AstroKobi

Kobi got unparalleled access to Kennedy Space Center in the weeks before NASA did something it hadn't done since 1972: send humans beyond low Earth orbit and around the far side of the Moon. This is the complete journey of Artemis II, the mission that marked a turning point for our species.

The US is racing to build a base at the lunar south pole, and NASA has now picked the rover that will help get them there. Kobi flew to California to drive that exact machine, Astrolab's Flex, before it was ever cleared for the Moon.

ESA has recreated the surface of the Moon here on Earth, and no one outside the agency had ever been allowed inside until now. Kobi got exclusive access to Europe's astronaut campus in Cologne to step into that facility and see exactly how astronauts are training to go back to the Moon.

Behind layers of NASA security sits a room holding 12 billion dollars worth of Moon rocks, and there is nowhere on Earth you can stand closer to the Moon. Kobi gets inside the Lunar Sample Lab to find out how the rocks were brought home, how they are protected, and what they have taught us about where the Moon came from.

Right now a spacecraft is screaming through the void 24 billion kilometers from Earth, with a transmitter weaker than the lightbulb in your fridge, and somehow we can still hear it. Kobi visits NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where a team of just ten people keeps both Voyagers alive, to find out how.

A new telescope in Chile can image the entire sky deep, wide, and fast, and astronomers believe it could change everything, from mapping dark matter to spotting threats heading our way. Kobi journeys to the Vera C. Rubin Observatory to find out why this one machine could matter so much to humanity.
