In the series important inventions and discoveries from the spheres of geoscience and civil engineering are presented. The viewer gains insight into both the scientific and the socio-political background of a discovery or an invention. Pioneers of science are portrayed, subjects of research are presented and their further development up to the present day is traced. The process and functioning of the research objects are explained by means of computer animation. Dramatized scenes shed light on the working conditions and methods of the scientists. Particularly impressive are the historical film documents, some of which date back to the early years of cinematography. Der Film schildert die ersten Versuche Anfang unseres Jahrhunderts in das Weltall vorzustoßen, den Start des ersten sowjetischen Satelliten "Sputnik I" unter der Federführung Koroljows im Jahre 1957 und die rasante Entwicklung der Satellitentechnik bis in unsere Tage.
