Az ötvenes évek vége: az Egyesült Államok elképesztő hajszával igyekszik legyőzni az űrversenyben Oroszországot. De már úgy tűnik, pénz, ész és elszántság mind kevés lehet… amikor találnak néhány kiaknázatlan, kihasználatlan lángeszet, akiket addig senkinek nem jutott eszébe használni. Hiszen többszörösen gyanúsak: nők és feketék. A három nő igazi emberi kompjúter: senki nem érti, hogyan képesek megcsinálni azokat a számításokat, amiket végeznek, de rakétasebességgel emelkednek a NASA ranglétráján, ott, ahol a kor legnagyobb tudósai dolgoznak. A cél: John Glennt feljuttatni az űrbe… és azután haza is hozni.

Az ötvenes években az emberiség még félelemmel vegyes ámulattal figyelte az ismeretlen, titokzatos és veszélyes világűrt. Miután a szovjetek 1957-ben fellőtték az első Szputnyikot, Amerikában nekikezdtek egy olyan űrhajó elkészítésének, mellyel embert küldhetnek a világűrbe. A legjobb pilótákból 1959-re válogatták össze azt a hétfős csapatot, melynek tagjai közül kerül ki az első amerikai űrhajós. "Az Igazak"-nak hívták őket, akiket egységes csapattá, igaz barátokká kovácsolt a hatalmas feladat. A szovjetek azonban újból megelőzik őket, első emberként Gagarin jár a világűrben.

Alex arra készül, hogy a pusztuló Földről a Marsra költözzön egy privát kolóniaprogramban és maga mögött hagyja testvérét gyászoló szüleit és virágfarmjukat. Ám egy biztosítási ügynök ráébreszti, hogy űrutazás helyett jobb két lábbal a Földön állni.

Földönkívüliek szállnak le az amerikai hadsereg egyik bázisán. A zombikra emlékeztető lények két tudós - Dr. Russ Marvin és menyasszonya, Carol - segítségét kérik bolygójuk megmentéséhez. Ám a katonaság ágyútűzzel fogadja a csészealjakat, s az idegenek kénytelenek bosszút állni a támadásért. Képes lesz Marvin rátalálni a tökéletes fegyverre, és megoltalmazni az emberiséget?

In 1962, spurred by the Cold War, President John F. Kennedy famously made the bold proclamation that NASA would send astronauts to the moon by the end of the decade, not because it was easy, but because it was a challenge. The Space Race inspired a generation to pursue careers in science and technology, but as the balance of world power shifted, interest in space exploration declined. "Fight for Space" serves as an urgent call to re-awaken our sense of wonder and discovery.

The making of the motion picture "Apollo 13", as well as the story of the space mission it details. Featuring interviews with director Ron Howard, astronaut Jim Lovell, his wife Marilyn Lovell, producer Brian Grazer, executive producer Todd Hallowell, visual effects supervisor Robert Legato, lead digital compositor Mark Forker, astronauts Fred Haise and Dave Scott, Apollo 13 flight director Gerald Griffin, command module systems controller Sy Lieberglot, Apollo 13 flight dynamics officer Jerry Bostick, mission control director Gene Krantz, Tom Kelly of Grumman, NASA mission operations director Christopher Kraft, daughters Susan Lovell Williams and Margaret Haise, command systems module controller John Aaron, and actors Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, Gary Sinise, Kathleen Quinlan, and Ed Harris.

In 1961, no one believed President Kennedy’s pledge to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. To win the race to space, the USA needed to create a multi-billion dollar space program. Using stunning NASA footage, this inspirational film tells the story of the colossal challenges NASA faced to fulfill Kennedy's pledge. With the accolade of flying 24 men safely to the moon, Saturn V is considered one of mankind's greatest technological achievements. This is the story of the most powerful machine ever built, and the men and women who believed it could fly.

NASA must devise a strategy to return Apollo 13 to Earth safely after the spacecraft undergoes massive internal damage putting the lives of the three astronauts on board in jeopardy.

All of the necessary technologies required to reach the Moon was first tested during Project Gemini, which comprised of ten missions in the mid-1960s.

Europe and the United States are working together on an unprecedented journey to learn more about the impact of the Sun on our planet, to really know what its atmosphere is like and how it affects our environment; since solar radiation increasingly affects our lives and telecommunications.

The first American space station Skylab is found in pieces scattered in Western Australia. Putting these pieces back together and re-tracing the Skylab program back to its very conception reveals the cornerstone of human space exploration.

A few days after his grandfather's death, young Igor decides to make a documentary about the history of his family in an attempt to understand why his grandfather, Guilhermino, was obsessed with strange facts that had happened in his city.

A long time ago, years before Elon Musk reached for the stars with his Space X project, a young man had his own childhood dream about a journey into space. This documentary tells the fantastic story of German astrophysicist Lutz Kayser who developed the world's first private space company. He did this under the curious and concerned eyes of secret services around the world.

The spectacular moon landing in 1969 was also a success of more than 100 technicians and engineers from Germany, some of whom had already revolutionized weapons technology and built rockets in Hitler's service during World War II.

A film crew was granted unprecedented access to NASA and to SpaceX headquarters, giving viewers a rare glimpse inside Launch Control and firsthand accounts from SpaceX founder and chief engineer Elon Musk, Bridentstine and the astronauts flying the mission: Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley.

This popular science documentary offers insights into a physiology laboratory conducting intensive investigations into the possibility of humans living in a space. Gravity experiments demonstrate how the human body might react in various conditions or using a centrifuge to test the effects of acceleration force on human tissue. In addition to presenting investigations into the psychology of loneliness, the film also shows how weightlessness is simulated aboard an airplane in free fall.

Track the evolution of Huntsville, Alabama, from the "Watercress Capital of the World" to "Rocket City, USA," Wernher von Braun's journey from German Rocket Engineer to American Hero, and the role this unlikely combination played in thrusting the United States into the forefront of the Space Age.
