> Tuesday, July 28 at 8pm ET/PT on PBS
> Millions remember the countdowns, launchings, splashdowns, and
> parades as the U.S. raced the USSR to the moon in the 1960s. But few
> know that both countries also ran parallel space programs, whose
> covert goal was to launch military astronauts on spying missions. In
> this program, NOVA delves into the untold story of this top-secret
> space race, which might easily have turned into a shooting war in
> orbit. Learn more about these Secret Astronauts on the program's
> companion website.

> See how a NASA satellite called LCROSS is heading to the moon in the
> hope of finding buried water. Then, find out how salt deposits that
> formed 250-million-years-ago hold tantalizing hints of early life.
> Next, discover clues to the origins of human language which are
> turning up in the brains of birds. And, meet a climatologist
> struggling to save ancient history preserved in ice that is now
> melting.

> Did You Ever Wonder "What If..."?
> 
> What if you could fall through the Earth? Watch a video on our
> Cosmic Perspective page where Neil takes you on a fantastic voyage
> through Earth's molten core--without getting burned. What do you
> wonder about? Post your "What If" scenarios on our website and the
> producers of NOVA scienceNOW might have Neil act out the answers.

> 
> Fake or Real?
> 
> Seeing is no longer believing in our modern digital world, and
> digital detective Hany Farid is inventing new ways to tell if photos
> have been faked. On our website examine nine photographs of Neil
> deGrasse Tyson with other celebrities and then guess if they are
> fake or real. After, hear Farid explain why you were right or wrong.
> Remember to tune in to NOVA scienceNOW Tuesday, August 4 to learn
> more about Farid and his work.
