Two teams of spacewalkers take on the risky mission of reviving the ailing Space Telescope.
First Primates
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/0303/02.html
Our most distant primate ancestors, which took the stage shortly after the dinosaurs left it, were tree-dwellers the size of mice.
Profile: Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/0303/03.html
He jumped the fence from Mexico to work as a farmhand and ended up a leading brain surgeon.
Killer Microbe
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/0303/04.html
A relatively benign bug becomes a highly lethal pathogen, known to U.S. soldiers as Iraqibacter.
The journey continues on the NOVA scienceNOW Web site. Watch the entire hour-long episode online starting July 10.
