This is a highly informative program detailing man's explorations of our planet and the sea of space through which it travels. The narrator, Patrick Stewart, chronicles major exploratory feats and their significance in human history. The early explorations of Columbus, Captain James Cook and Lewis and Clark are discussed in detail as well as those who explored beyond the Earth including Kepler, Newton and Galileo. Finally, the more recent explorations of James Maxwell, the Wright Brothers, Konstantin Tsiolkovski, and Robert Goddard give a historical perspective to the events that paved the way for the modern exploration of the planets and the Cosmos.
