""episode 17 - gravity - gravity is the most powerful and exacting force in the
universe. it is pervasive and penetrating. gravity binds us together, its reach
hangs stars in the sky and its grip crushes light. gravity holds planets
together, and leashes them to their suns. without gravity, stars, comets, moons,
nebulae, and even the earth itself would not exist. explore how science and
humanity discovered, overcame and utilized gravity. learn what it takes to
propel objects into the heavens, to ride a wave or to ski down a slope. take a
front row seat as an astronaut subjects himself to the weightless wonders of the
specially modified aircraft used to train astronauts known as the "vomit comet.""
this is the second last episode of the series, the final one is called "the end
of the universe" =(
