In this episode, he explores the latest science and takes a new look at his old films and asks: how far can we go in our exploration of the cosmos?<\/p>\n<p>Brian begins in Russia\u2019s cosmonaut training facility in the outskirts of Moscow, where he dons a spacesuit to discover what &#8216;the right stuff&#8217; is and what it might take to carry out maintenance on the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/International_Space_Station\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Space Station<\/a> in low earth orbit. It is an eye-opening experience that reveals just how physically demanding being an astronaut can be.<\/p>\n<p>He then looks at some of the most extraordinary achievements of space exploration to date. Under the clear sky of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Atlas_Mountains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Atlas Mountains<\/a>, he tells the story of how we started to explore the cosmos from earth. Careful observation of &#8216;wandering stars&#8217;, now known as the planets, initially led our ancestors to believe that Earth, not the sun, was at the centre of our solar system. But as our knowledge of the cosmos grew, so did our appetite to explore; eventually technology made it possible for us to take our first steps towards the stars. In <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Star_City,_Russia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Russia\u2019s Star City<\/a>, Brian visits the office of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yuri_Gagarin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yuri Gagarin<\/a>, the first man in space. At <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kennedy_Space_Center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cape Kennedy Space Centre<\/a> he marvels at the enormous <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Saturn_V\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saturn V<\/a> rocket that launched the first men to the moon. Brian reflects on the difficulties of filming this giant machine, and on his encounters with the extraordinary men who flew in it to the moon.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to the future, Brian recalls his meeting with aerospace engineer and visionary advocate of Mars exploration <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robert_Zubrin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Zubrin<\/a>. He\u2019s credited with inspiring <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elon_Musk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elon Musk<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jeff_Bezos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeff Bezos<\/a> to develop rockets with the aim of making the red planet the next frontier of human space exploration.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Cox concludes that Mars will be the limit of human space exploration in our lifetime \u2013 our bodies can\u2019t withstand the demands of travelling much deeper into the cosmos. To explore further, we must send robots in our place. Brian reveals some of his favourite probes to have uncovered the wonders of our solar system. This includes <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Voyager_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Voyager 1<\/a>, whose iconic image of Earth from deep space taught us the true value of exploration: perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div class='GTTabsNavigation' style='display:none'><span class='GTTabs_nav_next'><a href='#GTTabs_ul_18944' onClick='GTTabs_show(1,18944)'>2. <strong>Aliens: Are We Alone?<\/strong> &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='GTTabs_divs' id='GTTabs_1_18944'>\n<span class='GTTabs_titles'><b>2. <strong>Aliens: Are We Alone?<\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style><div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/embed\/video\/x81si6w\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Brian Cox looks at our attempts to answer one of the most profound questions we can ask \u2013 are we alone in the universe? With scientists sending space probes to the furthest reaches of our solar system and beyond, the scientific search for alien life has begun.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by a childhood love of science fiction, Brian still hopes to hear from ET.

Recent scientific breakthroughs are challenging physicists\u2019 ideas of the very nature of reality.<\/p>\n<p>He recalls some of his most iconic TV moments: being first on the scene to meet a space capsule returning three astronauts from the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/International_Space_Station\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Space Station<\/a>; demonstrating how a bowling ball and feather fall at the same speed in the largest vacuum chamber in the world; filming in a prison wired up to explode; and standing on a majestic snowy mountain peak to explain the nature of spacetime.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst revisiting his previous programmes, he takes us on a tour of gravity, explaining how Sir <a href=\"https:\/\/pt.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Isaac_Newton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isaac Newton<\/a> devised a simple formula to describe gravity as a force that governs both how apples fall and how planets move in the heavens. He explores some of gravity\u2019s stranger features, explaining how this comparatively weak force becomes the most dominant in the universe when it comes to the celestial mechanics of the cosmos: sculpting our solar system and even destroying stars.<\/p>\n<p>Using the world\u2019s largest vacuum chamber in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Space_Power_Facility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA\u2019s Space Power Facility<\/a> in Cleveland, Ohio, Brian demonstrates how gravity makes objects fall at the same rate, explaining how this led <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Albert_Einstein\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Einstein<\/a> to his &#8216;happiest thought&#8217; and the radical rethinking of the nature of space and time. Brian also explains how our contemporary study of one of gravity\u2019s strangest creations, black holes, is leading us to yet more revolutionary, and in his words &#8216;bonkers&#8217;, views of the universe we live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div class='GTTabsNavigation' style='display:none'><span class='GTTabs_nav_prev'><a href='#GTTabs_ul_18944' onClick='GTTabs_show(1,18944)'>&lt;&lt; 2. <strong>Aliens: Are We Alone?<\/strong><\/a><\/span><span class='GTTabs_nav_next'><a href='#GTTabs_ul_18944' onClick='GTTabs_show(3,18944)'>4. <strong>What Is Time?<\/strong> &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='GTTabs_divs' id='GTTabs_3_18944'>\n<span class='GTTabs_titles'><b>4. <strong>What Is Time?<\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style><div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/embed\/video\/x823lr5\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Brian explores a simple question that is causing a big stir today: what is time? Modern science shows it to be far stranger than we think. He recalls some highlights from his TV series that touch upon different aspects of this physics conundrum: from a mindboggling encounter with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Doctor_Who\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Doctor Who<\/a>, to breaking the sound barrier in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurofighter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eurofighter<\/a> in order to see two sunsets in one day, to witnessing one of the oldest animal life cycles on earth on a remote beach in Costa Rica.
