Ingenuity and Perseverance | The Ritchie Boys
Ingenuity and Perseverance - How NASA's Mars rover landing almost went terribly wrong. NASA wasn't sure if Perseverance could slow itself down as it barreled toward Mars at over 300 miles per hour earlier this year. Anderson Cooper reports on the missions carried out on the red planet by the rover and its special cargo, the tiny helicopter Ingenuity, to search for ancient life on Mars. He also covers the painstaking process of launching the helicopter and the extraordinary images the two have already sent back to Earth.
The Ritchie Boys - Ritchie Boys were a secret U.S. unit bolstered by German-born Jews who helped the Allies beat Hitler. They were responsible for uncovering more than half the combat intelligence on the Western Front during World War II. For the many German-born Jews in their ranks, defeating the Nazis was heartbreakingly personal. Jon Wertheim tells this little-known story of the Jews who escaped the Nazis during World War II and returned to fight Hitler as part of a secret American military intelligence group trained in espionage and psychological warfare. This is a double-length segment.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
