Horizon - Asteroids
Discussion
They've certainly returned to something like their old form. A couple of years ago I had given up on it completely as the programmes were all to do with catastrophe and anhiallation - over sensationalist in other words. There was a bit of that last night but the "doomsday - we're all gonna die" scenarios were kept in check and overall it was well put together.

Very sadly, he was killed in a road accident in Australia in 1997. He had applied to be a geologist astronaut in the 1960s but was turned down. Instead, he became one of the geology instructors to the Apollo moonwalkers.
A nice end to the story is that some of his ashes were put aboard the US moon probe, Lunar Prospector, which eventually impacted the lunar surface when its mission was over. So, he finally got to the moon.
He was also the co-discoverer of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which famously smashed into Jupiter in 1994.
