Narrated by Patrick Stewart of Star Trek, Space Age is a broad overview of the history of space exploration. Produced in association with the National Academy of Science, each video uses interviews, footage, and extensive computer animation to examine human encounters with the final frontier. This episode examines how technology, once applied only to the heavens, is now being turned towards Earth in an effort to better understand our own world, as a precursor to living on another.
