Will You Travel to Space?
The private space-race has been on for a while now. The attention has been on Space-X and Blue Origin with their reusable rockets. But there’s one private space program that’s been doing things a little differently. Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic isn’t building rockets at all – it’s building spaceships. And I got to sit down and talk to him about it.

The Interplanetary Internet
https://www.hover.com/CuriousDroid Whilst the internet has become integral to most people’s lives it was only in 2010 that the International Space Station could use apps like Twitter because the connection speed was so slow. In fact, communication with spacecraft out past mars becomes very slow and problematic. However, in the future, high-speed internet connections will be available out into the solar system that will not only give coverage of what’s available here out there but also dramatically speed up the currently very slow communications to space missions both manned and unmanned. In this video, we look at how this will happen. This video is sponsored by Hover.com : https://www.hover.com/CuriousDroid Guest AuthorAll…

The Holographic Universe Explained
We live in a universe with 3 dimensions of space and one of time. Up, down, left, right, forward, back, past, future. 3+1 dimensions. Or so our primitive Pleistocene-evolved brains find it useful to believe. And we cling to this intuition, even as physics shows us that this view of reality may be only a very narrow perception. One of the most startling possibilities is that our 3+1 dimensional universe may better be described as resulting from a spacetime one dimension lower – like a hologram projected from a surface infinitely far away.

Did Life on Earth Come from Space?
How did life on Earth get started? Did life on Earth originate on another planet? Either Mars, or in a distant solar system? Could Earth life have spread to have seeded life elsewhere? Let’s see what modern science has to say about the plausibility of panspermia.

How Do Spacecraft Photograph The Planets
https://brilliant.org/CuriousDroid Ever wondered how we can take those amazing images of the planets from spacecraft and get them back to earth for scientific study and just to see what they really look like. Well in this video we do just that and see how they developed and some of the challenges they have to solve in order to do so.

What Happens To Old Space Craft?
What happens to old spacecraft?. We know when new ones are launched and sometimes when they don’t make it to where they are going but after that, they just seem to go quiet. From the very first man-made object to orbit the earth to the ISS we look at where do they end up.

You Won’t Believe How the First Spy Satellites Worked
When the first Spy satellites were put into orbit they were a long way from the type of reconnaissance satellites and even Google Earth that we are used to now and you won’t believe what they did to get the images back to Earth. This is the story of project Corona and how it changed the way we look at the world.

Why Did We Test Nukes in Space?
At a time when the game of nuclear chicken very nearly got out of hand the superpowers continued to test nuclear weapons in space with both surprising and frightening consequences. In this video we look at why we needed to test nukes in space.

Supersymmetric Particle Found?
With the large hadron collider running out of places to look for clues to a deeper theory of physics, we need a bigger particle accelerator. We have one – the galaxy.
