Failure to Launch. The tragedies and missteps in our attempts to conquer space. First moments are the most dangerous. From Sputnik to SpaceX, millions of litres of fuel ignites and sometimes explodes.
When Weather Strikes. Space travel is fraught with nature's dangers. Lightning nearly scuttles Apollo 12. Solar flares threaten the space station. And a cold snap leads to the Challenger disaster.
The Human Factor. There's no escaping human error, no matter how good the technology. The tragedies and missteps in our attempt to conquer space - as well as the knowledge gained from these tragedies

Fixing on the Fly. Trouble-shooting in space can be a matter of life and death, from deep-space collisions to deadly chemical leaks. Astronauts are forced to innovate to survive.
Failure at Re-Entry. Launching a spacecraft is hard, but US & Soviet disasters show that getting safely back to Earth is even harder. Engineers face huge challenges for a safe splashdown.
First Generation. The US and Soviet Union's early space programmes face incredible engineering challenges, but catastrophic losses are converted into victories of engineering and the human spirit.
