Earlier this year, the space shuttle Atlantis sat waiting, as there were problems that needed to be ironed out before it could be launched
on its mission to the Hubble Telescope, itself needing urgent repairs. With a major fault in one of its mirrors, it seemed the telescope
was destined to be the world’s most expensive piece of junk. Recently a new car made its debut. The Panamera by Porsche is the
company’s grand touring sports car. It retains the looks of the traditional Porsche, but has four doors. It also has space – a feature not
generally associated with the Porsche name. Meanwhile in China, electric bikes look set to take over from traditional push-bikes as
there is less peddling involved, and it’s a fast and effective way to bypass traffic congestion.

A definitive, primetime guide, The Space Age: Nasa's Story offers a fresh look at an amazing organisation and mankind's quest to understand the universe. Blending stunningly restored footage with revealing, insightful and engaging interviews with the people who were there - the astronauts, family members and journalists - this is an epic story of the heroes, the triumphs and the tragedies of space exploration. Starting with NASA's beginnings in the Cold War, the series follows the iconic moments of space exploration from the race to get the first man in space to the first steps on the moon. And with triumph and achievement comes risk and disaster, as the series follows the white-knuckle suspense of Apollo 13 and the tragedy of the shuttle Challenger. Intelligent, inspiring and accessible, The Space Age is a complete history of mankind's journey into space.
