. The Hubble Space Telescope,
a similar yet vastly superior instrument, is providing an enlightening
new window on the universe.
Staying
Sane in Space
www.channel4.com/science/microsites/S/science/space/stayingsane.html
It's day 145 of your 720-day round trip to Mars. You sit staring
into the oppressive blackness of space. Earth has long since shrunk
to a bright blue-green glow. Mars is still over half a year away.
You're suddenly hit with a wave of desperation – how will
you get through the rest of the journey?
Mir
Space Station
www.channel4.com/science/microsites/S/science/space/biog_mir.html
It hosted the longest human stay in space, survived an onboard fire
and a collision with a visiting module. For 15 years, Mir's maze
of tunnelling orbited 330 kilometres above our heads, before it
ditched into the Pacific Ocean.
