A NEW AGE OF EXPLORATION

Today it seems there are no limits to what human beings can accomplish and conquer through knowledge and technology. Like characters from science fiction and comic book lore, humans are now shattering boundaries that have long been considered unbreakable. We are flying without motors, traveling to the deepest and darkest regions of the planet and beyond, morphing with machines even making the paralyzed walk. Have humans become superhuman? The one hour special National Geographic at 125: A New Age of Exploration will meet today's superheroes of exploration and science - men and women leading the way in to uncharted territory.
