(Engineering by Catastrophe: Season 1: Above and Beyond) Strojírenství Across the globe, engineers are creating extraordinary modern masterpieces, structures that push beyond the limits of what came before. Each year, innovations grow more impressive as bridges, tunnels, skyscrapers and even spacecraft become bigger, bolder and more ambitious. Yet, every breakthrough brings new risks. To ensure the safest outcomes, engineers must study worst-case scenarios in which major structures are pushed to their limits and fatal flaws are exposed. Fires, explosions, floods and catastrophic collisions are difficult to confront but essential to understand. In this six-part series, we learn from the past to build a safer future. Just sending humans into space is a highly risky mission. Positioned on a rocket, astronauts must survive the controlled explosion that launches their spacecraft beyond the atmosphere and the terrifying frictional force during reentry. It’s an unforgiving environment where minor errors have caused deadly and costly catastrophes. To future-proof their new deep-space capsule, Orion, NASA engineers must forensically examine every past disaster. From the devastating space shuttle explosions to the Apollo and Soyuz tragedies, yesterday’s failures are vital lessons learned. Shaping new survival suits, improving escape systems and innovating new materials make space travel safer than ever before. (Canada)
