Genetically-modified astronauts,

2
At 00:00:04,125, Character said: massive underground bases
on Mars

3
At 00:00:08,208, Character said: and futuristic rockets
that will send humanity

4
At 00:00:12,958, Character said: across the universe.

5
At 00:00:16,667, Character said: Humans have been traveling
through space

6
At 00:00:18,458, Character said: for more than 60 years,
and during that time,

7
At 00:00:21,208, Character said: we've put men on the Moon
and robots on Mars.

8
At 00:00:25,083, Character said: But how much further can we go?

9
At 00:00:28,208, Character said: Will we be able
to send astronauts

10
At 00:00:30,917, Character said: to the far reaches
of the universe?

11
At 00:00:32,792, Character said: And when we arrive
on these strange new worlds

12
At 00:00:36,208, Character said: will that make us...

13
At 00:00:38,625, Character said: alien earthlings?

14
At 00:00:40,333, Character said: Well, that is what
we'll try and find out.

15
At 00:00:43,542, Character said: ♪ ♪

16
At 00:00:56,833, Character said: SHATNER:
Since the dawn of humanity,

17
At 00:00:59,708, Character said: Earth has been the only home
we've ever known.

18
At 00:01:04,500, Character said: Mankind has explored, settled

19
At 00:01:08,208, Character said: and conquered nearly every nook
and cranny of our planet.

20
At 00:01:13,000, Character said: Now, tens of thousands of years
into the age of modern man,

21
At 00:01:17,792, Character said: it seems that the only place
left for us to go

22
At 00:01:21,458, Character said: is up.

23
At 00:01:25,583, Character said: GRAHAM LAU:
For all that we know from our history,

24
At 00:01:28,542, Character said: we humans are explorers
in our very nature.

25
At 00:01:31,292, Character said: And so, it seems to make sense
that we would want to go out

26
At 00:01:33,375, Character said: and explore the other worlds
of our solar system and beyond,

27
At 00:01:37,125, Character said: and maybe even settle there

28
At 00:01:40,333, Character said: to send people
to live, perhaps permanently,

29
At 00:01:44,708, Character said: in the other worlds
that exist out there.

30
At 00:01:47,708, Character said: MICHIO KAKU:
It is a law of physics, practically,

31
At 00:01:51,375, Character said: that one day, we will have
to leave the planet Earth.

32
At 00:01:54,458, Character said: We have to have an escape clause

33
At 00:01:56,208, Character said: in case
something devastating happens

34
At 00:01:58,625, Character said: to threaten the very existence
of human life.

35
At 00:02:01,500, Character said: In fact, one of the goals
of NASA is

36
At 00:02:05,583, Character said: to create a Martian colony
with human inhabitants.

37
At 00:02:09,875, Character said: And so, why not this be
the destiny for humanity

38
At 00:02:14,208, Character said: to become
a multi-planet species?

39
At 00:02:18,042, Character said: But then,
the bigger question is

40
At 00:02:20,042, Character said: is it possible?

41
At 00:02:22,917, Character said: SHATNER:
Could humans really become a multi-planet species?

42
At 00:02:27,000, Character said: For over a century,

43
At 00:02:28,792, Character said: science fiction and fantasy
have explored the concept,

44
At 00:02:31,875, Character said: but what would it actually take

45
At 00:02:36,083, Character said: for us to become
alien earthlings?

46
At 00:02:40,208, Character said: BEN McGEE:
One of the greatest challenges

47
At 00:02:41,917, Character said: in sending humans off-world
is that frontier explorers

48
At 00:02:46,208, Character said: in outer space
are gonna face hazards,

49
At 00:02:48,417, Character said: the likes of which
no humans have had to face.

50
At 00:02:50,500, Character said: It's barren and inhospitable,

51
At 00:02:52,792, Character said: there's a lack of oxygen

52
At 00:02:56,375, Character said: and lack of resources in space,

53
At 00:02:59,125, Character said: so, it's treacherous.

54
At 00:03:01,625, Character said: Self-sufficiency
is going to have to be key,

55
At 00:03:04,500, Character said: and it's gonna be a struggle.

56
At 00:03:06,125, Character said: SHATNER:
The Baikonur Cosmodrome, Russia.

57
At 00:03:09,750, Character said: April 12, 1961.

58
At 00:03:15,125, Character said: A Vostok 1 rocket launches
into the sky,

59
At 00:03:18,542, Character said: carrying only one passenger--

60
At 00:03:21,500, Character said: Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.

61
At 00:03:24,833, Character said: For 108 minutes
of a single orbit around Earth,

62
At 00:03:27,667, Character said: Gagarin becomes
the first human being

63
At 00:03:30,083, Character said: to leave our planet
and journey into space.

64
At 00:03:35,500, Character said: McGEE:
Yuri Gagarin is

65
At 00:03:37,542, Character said: literally the first
alien earthling.

66
At 00:03:39,500, Character said: He was up there
for only about an hour,

67
At 00:03:41,167, Character said: on a Vostok rocket,

68
At 00:03:43,125, Character said: and this is only
a little bit more generous

69
At 00:03:45,708, Character said: than a cannonball
with a human being inside,

70
At 00:03:49,542, Character said: fired all the way up into space
and then falling back.

71
At 00:03:52,750, Character said: So, truly,
these first cosmonauts

72
At 00:03:55,875, Character said: were pioneers
putting themselves at risk.

73
At 00:03:59,042, Character said: Yuri was regarded
almost universally as a hero.

74
At 00:04:01,792, Character said: (cheering)

75
At 00:04:03,625, Character said: He was celebrated the world over

76
At 00:04:05,542, Character said: as the first human being
in space.

77
At 00:04:08,042, Character said: AMY TEITEL:
Gagarin's flight took all of America by surprise,

78
At 00:04:13,042, Character said: and everybody suddenly
kind of stops what they're doing

79
At 00:04:15,458, Character said: to learn about this,
to watch the newsreels.

80
At 00:04:17,792, Character said: And in the 1960s,

81
At 00:04:20,125, Character said: everything about space flight
was unknown at the time.

82
At 00:04:24,542, Character said: They didn't know if astronauts
were gonna lose their minds

83
At 00:04:27,375, Character said: and space madness
would kick in.

84
At 00:04:30,417, Character said: Also, there were questions
like, "Will your eyes distort

85
At 00:04:32,750, Character said: "without gravity,
and you can't see?

86
At 00:04:35,208, Character said: Can you swallow
without gravity?"

87
At 00:04:37,500, Character said: No one knew anything,

88
At 00:04:39,542, Character said: and then Yuri Gagarin
goes into orbit.

89
At 00:04:44,833, Character said: And the reality of humans going
into space is suddenly here.

90
At 00:04:54,500, Character said: SHATNER:
In a speech at Rice University,

91
At 00:04:57,708, Character said: President John F. Kennedy
announces an audacious plan.

92
At 00:05:02,625, Character said: Just 17 months after
the first manned orbit of Earth,

93
At 00:05:06,125, Character said: America is planning
to put a man...

94
At 00:05:08,333, Character said: on the Moon.

95
At 00:05:10,625, Character said: We choose to go to the Moon
in this decade

96
At 00:05:13,875, Character said: and do the other things,

97
At 00:05:15,792, Character said: not because they are easy,
but because they are hard.

98
At 00:05:19,542, Character said: SUSAN KARLIN:
JFK announcing

99
At 00:05:22,208, Character said: that we were gonna
go to the Moon

100
At 00:05:23,625, Character said: ignited imaginations.

101
At 00:05:25,708, Character said: It was tremendously exciting
for the American public.

102
At 00:05:29,750, Character said: However, the engineers
that actually had

103
At 00:05:33,000, Character said: to make it happen
were a little unnerved

104
At 00:05:36,375, Character said: because America was still
at the infancy

105
At 00:05:40,292, Character said: of getting into space.

106
At 00:05:43,917, Character said: At that point, we really didn't
even know what we didn't know.

107
At 00:05:47,583, Character said: Now, this was
a very dangerous thing to do,

108
At 00:05:50,375, Character said: because the Apollo
lunar missions were flown

109
At 00:05:53,042, Character said: right on the edge

110
At 00:05:54,708, Character said: of what are called
"single points of failure."

111
At 00:05:56,542, Character said: If a certain rocket engine
didn't ignite,

112
At 00:05:58,750, Character said: they couldn't leave the surface
of the Moon.

113
At 00:06:00,917, Character said: So, it puts astronauts
in significant danger.

114
At 00:06:06,333, Character said: But this was the nature
of spaceflight then.

115
At 00:06:07,750, Character said: We were taking a lot of chances.

116
At 00:06:20,333, Character said: SHATNER:
In less than seven years

117
At 00:06:22,583, Character said: from JFK's bold proclamation,

118
At 00:06:24,625, Character said: and with the help
of over 400,000 scientists,

119
At 00:06:28,333, Character said: engineers and NASA personnel,

120
At 00:06:30,667, Character said: Apollo 11 launches
into outer space.

121
At 00:06:37,667, Character said: SHATNER:
After a journey

122
At 00:06:39,542, Character said: that lasts four days,
six hours, and 45 minutes,

123
At 00:06:42,917, Character said: the lunar module lands
on the Moon.

124
At 00:06:51,375, Character said: TEITEL:
When Apollo 11 landed on the Moon,

125
At 00:06:53,542, Character said: everyone kind of
stopped to watch,

126
At 00:06:55,458, Character said: because I think
there was probably

127
At 00:06:56,917, Character said: this almost morbid curiosity
of like,

128
At 00:06:58,958, Character said: "If this works, this is amazing,
and if this doesn't work,

129...
