Summary

COI synopsis: In talking to Britain’s men of science, Bernard Braden, popular Canadian actor, provides a glimpse of the future as fantastic as today’s inventions and discoveries would have seemed a hundred years ago. In this film he meets some outstanding scientific personalities including scientists at the Institute of Aviation Medicine at Farnborough and a winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry [Dr Singer]. He learns from a biologist the amazing story of how human and animal tissues can be preserved by refrigeration [Dr Audrey Smith], and a nuclear scientist brings his experience to bear on the problem of space flight.
