At NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory visualization specialist Robert Hurt breaks down the plausibility of sci-fi planets and galaxies in “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” and “Alien."

In 2004 scientists discovered a large, near-earth asteroid named Apophis. Initially, it was predicted to impact the earth in 2029, leading to global devastation. Thankfully, it’s now expected to miss. Physicist Marina Brozovic from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory explains how her team used measurements and statistics to track the potentially catastrophic mass.

As a physicist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Marina Brozovic studies and measures near-earth asteroids—you know, the ones that can potentially cause catastrophic damage. Watch as Brozovic explains how her team tracks the orbit of these large masses and how NASA would prepare if one were to come barreling towards earth.

Technologically we may be close to sending astronauts to Mars, but is the human body ready for it? Dr. Camille Alleyne from the International Space Station Program describes how the six to eight month trip to Mars could cause vision impairment, muscle atrophy, and bone density loss, and she explains how scientists plan to counteract those issues.

Two NASA astronauts take us on a tour of the T-38 plane, which can fly faster than the speed of sound and has been used to train astronauts since 1961.
