Good Day To Die, A

Concerning suicide rates in South Korea have resulted in national soul-searching and the formation of the 'Well Dying' or 'Near Death' movement, aiming to help people appreciate their lives more.

While the rest of the world gorges itself on K-Pop, Korean movies, and smartphones produced by Korean tech giant Samsung, Koreans themselves have never been more depressed. With over 14,000 of its citizens taking their own lives in 2012, South Korea has one of the highest rates of suicide in the developed world, despite its booming economy. These concerning rates have resulted in a lot of national soul-searching and the formation of the 'Well Dying' or 'Near Death' movement which aims to help people appreciate their lives more and thus reduce the number of suicides. The most bizarre manifestation of this movement is the rise of 'Fake Funeral' services, where people are lectured by a philosophical guru, told to write out their own eulogies, and ultimately climb into a coffin to meditate for 30 minutes so as to experience the afterlife.

Strip The Cosmos

This episode strips apart asteroids - layer by layer - peeling back surfaces, slicing open craters, and exploding out rocks to explore the secrets that lie inside these miniature worlds. #sbsdoco

Killer Asteroids - This episode strips apart remnants from the early solar system - asteroids - peeling back surfaces, slicing open craters, and exploding out rocks to explore the secrets that lie inside these miniature worlds. Asteroids are constantly threatening Earth, with thousands lurking too close to our planet for comfort. Last year in Chelyabinsk, Russia, a fireball tore across the sky, exploding in the upper atmosphere with the power of 30 atomic bombs and injuring over a thousand people. This asteroid was just a baby, thousands of larger rocks are out there waiting to strike. This program meets the team in Arizona who spend every night in scanning the heavens for asteroids that could threaten earth, and reveal how scientists test an intense laser beam they hope could one day deflect an asteroid away from Earth.
