Building Stuff: Inventing New Ways to Explore | Full Documentary | NOVA | PBS

Humans are born to roam. See how engineers are inventing new ways to explore and extend our range. From the time our species first evolved, we’ve been on the move. Not content to stay in one place, we’ve imagined and invented and built our way from one place to the next. From deep sea subs to wind-resistant skyscrapers to next-gen space habitats, see how today’s engineers are designing and building creative new ways for us to get all around – and even off – our planet.
