Trying to remember the name of a documentary/docufiction.
« on: November 01, 2014, 12:37:32 pm »

It  was on the  Discovery Channel, about 2010(though it may have been a rerun). Basically a tour of alien planets with life, including a tidally locked world and one with flying, balloon-like predators. The main thing I remember was that the last planet was an airless world being disassembled by robotic replicators, and the BIG REVEAL was that it was a future Earth.

Please help, I want to watch it again!. (Mods, if I put this in the wrong place, I am sorry.)

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

That sounds interesting, I would like to know the name also.

((I don't think it's against the rules to have it in this thread. Gen discussion seems to be a better fit though. Although it doesn't matter too much I don't think~))

I remeber one of the planets was called darwin 4 so that may help.

EDIT: It's called alien planet.

NO, that was a different one(about two probes that visit darwin 4 only one planet)

I remember watching that before. I suspect you've been looking on the wrong channel. I think it was The Universe, on the History Channel.

EDIT: Found the episode!
