In 1998, Palau's corals were severely damaged by coral bleaching, whereby warmed ocean currents and too much sunlight penetrating the water turned corals white, brittle and lifeless. Nearly 99 percent of corals on some reefs died. Their subsequent recovery, however, and the study of those reefs that proved resilient to coral bleaching helped spark a new Conservancy-wide program.

It was executive-produced by Adrian Malone, produced by David Kennard, Geoffrey Haines-Stiles and Gregory Andorfer, and directed by the producers and David Oyster, Richard Wells, Tom Weidlinger, and others. It covered a wide range of scientific subjects including the origin of life and a perspective of our place in the universe. The series was first broadcast by the Public Broadcasting Service in 1980, and was the most widely watched series in the history of American public television until 1990's The Civil War, and is still the most widely watched PBS series in the world.[1] It won an Emmy and a Peabody Award and has since been broadcast in more than 60 countries and seen by over 600 million people, according to the Science Channel.

In 1974, renowned primatologist Dian Fossey introduced a young researcher named Kelly Stewart to a gorilla family Fossey was studying. Stewart, daughter of actor Jimmy Stewart, was the first to see a tiny new baby gorilla. She named him Titus, and her journal entry began the up-close observation of his life that researchers have continued to this day. Witness Titus's turbulent life story, from orphan to ruler and the challenge to his throne today. Part of the 26th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen/WNET New York for PBS, The Gorilla King premieres Sunday, April 20, at 8 p.m. ET (check local listings).

Both sides now plan to put a man on the Moon - the Americans pull ahead in the space race with Project Gemini, but then suffer a disaster with the Apollo 1 fire. Meanwhile, despite a few notable successes such as the first space walk by Alexei Leonov, the Soviet space programme struggles to keep up amid internal strife. Glushko and Korolev permanently fall out in an argument about fuel; Korolev turns to Nikolai Kuznetsov to develop engines instead. Kuznetsov delivers the NK-33, very efficient but much less powerful than the Americans' F-1. The Soviet program suffers further blows when Korolev dies during surgery, Gagarin dies in a jet crash, Soyuz 1 crashes and kills Vladimir Komarov, and the prototype booster for the moon shot, the N-1 rocket, fails to successfully launch.]]> Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:00:27 +0200 f61f3f92d0dbcebe26d47dea3af1492a BBC - The Space Race Ep4of4 courtesy of veoh doco video http://pingnews.feedbeat.com/PINGNewsScienceTechnologyandNature/tv/?id=55840 Episode 3, Race For Survival, spans 1959-1961. Both the Americans and Soviets are planning manned space flight, and we see both sides preparing to do so with the development of the Vostok programme (USSR) and Project Mercury (USA). As well as basic details about the capsules and their delivery vehicles, we also see some of the selection and training of the Russian cosmonauts, and rather less of that of their counterparts in the US. After difficulties and failures on both sides, the Soviets succeed in putting Yuri Gagarin into space first, with the Americans putting Alan Shepard up shortly afterwards.]]> Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:00:27 +0200 7f4c6b53a424a4029eeda7634a2e235f BBC The Space Race ep3 of 4 courtesy of veoh doco video http://pingnews.feedbeat.com/PINGNewsScienceTechnologyandNature/tv/?id=55841 Imagine yourself 150 years old, pregnant and still going strong.
