Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking on Discovery

I watched the documentary feature tonight on Discovery Channel. Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking premiered on April 25, 2010. Hawking joins science and imagination to explore one of the most important mysteries facing humankind — the possibility of alien, intelligent life and the likelihood of future “contact.”

Plot Synopsis
Stephen Hawking hosts an epic new kind of cosmology series, a Planet Earth of the heavens. It takes the world’s most famous scientific mind and sets it free, powered by the limitless possibilities of computer animation. Hawking gives us the ultimate guide to the universe, a ripping yarn based on real science, spanning the whole of space and time — from the nature of the universe itself, to the chances of alien life, and the real possibility of time travel.
