"NASA's Destination Tomorrow™: Bringing the Future into Focus" is designed for educators, parents and lifelong learners by NASA Langley's Office of Education. This educational, informative program builds on the premise that much of NASA's aeronautical research focuses on creating today's knowledge to solve tomorrow's problems.

Program 6 consists of five exciting segments. In the "Behind the Scenes" segment, viewers will learn about the new Mars Rover's trip to the Red Planet; in the "Tech Watch" segment, viewers will learn about a Child Presence Sensor which will give parents "a second set of eyes"; viewers meet Maxime Faget, Mercury Spacecraft designer in the "Retrospective" segment; viewers see how NASA is designing Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the "On the Runway" segment; and viewers find out how a flight simulator works on the "How it Works" segment.
