Cutting-edge computer graphics are used to bring the universe down to earth to show what life would be like on other planets, and to imagine what life forms might evolve in alien atmospheres,” say the makers.
“Spaceship Earth” takes the viewers “through the formation of the third planet from the Sun.
Galactic investigators will hunt for answers to some of man’s most puzzling questions. How was Earth created? What creatures hold clues to how life began? Where did the planet’s water come from? Why does Earth have the best ‘real estate’ for humans in the Universe? And what evil forces threaten its ultimate demise?
From its early struggles with asteroids and comets to its current battles against global warming, the creation of Spaceship Earth is one of the most complex and controversial scientific detective stories of all time.”
