Episodes - (4 X 60')

SYNOPSIS
We live in an exciting time in human history — a time when the world has never been smaller, when we can drive, sail, or fly almost anywhere. SPEED is the incredible story of our civilization’s ceaseless desire to move – and the machines that take us farther, higher, and above all, faster. In this action-packed 4-part original docu-series, join host and engineering expert Sean Riley as he takes us across continents, into the skies, under the ocean and into space to showcase humanity’s innate need for speed — for pleasure, for work, to explore, and to survive. SPEED transports us to some of history’s greatest transportation breakthroughs, pilots the modern machines of today, and forecasts the mind-blowing game changers that await us in the decades to come. From the first cars to personal “velocopters”… from Polynesian outrigger canoes to luxury submarines… from the Saturn V rocket to solar sails — this is the story of how audacious innovators refused to take no for an answer. They overcame impossible odds to create machines to whisk mankind into the future.
