Discovery Science’s Space Month: to air shows on 50 years of space exploration
MUMBAI: Discovery Science has dedicated a whole month to tell viewers everything they would like know about the universe, space exploration and the search for intelligent life on other planets. Airing Monday to Friday at 10 PM on Discovery Science, the show starts on November 20 onwards. Space Month promises an in-depth analysis chronicling 50 years of unique achievements in space and exciting developments for the future.
Space Month will kick start with the episode In Space: 50 years of Space Exploration. The episode will feature the Rosetta Mission, the 2014 ISS Crew and the upcoming Mercury and planned Mars missions. This episode will define how space travel has enhanced human knowledge of the universe and the ground-breaking future ahead where the secrets of its origins will be revealed says Discovery Science.
To air on 24th & 25th November, Unravelling the Cosmos will take an immersive tour of the vast scale and extreme distances in the universe.
To air on November 27, One Giant Leap will highlight the story of the United States journey to the moon, the landmark mission that inspired Americans during a time when violence and turmoil dominated headlines. Interviews with the surviving astronauts, families, and other key players, along with high-definition NASA films and never-before-seen home movie collections will be aired during the episode.
MUMBAI: India’s most famous hot seat is about to welcome an unlikely first-timer. For the first time on Hindi general entertainment television, industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla will appear on Kaun Banega Crorepati, the iconic quiz show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.
The special episode marks a rare meeting point of boardroom heft and prime-time television, bringing one of India’s most influential business leaders face to face with the country’s most enduring screen legend. It is a crossover that blends intellect, leadership and popular culture, all under KBC’s familiar spotlight.
Birla’s appearance dovetails neatly with the show’s current theme, Jahaan Akal Hai, Wahan Akad Hai, which celebrates the confidence that comes from clarity of thought and knowledge. His presence lends weight to the idea that sharp thinking and conviction are as vital in life as they are in the quiz chair.
In a thoughtful conversation with Bachchan, Birla shared an upbeat view of India’s economic journey, pointing to the nation’s rapid growth and the scale of opportunity opening up across industries and communities. He spoke of momentum, ambition and a future shaped by enterprise and ideas.
The episode is not all serious talk. In lighter moments, Birla confessed his long-standing admiration for Bachchan, calling him his favourite actor and admitting to a touch of nervousness at answering questions in front of the Shahenshah himself. The candour adds a human touch to a man more often seen in headlines than on television sets.
The special episode airs on Monday, 29 December at 9.00 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
