Episode 4

What if there is a giant asteroid strike? Quirky true history with Helen Keen, Peter Serafinowicz and Susy Kane. From June 2012.

Comic but true look at the past and future of space exploration.

What could we do if a giant asteroid was heading straight for us?

A look at where else we might be able to go in the solar system if Earth was destroyed, and how we might get there.

And we ask the most searching of all questions, why didn't the dinosaurs avoid extinction by developing a space programme of their own?

And if they had, how could a T Rex have flown a spaceship with those tiny arms?
