Space Wars on The History Channel

How exactly does the Millennium Falcon turn on a dime while in space? Would the Vipers in BSG actually have used thrusters to maneuver? Could we really build shields around our ships? Could you conduct a proper planetary bombardment using laser-based weapons? Since the dawn of sci-fi, these questions have plagued the masses. Now, The History Channel will enlighten us all as to what is not only possible, but what is coming in the near future.

Airing tonight.
