Season 3 | | | |
| 34 :03x02 - Parallel Universes (Nov/18/2008) | | An exploration of the theories behind parallel universes, which includes the use of particle colliders to determine the existence of new dimensions and universes. | | Guest Stars: Michio Kaku as Himself | | | |
| 35 :03x03 - Light Speed (Nov/25/2008) | | An examination of the speed of light, including the quests which are made to beat the light speed barrier. Plus, how light speed enables scientists to look back in time, revealing the way the universe appeared a billion years ago. | | Guest Stars: Alan Guth as Himself, Michio Kaku as Himself, Amy Mainzer as Herself | | | |
| 36 :03x04 - Sex in Space (Dec/02/2008) | | Before man can realize the dream of reproduction in space, a few tests must take place. We must probe the physiological, psychological and cultural challenges of sex in space. From conception to birth, look at how the environments of space exploration may effect copulation, conception and human tissue development, as well as the issues which may arise around sex may impact the emotional lives of astronauts. We'll cut through the rumors of whether sex has already been tried in space and look at how the burgeoning space tourism business may soon lead to a boom in space sex. | | Guest Stars: Michio Kaku as Himself | | | |
| 37 :03x05 - Alien Faces (Dec/09/2008) | | Scientists try to combine both fact and fiction to determine what an alien may look like. They also discuss how Earth creatures offer a guide to understanding possible extraterrestrial life forms. | | Guest Stars: Michio Kaku as Himself, Chris McKay (1) as Himself | | | |
| 38 :03x06 - Deadly Comets and Meteors (Dec/16/2008) | At this very moment, celestial forces prowl the Universe and threaten man's very existence. They're asteroids and comets--and they've left their imprint on planet Earth, literally. Initially, they helped build planets through violent collisions. During this fiery bombardment period, they may have even seeded Earth with water and the building blocks for life. Since the turbulent formation of the solar system, these space rocks have continued to impact earth. Some have been so violent that they've led to mass extinctions events, including one that wiped out the dinosaur. What's more, radical new theories suggest that asteroid and comet dust harbor deadly viruses that may have triggered some of our worst pandemics. The possibility of future cosmic collisions remains a legitimate threat. Yet, despite their dangers, asteroids and comets may hold vital natural resources, which could actually preserve mankind.

| 39 :03x07 - Living in Space (Dec/23/2008) | When mankind eventually leaves the cradle of Earth and ventures forth into the uncharted territories of the cosmos, where, and what form, will our new homes take? Will they be cities under glass, entrenched in distant alien soils? Will they be gleaming metropolises hanging in orbit above our heads, or in the lonely void of space? Will they be hollowed out asteroids, strip-mined for the valuables they horde? How will we grow food? What will the new era of spacesuits be like? The rovers that carry us around? Will robonauts, advanced robotic machines, perform the most dangerous tasks for us? How will we live... in space?

| 40 :03x08 - Stopping Armageddon (Jan/06/2009) | | Can a deadly asteroid be stopped from hitting the Earth? It's only a matter of time until this scenario becomes reality and a rock from space comes down and threatens to wipe out our civilization. This is what happened to the dinosaurs over sixty-five million years ago, will it happen to us? This episode examines the threat and explores the many ways in which experts are proposing to stop Armageddon. | | Guest Stars: Amy Mainzer as Herself | | | |
| 41 :03x09 - Another Earth (Jan/13/2009) | | Is the Earth unique in the universe or does another similar planet lay in the nearby cosmos? Is it possible that Alpha Centuri is another Earth like planet? Planets the size of earth have been hard to find, but indirect methods are arriving on line which give scientists a good survey of how many such bodies may be in the universe. How rare would it be to find life on another earth-like planet? | | | |
| 42 :03x10 - Strangest Things (Jan/27/2009) | | An exploration of mysterious phenomenon, including alcohol clouds in space, pulsar planets, the possibility of a planet beyond Neptune, and dark matter. | | Guest Stars: Amy Mainzer as Herself | | | |
| 43 :03x11 - Edge of Space (Feb/03/2009) | | The majority of space has occurred in Low Earth Orbit, around 120 miles above sea level. For a cool $20 million, any person can take a ride on the International Space Station, around the 1,100 mile band around Earth. Commercial prospects for LEO are huge, there are big dangers lurking for anyone interested in traveling this way, such as radiation, , cosmic rays, and space debris numbering in the thousands threaten any spacecraft traveling in orbit. It's a new frontier and maybe the final frontier, and the possibilities are endless if you are willing to travel to the edge of space exploration. | | | |
| 44 :03x12 - Cosmic Phenomena (Feb/03/2009) | | There have been both helpful and harmful effects on life on Earth from cosmic effects. Cosmic Phenomena includes the beauty of the Aurora Borealis and rainbows to the dangers of UV radiation and cosmic rays, from the miracle of photosynthesis to the thrill of a meteor shower as we explore the effects caused by the sun and other extra-solar sources, which can get under our skin and scramble man's technology, make life possible and be a threat to our existence all at once. | | | |
