Colossal Machines

Season 1

Massive machines require engineering extremes, and are examined in detail.

Astronomical Engineering
E1
Astronomical EngineeringInvestigating the cosmos requires amazing machines, and what is hidden within these technical wonders, is nothing short of rocket science. Examine the design of the Space Shuttle, the NASA Crawler, the ISS, and the Very Large Telescope.
Sea Monsters
E2
Sea MonstersSince the dawn of time humans have braved the tides and waves. Take a look inside these engineering marvels to unlock the secrets in the design of the Aasta Hansteen, the USS Nimitz, and the Ohio class submarine.
There Be Dragons
E3
There Be DragonsMan has always looked to the sky and the flight of birds. Since the beginning of air travel, we have pushed the science, going faster, farther and with bigger cargo. Examine the design of the C5 Galaxy, the Airbus Tanker Craft, the CH53 Stallion King, and the Airlander 10.
Sub Zero
E4
Sub ZeroTwo versatile all-terrain vehicles that can move through snow where everything else sinks to a halt.
Earth Biters
E5
Earth BitersA Bagger dragline excavator that can produce enough raw material to power a small city in a day.
Mammoth Manufacturing
E6
Mammoth ManufacturingWhen humans first made tools, we became a building species. Constantly pushing the boundaries of materials and equipment, we strive to perfect machines and other creations. Examine the design of the world's largest 3D printer, a tunnel boring machine, and CNC machines.
