Brian and guests travel back to the 60s and 70s to see where the Space Race was won, Cape Canaveral. They visit NASA's original mission control, the launch control center, and 'VAB', where rockets are still put together.

Brian takes locals back to the late 1800's to see Coney Island in all its original glory. Then heads west during the Spanish American War to explore the birthplace of San Francisco, the former military base known as the Presidio.
