How Do They Do It?

A Dutch firm has built the world’s currently quickest super‑yacht, setting a new benchmark for speed on the water. The programme also showcases a newly developed spacesuit that is only one‑fifth the weight and cost of earlier models, making it dramatically lighter and cheaper.

The episode is a programme that looks at two cutting‑edge engineering achievements. It follows a Dutch firm that has managed to produce the world’s quickest super‑yachts and also showcases a freshly designed space suit whose weight and price are dramatically lower than those of its predecessor. In the first segment the focus is on the Dutch company’s approach to building super‑yachts that outpace every other vessel of their class. The show walks viewers through the methods and technologies that enable these yachts to claim the title of the fastest on the planet, highlighting the ambition and precision behind the project. The second part turns to aerospace, presenting a brand‑new space suit that is only a fifth of the mass and cost of the earlier model. By cutting both weight and expense so dramatically, the suit represents a significant step forward for space‑wear, promising greater efficiency for future missions. Together, the programme juxtaposes high‑speed marine engineering with revolutionary space‑age apparel, illustrating how contemporary design can push the boundaries of speed, performance and affordability across very different fields.
