Science and Technology: 100 Years of Progress

From the flight of The Spirit of St. Louis to the landing of the Eagle and the Challenger explosion, from the discovery of nuclear fission to the Three Mile Island meltdown, and from a cure for polio to the search for an AIDS vaccine, this ABC News program anchored by Peter Jennings examines the impact of the 20th century’s pivotal scientific and technological advances. Feats of engineering such as the Panama Canal and eco-disasters including the Love Canal are also presented, as well as the marvels of the 1939 World’s Fair and the incredible computer revolution.
