Just about every two years, the planet Mars makes its closest approach to Earth... around 36 million miles. That s when we pack our robotic emissaries off to the Red Planet, timing their launches to spend the least effort to get there. Some fly around it... snapping pictures... Others land ... to sample its surface.... ...a few to crawl around its canyons and craters. These probes may pave the way for human explorers... and, perhaps permanent settlers... who ll dig deeper still... in search of answers to our most pressing question: Did Mars develop far enough -- and stay that way long enough -- for life to arise? And, if so, does anything live now within Mars dusty plains... beneath its ice caps... or maybe somewhere underground? Mars does not give up its secrets easily ... it s almost as if the little planet is embarrassed. Over a century ago, a few observers thought they saw clues that Mars is alive. In 1877, the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli noted markings... which he saw as a latticework of lines. He called them "canali" in Italian... meaning nothing more than "shallow channels" in English. American astronomer, Percival Lowell, found the lure of these features irresistible. He saw Schiaparelli s channels as artificial canals. He speculated that they carried melting snow from the poles to the dry interior. After all, on Earth, the Suez Canal had recently opened to ship traffic. The Panama Canal was beginning to be dug. The Martian canals, Lowell said, were built by a sophisticated society confronting an environmental catastrophe on the grandest of scales. Those Martians, he thought, must face urgent choice: move water across vast arid regions, or perish on an increasingly dry planet. As the 19th Century gave way to the 20th, Lowell took his case to the public, in a series of three best-selling books. And the public responded with... questions. Who were these Martians, who had the means to remake an entire planet? Some offered schemes for making contact. Giant mirrors would flash greetings... Light beams... Mental telepathy. Many astronomers grew deeply skeptical... but Lowell s vision of a harsh, yet Earth-like planet endured in the public s imagination.. That vision was dealt harsh blow in 1964. The Mariner Four spacecraft ventured in for a closer look... And what it saw looked like the Moon. Three more Mariners followed. They found huge dormant volcanoes... the deepest and longest canyon in the solar system...but not a trace of life, present or past. In the mid-1970 s, two lander-orbiter robot teams, named Viking, took up residence at Mars. Maybe the Martians were just hiding, so theVikings tested the soil for signs of life. But all the evidence from Viking told us... Mars is not only barren... but in fact hostile to life. It s no wonder. Martian air temperatures range from --20 degrees Fahrenheit to down below --200. It s also very, very dry. The Sahara Desert on Earth is a rainforest, by comparison. If all of the water vapor in Mars thin atmosphere fell as snow, it would make a layer of frost not thicker than your fingernail. On Earth, impact craters erode over time from wind and water... and even volcanic activity. On Mars, they can linger for billions of years. But so can the imprint of riverbeds, lake bottoms and ocean shorelines... And the Viking orbiters saw a lot of them. It s not hard to believe that a great deal of water once flowed here. But where did all the water go? To find out, scientists needed to do real field-geology on Mars. They needed rovers... travelling robots with tools and instruments.

Just as matter begins to swirl into a black hole, magnetic fields hurl it out in powerful jets.

Watch the updated version on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKct-VmeLOw A whole new space race has begun. Over the next decade, the United States... Germany... England... Japan... India... China... Russia... and even a few private companies... have plans to send rockets to explore the moon. They will map the lunar surface... search for clues to its origins... and find out what s there that humans can use to survive. A Russian mission will send seismic detectors into the soil to monitor moon-quakes... and study the flow of heat from the moon s core. A Japanese mission will use x-rays to search for rare minerals. An American mission is prospecting for water in the shadowy craters at the Moon s poles. But governments aren t the only ones joining this new race to the Moon; With more missions on the drawing boards... - and the chance to actually make money developing space businesses - private ventures are angling to supply launch or human transport services.... And even begin exploiting space resources like energy...materials...and the freedom from gravity itself. Private robotics teams, vying for the 30 million dollar Google Lunar X-Prize, are designing, building and planning to launch rovers with video cameras to explore lunar landscapes. It s inspired by the Orteig prize that sent Charles Lindbergh flying across the Atlantic Ocean more than 80 years ago. That feat helped launch the civil aviation industry. The sponsors of this prize hope it will unleash the entrepreneurial spirit into space. The goal of these missions is to begin to fulfill a grand promise of the space age... to send humans back to the moon and beyond, to permanently live and work in space. NASA has unveiled its grand plan... It s a series of steps... designed to build knowledge and expertise, while steadily reducing the risks to human life. For now, it s the space shuttle to take us up there. It s a big freight hauling system able to lift over 25 tons of people and machines into space with every launch. On more than two-dozen flights since 1998, the shuttle has carried the International Space Station into orbit piece-by-piece... module by module, solar array by solar array, subsystem by subsystem. But the shuttle never lived up to its promise of low-cost access to space. Now, a new NASA transportation system is slated to take over. If all goes well, Constellation will transport astronauts back to the moon... on to some of the near earth asteroids, eventually to Mars, and perhaps beyond. Aboard space station, astronauts are already preparing for longer missions... figuring out how to keep muscles and bones from weakening and thinning out through exercise and nutrition. Just as important, they are working on technologies that ensure clean air and water, shelter from solar radiation, and flexible space suits to work and explore in hostile environments like the moon. The surface of the moon first came into focus four centuries ago. The Italian physicist and philosopher Galileo Galilei had heard of an instrument built by Dutch opticians that could "see faraway things as if nearby." Galileo, in many ways the first modern scientist, saw this new instrument as a tool to help settle a long standing question... What was the nature of the heavens, and what was the place of the world of men within it? The moon, to some philosophers, was seen as a perfect, crystalline sphere of divine substance, free of Earth s imperfections. In 1609, to help support his science, Galileo began building and selling spyglasses to sea captains and merchant traders. But he himself took aim at the moon. He saw that it had a rocky, textured surface like the Earth, marked by myriad craters, mountains and ocean-like depressions. The moon, he found, was far from perfect. To Galileo, the scientist, it was even better... for it was clearly a world unto itself. Flash forward now... to a time just about four decades ago, the astronauts of Apollo piloted down to the lunar surface for the first time. The moon, the Apollo missions discovered, is like a time capsule from the early days of the solar system. Rock samples confirmed a dramatic theory... the moon is actually made of material very similar to the surface of the Earth... likely blasted out more than four billion years ago in a violent impact with an early planet that was about the size of Mars. Moreover, the evidence showed that all those moon craters were not ancient volcanoes, as many scientists had believed, but rather they were scars from asteroid and comet impacts. Scientists began to wonder whether those impacts had endowed the moon with resources such as water that could be tapped to support long-term missions.

Mladic boycotting war crime trial To see more go to http://www.youtube.com/user/journeymanpictures Follow us on Facebook (http://goo.gl/YRw42) or Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/journeymanvod) As former military chief Mladic boycotts today s UN war crimes court after facing charges of genocide in Bosnia, we bring you the disturbing lost images of Srebrenica; key evidence in this turbulent case. Everyone remembers the harrowing footage of the Srebrenica massacre shot by Zoran Petrovic, the only cameraman to capture the event. But this fascinating documentary shows that the very worst of his pictures never reached our TV screens. Key scenes were lost or blacked over. Now his incriminating material is available for scrutiny. Chief prosecutor at the War Crimes Tribunal, Mark Harmon, affirms: "It s very important footage. Pictures do not lie". July 2011

The Crazy Drug: A powerful form of amphetamine is bringing violence to Thailand For downloads and more information visit http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=9175 This shocking & graphic report reveals a purer form of amphetamine is coming out of South East Asia s golden triangle. It s creating a national emergency in Thailand. Drug cartels on the Thai/Burma border are today piggybacking their existing international heroin dealing with "yaa baa" a cheap and pure amphetamine. Yaa baa, or "the crazy drug" as Thais have come to know it, is a chemical mimic of adrenaline. Users describe feeling intense euphoria, strength and energy. But for most the party soon turns into a nightmare. "From heavy and prolonged use they have all the symptoms of chronic paranoid schizophrenia...a state that is as dangerous as a person can be". Throughout Thailand there s an epidemic of drug induced violence. A crowd gathers as an addict holds a five-year-old hostage. Desperate to avoid a repeat of a similar incident where a child was hacked to death by a delusional user, the Police shoot the man dead. The most Thai police can do to is arrest small time users and pushers. Getting to the real drug lords over the border demands political leverage. Many see Burma s government as tolerant even supportive of the cartels. And with their trading continuing apace the world it seems should be worried about the crazy drug.

The Desert Jihad (March 1998) An evocative piece describing the front-line in Iran s war against desertification. Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures Nasser Nikpay shows us around an eerie, deserted village, half-buried in the sand. The village is famous for the 120-day wind. Nasser works for the Jihad-e-Sazandegi Ministry -- which is at war with the ever-encroaching desert. Iranians irrigate their land using qanats, underground channels which carry water from the mountains. But the sand is harder to control. The land can only be cultivated if the shifting sand dunes can be anchored in place. And the Iranians have come up with a very clever way of keeping the desert from drifting in the wind. It seems like horrific pollution, but petroleum mulch from oil refineries is sprayed with a big gun onto the errant sand. A month later trees are planted. The petroleum mulch prevents the sand moving and the water evaporating. After five years the mulch will be removed, by which time the desert has been miraculously fixed in place and greenery abounds. Land has already gone to the farmers who need it most for reforestation and cultivation. Now pistachio trees and alfalfa can be grown. A garden blooms with an abundance of pink roses - a testament to the regeneration of the land. Man s ingenuity triumphs over nature and pollution.

Suharto s Rivals Unite (Feb 1998) We meet President Suharto s opposition and discover that calls for him to go grow ever louder. Amien Rais is the leader of the Muslim group Muhammadiya, with 28 million followers. He has joined forces with Megawati Sukarnoputri to oppose Suharto in the coming elections. Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures Suharto has been in power for 30 years, his rule bolstered by his cronies and a repressive army. A Trade Unionist is secretly interviewed in his hospital cell - he s on trial for subversion , and if found guilty, could face the death penalty. It s a measure of the insecurity of Suharto s undemocratic regime. Megawati supporters are beaten with batons by Indonesian troops at a demo. Megawati herself bemoans the violence. In contrast, some anti-Chinese demonstrations appear to have been actually organised by the government to deflect criticism for the current financial crisis onto the Chinese. Whilst Suharto s grasping children bask in almost Royal splendour, the poorest tell us they couldn t even buy Christmas presents. And even the middle class are speaking out. But Suharto continues to stage extravagant displays of his power and ignore the widespread discontent.

Berber Exploitation (1997): A look at how the culture of the Berbers has been exploited and suffocated. Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures# For centuries the Berbers of Morocco have been persecuted by their Arab masters. Today even their festivals have been hijacked. Miriam is fighting to keep her language and culture, whilst fellow militant Zaid claims the Arabs have stolen our history. Etched out of a beautiful, yet inhospitable and rugged land, stands Imichil, where the annual marriage market or Moussem des Fiances takes Place. It s here that the Arab government has turned an exclusive Berber celebration into a tourist fest. Shy young brides wander around the market in traditional veils as streetwise city slickers sell trinkets and souvenirs to dollar laden foreigners. The Arabs have encouraged the press to come and soak up the traditional atmosphere It s turned into objects of curiosity in the process. Hussein and his wife to be, were forced to attend the festival in order to obtain a marriage certificate. Fascinating look at a culture being silenced and yet exploited for its rich and colourful traditions.

Famine (1997): Incredible insight into North Korea s nationwide famine in which left thousands on the brink of starvation. Despite the need for international aid, the lack of access to the country made implementation an impossible task. Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures# Negotiations between CARE and the government Relief Committee are fraught. The Relief Committee complain CARE is not helping enough. The obsessively secretive government wants to direct all aid to the fertile rice bowl areas around the capital, because productivity here is highest. Then they will be able to feed the starving in the country s north. Williamson disagrees and is granted a rare permit to travel north to judge for himself. The team break the schedule and visit a nursery of their choosing. Here the hungry children are lacklustre and silent. Officially banned from filming in hospitals, desperate doctors allow the camera in. Hungry mothers are supposed to supply food for their children. A family with no men starve more than their more productive neighbours. If you don t work, it seems, you don t eat. This is no socialist famine. The government says the north is not a farming area and shouldn t get aid first. CARE says aid should go to the starving.

The Circus Cries Freedom (Oct 1997) An uplifting feature about the circus that commemorates Eritrea s freedom fighters, in a country that has found peace after thirty years of conflict. Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures# Happy singing emanates from an old bus as a political youth circus tours this peaceful East African nation. Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia after a bloody thirty year war. Now this circus is keeping the memory of those who fought for freedom alive. Joshua Fseha Yohannes was one of the Children of the Revolution. He has immortalised the war in chronicles the children perform to rapt audiences. Out in the village of Deroque the women stay at home. Only virgins can marry. But veiled teenage girls are allowed out to watch the circus that s coming to town. They look on in confusion as girls their own age tumble unashamedly with boys. The circus brings Eritrea s second town of Kerren to a standstill. Here they re-enact a true scene from the war. The group mistakes an enemy Mig fighter for an aid plane delivering food. As they cheer they are bombed. Everyone is killed. Eritrea is a rare African example of ethnic harmony. Muslims, Copts and Catholics celebrate the country s rebirth at a festival together. Student volunteers dig ditches to rebuild the country s roads. An African tale with a happy ending.
