Humanity from Space | PBS Programs | PBS

  1. This program is a spectacle worth watching especially on a big screen TV. It traces humanities history from space so it is a very holistic point of view of looking at the history of mankind and how we are really not multiple cultures so much as one giant media centered culture and civilization. 

    You appear to be able to watch a full episode here but I'm not sure for how much longer. I was able to get this to load as a video by clicking the word button in the next line and then once there clicking the play button on the video window there.

    More About the Program
    From the global perspective of space, this 2-hour special reveals the breathtaking extent of our influence, revealing how we’ve transformed our planet and produced an interconnected world of extraordinary complexity.
    A journey through 12,000 years, Humanity from Space shows how seemingly small flashes of innovation have changed the course of civilization; innovations that touch all of us today in ways unimaginable to our ancestors. And we’ll gaze into the future at the new challenges we’ll face in order to survive as our global population soars because of our success. In every case we’ll look at our progression in a unique and surprising way, revealing unforgettable facts and "who knew?" connections.
    To visualize these stories cutting-edge technology is used to turn raw data into authentic moving images, building on expertise from a previous (and highly-praised) project; "Earth From Space." Using this technique, we can map humanity’s behavior in stunning, never seen before detail, revealing how our civilization grew, how it works today and what the future might hold.

    Humanity From Space was produced by
    Darlow Smithson Productions and Handel Productions Inc.
