Summary: For the first time since the Cold War the Moon is inspiring a race. But this time around winning is not about proving military might – it’s about cold hard cash! The Moon’s enormous mineral wealth could create the world’s first trillionaires. Viewers will meet engineers trying to fashion moon bases out of underground lava tubes, or 3D-print a lunar colony using moon dust. Competing against all these Moon 2.0 startups is the world’s new superpower, China. Who will be the first to stake claim to the riches of the Moon?

Summary: Asteroids have decimated life on Earth before and they will again. Across the globe, scientists, engineers and astronauts are gearing up for a cosmic battle to hunt asteroids and prevent them from hitting us. In this episode viewers will meet the experts building new telescopes and space probes to detect the estimated one million asteroids out there that could wipe out an entire city. We’ll explore plans to knock an incoming asteroid off course with a kamikaze spacecraft, or to shoot asteroids down with giant space lasers. And we go inside the craziest NASA mission ever proposed – to capture an asteroid in deep space with a giant bag and move it to the Moon.

Summary: For decades humans have dreamed of going to Mars, and now we're finally on the brink of blasting off for the red planet. SpaceX founder Elon Musk believes Mars is our insurance policy in case Earth becomes uninhabitable. With unprecedented access into SpaceX, viewers will see the engineers making our mission to occupy Mars a reality. Future "Marsonauts" are already learning how to survive on a frozen desert by practicing in the wilds of Utah. An aerospace engineer is designing the spacesuit that will shield us from the harsh Martian environment and give us superhuman strength. SpaceX hopes to get to Mars in about two decades, but another space startup, Mars One, thinks it can get humans there in just ten years. The only catch - it's a one-way trip, with no chance of ever coming home.
