A Personal Voyage Travellers' Tales
Audacious voyages of exploration characterise the human species. Today it takes no longer to reach Mars than it took 15th-century adventurers to cross the Atlantic. It even costs relatively less. The quest in each case: new worlds and new discoveries.
Tonight's Cosmos looks at travellers' tales from the past and those sent back by the Voyager spacecraft from their explorations of the Jupiter planetary system. Presented by Carl Sagan
