Beyond the Sky: You and the Universe - Dara O Briain

 Ireland's best-loved comedian Dara O Briain takes you

on a journey from the safety of your comfiest chair to the furthest

reaches of space (and beyond!)

So you want to go into space? WHY?! (No, really - it's

sort of a terrible idea. We humans are perfectly designed for life

on Earth. We can walk around, breathe, drink water, eat vegetables,

read books, not get poisoned or crushed to death when we go

outside - it's lovely right where we are.)

Not convinced? GOOD! People have been dreaming about space

travel for centuries - there's something amazing about the idea

of leaving our planet behind and setting out to explore the Universe

- there's so much we still don't know.
