Destination Future Special

This December, the Discovery Channel presents an extraordinary glimpse into the future with the DESTINATION FUTURE SPECIAL. Featuring the premieres of DESTINATION FUTURE: HIGH TECH METROPOLIS and SPACE TOURISTS, as well as encore presentations of DESTINATION FUTURE: HIGH TECH TRANSPORT and DESTINATION FUTURE: SPACE EXPLORATION, this four-hour special takes viewers on a high-speed cruise through the wondrous possibilities of future life on earth and beyond. The DESTINATION FUTURE SPECIAL airs nightly Monday, December 17 through Thursday, December 20 from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. (Australian Standard Time), with programs encoring the following days at 5 a.m. and 4 p.m.
A comprehensive look into the future, the DESTINATION FUTURE SPECIAL presents both the pros and cons of potential developments in transportation, urban planning and space exploration. Unavoidable truths such as fewer natural resources and greater populations will likely incur dramatic changes on the "city" as it is known today. The premiere of DESTINATION FUTURE: HIGH TECH METROPOLIS explores the future of cityscapes on earth, suggesting that the way people live and work will be remarkably different. From life on earth to life in outerspace, the premiere program SPACE TOURISTS, investigates the heated "space race" - the competition to become the first commercial space operator. The race is well underway - but what will be the outcome? This December, the Discovery Channel confronts the fascinating prospects as well as the complex challenges that humankind may face with the DESTINATION FUTURE SPECIAL.
