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

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?

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.
