Carl Sagans Cosmos - Episode 5 - Blues for a Red Planet

[@martinbondesson]

There's no other person on this earth I've ever had more respect for than Carl Sagan. Every word he speaks is pure poetry and gives me goosebumps. Safe winds, wherever you are, good sir...

[@centauri1608]

Truly wholesome. Godspeed

[@PixelCortex]

"The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together" This guy had a beautiful way with words.

[@jimbobeire]

+PixelCortex have you heard the melodysheep songs that autotune Sagan's words? They used that sentence as part of it.

[@IMadeOfClay]

Carl Sagan was an amazing visionary. He is one of my heroes.

[@mreducogo]

i...love..you...carl sagan!

[@6whatusay9]

the fantastic music in the cosmos gets me every time.

[@a348d]

I always tear up every now and again at the sheer beauty and awe of life and the universe while watching this.

[@williamcargill6162]

"To skim over the sand-dunes of Mars is, as yet, only a dream." I wish there were an afterlife for your Carl so that you could look down and see the progress we've made. Your voice is what I hear when I look at the stars. How we miss you.

[@nian89]

And now we have a flying drone on Mars :)

[@48mastadon]

Sagan brought an understanding of the Cosmos to the masses. He was a great man.

[@Snafubar23]

Such great music in every episode, but I have to say this one is probably my favorite.

[@ArnavBarbaad]

Only if Sagan could see the curiosity rover land on mars... :(

[@bammer150]

***** He is god, no question.

[@washcloud]

...and if only he could last long enough to also see the landing of the Perseverance too...

[@raygall6353]

Jwst stands back in amazement

[@lagillas]

he deserved to live millions of years

[@omvinodjadhav1484]

Only three gods of rocket science - sir robert goddard,sir werhner von braun and sir carl sagan

[@geordieonthetyne]

When he described a martian rover packed with equipment and many other things if only he was alive in 2012 to see the feats of our age! brings a tear to my eye!

[@8023liz]

i love this program. tanks to my uncle when i was little he make me see those shows . when i was a little girl a dream that i go to this planets one day my relatives will live there

[@gregchance324]

"the beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together." amazing words

[@luckyb4541]

I listen to this over and over and over

[@MrSwedenik]

The music at the beginning is perfect. That's exactly how I feel when I look up at the night sky. I feel a sense of awe, but at the same time sadness, because all of it is right there for us to see, but we will never (or at least I will never) be able to actually go there, to actually see it with my own eyes, no telescope.

[@antonkruseandersen5654]

Gustav Holst - The Planets - Mars, the Bringer of War kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmHFlIV5eMxjZ6s

[@Johnny-Thunder]

It was this episode that made me want to read the Mars novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, because Carl Sagan spoke so passionately about them, and also because of the enchanting artwork by Michael Whelan shown here. So I did and very soon I too was completely enamoured with these books.

[@rohanmarkjay]

Brilliant tv series by Carl Sagan. I think he was inspired by J. Bronowski's British made acclaimed tv series. "The Ascent of Man" and wanted make a version of that for an American audience but with Carl Sagan's take on Humankind, The Cosmos and Planet Earth and Science. To be honest Carl Sagan's tv series for American television in 1980 was better but the British made tv series by Bronowski was damn good too. These two series if you watch it back to back. You actually feel you are a better human being after you view these two series than before you watched it. TV series like these raise the consciosness of people to higher level. God do we need that in todays world.

[@steviejd5803]

Just the time given to the opening themes of Mars on this tv programme speaks volumes.

[@andres6868]

what he describes at 47:00, the future possibility of having a rover roaming through Mars, we are seeing it only now, 32 years after the series, thanks to Curiosity

[@Desertphile]

Awesome. Just awesome.

[@taiipotatoie]

I was not aware that this gem was up on KZbin

[@clintinterface]

thx u Carl, big big THX

[@Newtonip]

the molecules are pulled down by Mars' gravitational field. The force with which they are pulled are proportional to the mass of the molecules.

[@pycnopodia4197]

Thanks - I read somewhere that the song is Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Instruments", but I listened to that and it only sounds vaguely similar.

[@HeliosEusebio]

I love the segment about the rover. I always think that Carl would've loved to see the adventures of Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity.

[@andres6868]

@HeliosPhoenix In case you wonder, that piece is called "Entends-tu Les Chiens Aboyer?" and it is by Vangelis

[@glutinousmaximus]

You are right in terms of what would constitute 'sea level' on Venus - this is about 90 times that of Earth. The thickest planetary atmosphere in terms of depth, is Jupiter. (It's almost all atmosphere!) It has a very powerful magnetosphere due to very large volumes of magnetic hydrogen. Cheers.

[@henrycarpenter5733]

Why only include half the episodes? Seems a bit of a lackluster effort.

[@episcophagus]

@dec0y8 Gustav Holst, "Mars, the Bringer of War" from "The Planets" Op 32. A variation of it was used in the TV-series War of the Worlds according to Wikipedia, but no films are mentioned.

[@MadSpectro7]

I really smiled at how Carl personified the Viking probes.

[@andres6868]

It is true that there were previous rovers in Mars (the first was the Pathfinder, which reached the red planet in 1997). But the first space probe to land on Mars (as opposed to crash) was the American Viking probes, shown in this Cosmos episode. As for Venus, it is true that the Russians get there first (their Venera 7 was the first succesful landing there, in 1970)

[@josephglatz3953]

We might not have the time. We'll learn to live on other worlds long before we learn to get along. I say we go now, while we still can.

[@dav0113]

28:10...the pyramids. Sagan was truly an amazing man.

[@Galentw]

Nevermind i foun out the song from 25:30 is called "Tu les Chiens Aboyer" by Vangelis.

[@cankaraoke3049]

Thanks

[@Cleisthenes2]

So is the idea at the end partly that the plants would lead to ozone and thus a better atmosphere, so to speak, for us would-be Martians?

[@thedebateroom]

Mars Direct...absolutely no need for fancy expensive orbital assembly, no need to "learn more" about long duration space flight as we can avoid the problem of no gravity with simply rotating the vessel and can shield the astronauts from radiation with the provisions they are taking with them anyway. fuel for the return trip can also be made on mars. just thought i'd mention that. look up Dr. Robert Zubrin or Mars Direct for more info :)

[@s0nyashnyk]

So sad most of the episodes are blocked by country :(

[@MirtaTroyer]

Great analysis, thank you! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@FireEmblemDemon]

i lold when he mixed all the stuff together to make a person and mad scientist music came on

[@Rouvhole]

Who is the guitar intro in the beginning played by? It starts right after Vangelis intro stops.

[@FireEmblemDemon]

0:53:49 this is the last time i were loafers to mars again

[@esh3325]

What is the name of the music starting at 30:46?

[@babysealslippers]

It had been... A typical summer temperature.

[@EmperorLjas]

Venus lacks a powerful magnetosphere yet it's atmosphere is the thickest of the solid planets in the system.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

16:20...we see Sagan looking at Mars,and we don't even need a telescope.

[@legendsoffootball4k751]

[@PhysicsMasterMind]

47:05 It's Curiosity's great, great grandpa.

[@mediumliam]

Not sure what it is but it sounds like a bit in 'shine on you crazy diamonds'..

[@damienvalentine5043]

I probably just missed it in the credits, but who does the narration for the H.G. Wells excerpt at the beginning?

[@JetFission]

Exactly, your statement: "we are seeing it only now" implied you thought Curiosity had been the first.

[@Gatitasecsii]

hahaha I love the making of a human being at 43:40 xD

[@KimKhan]

@dec0y8 Mars The God of War. It's part of an orchestral score. Google that name and you'll find it sooner or later.

[@gurupow]

Teşekkürler

[@JetFission]

The first mars rovers landed in the 1980's+, Curiosity is the latest. The USSR was the first on mars, as well as on Venus.

[@yockey]

does anyone know what music is playing from 30:43 - 32:00. Iv been looking for this music for a a while. Thanks -

[@washcloud]

...some symphonic piece. Look it up at Wiki, there's a list of the soundtrack pieces used in the entire series. Search for them by title here on YT and you'll indentify the one in question. edit : better yet, use this guideline : cosmic_voyager.tripod.com/cosmosindex.htm

[@s.r.howell1297]

OK. Good point that Venus lacks a magnetic field, but wouldn't even the mass of a particle be influenced by the gravity of a large body like Mars? You seem to know what you're talking about.

[@LuciferLBelial]

@ 45 min, a human randomly appears next to Carl, lol.

[@burnettis1]

Splendid 😂

[@charlescumberland6887]

I hope to see humans on Mars by my lifetime, I'm 18 years old. I'll be very disheartened if this does not happen considering we first landed on the Moon in 1969.

[@userwl2850]

Charles i hope to see that happen in my lifetime and im 50. I think you'll win. Damn im jealous. Enjoy

[@soulreaperichig0]

Charles Cumberland First feed the poor on Earth before exploring a fucking desert.

[@TheVanillatech]

soulreaperichig0 It is not profitable to feed the poor. They must die.

[@soulreaperichig0]

TheVanillatech No, we could cook dogs and give them. Dogs are useless so kill all pets and feed the poor.

im 40 i actually think its even possible in my lifetime.

[@CalvinHikes]

Does anyone know what the music playing at 21:30-ish is called?

What song is playing at 23:47? It's driving me nuts trying to figure it out...

[@so1zy]

ahh i love this show but it makes me depressed. people just don't want to fund space travel missions now :( maybe one day we can all join together and make it happen, but I don't think it'll happen in my lifetime

[@piotrwojtowicz2463]

44:10 It didn't work because human transmutation is forbidden

[@MatthewBendyna]

The exploration and colonization of space would not only increase the race's chance of survival, but it would have almost immediate economic benefits.

[@s.r.howell1297]

Is the atmosphere of Venus being renewed by volcanism faster than it can lose gasses? Also, Venus has a stronger gravitational field than Mars.

[@burnettis1]

Splendid 🇮🇪😜

[@edu5250]

"mars belongs to the martians" oh sweet sagan

[@dzarko55]

If Sagan knew how small NASA's budget is now, he'd make congress quadruple it. Then he'd marvel at Curiosity, and after that, make us go to mars and colonise it.

[@kroks.6704]

anyone know the name of the song that starts at 50:40?

[@Goettel]

+Krok S. cosmic_voyager.tripod.com/cosmosindex.htm

[@WritingandFighting]

48:26 Too bad that has yet to happen. I wonder the ratings it'd get though, since I bet more people are interested in watching Glee. -_-

[@Vacharidis]

"Imagine a rover with laser eyes" ....Sagan was prophet

[@StephenLee1]

The music that starts at 0:00:41 sounds like Pink Floyd. Anyone know who/what it is?

What is the song around 25:30 - 28:30 called?

[@GrayShark09]

57:25 When someone says something about spending billions and billions of dollars in space explorations I would remind them about the fact that humanity is spending trillions and trillions of dollars here on earth on weapons and military programs that are truley harmfull for our civilisation , it had become something so usual that nobody even noticed those obscene military budgets.

[@Kamikaz459]

maybe that mars is in a ice age and that the rovers are driving on the icy top of the ice wall

[@MrHotdiggitydog]

Wow, those mars rovers sure have come a long way from the dinosaur ones in the 70's.

[@LordOfNothingreally]

0:28:32 - the Great Nipple of Mars!

[@washcloud]

....I know space enthusiasts have been falling in love with Mars for millenia now,,,,but that was ridiculous :ρ

[@ShutterSnapped]

I feel there should be a symbol or a flag that could be created to stand for the human race when sending out such vehicles of interplanetary travel. There should be something to stand for more than just an American flag. It's not just America or Europe. When we enter the confounds and vastness of space outside of Earth, you're not American, Canadian, Italian, Japanese etc.. We're humanity.

[@MrTomyCJ]

Fortunately there has always been at least a sense of that. Even in the moon landings, they visited in the name of all mankind and left plaques with the entire world and so on.

[@camonegiehall]

8:10 Italian：canali→Enlish：canals

[@GyprockGypsy]

Terrible audio/video de-sync at 40:00.

[@livenletlive6945]

40.44 "...LIFE IS JUST A KIND OF CHEMISTRY OF SUFFICIENT COMPLEXITY TO PERMIT REPRODUCTION & EVOLUTION..!!!..."

[@jebsievers]

32:52 = "Sit on this, pal."

[@washcloud]

"...here's to you, gravity!", sounds better tho

[@AvNotasian]

creating a atmosphere on Mars would be foolish there's a reason why the atmosphere is so thin, its getting blown away by cosmic rays. you would need a magnetic field before a atmosphere.

[@MrTomyCJ]

We could "create" an atmosphere in say 10 thousand years. It takes the sun millions of years to blow it away. So even without a magnetic field, the atmosphere would last long enough.

[@ThatGamerGuy99]

12:30 mars the bringer of war from the planets

[@BradGatton]

I wonder if he ever watched Mars attack

[@EmperorLjas]

It's not the gravitational pull, but the mass of the molecules that keeps the atmosphere present. Note that both Mars and Venus have atmospheres almost completely composed of CO2.

[@glutinousmaximus]

Yes - Ares.

[@ief014]

Watching to celebrate Curiosity landing.

[@kingkong8974]

@JTlovesDexter Well, he didn't say that life didn't exist, surely there is life in D.C. but they are definitely not smart.

[@Ravenlord79]

If sagan had seen curiosity..

[@1ommm]

Is it just me or does Sagan sounds like Agent Smith

[@sorsocksfake]

Or at least people with an intelligent mindset. Smart enough to try and unite this fractured world, end nationalism, bigotry, religious hatred... and to let science be used to improve the world, rather than make the best profit. But... "It never ceases to surprise me at the infinite capacity of the human mind to resist the introduction of useful knowledge".

[@destroyallhumans12]

48:00 - 48:30ish Is essentially Curiosity. :D

[@nerfi3057]

Do you really want to bring that shit to Mars with us? Let's sort ourselves out before we go infecting other planets.

[@MrSvenovitch]

It will be better when every sentient creature is extinct and suffering finally stops. Carl Sagan sometimes liked the smell of his own farts too much.

[@JTlovesDexter]

LMAO @ no intelligent life can be seen in Washington DC - priceless!

[@kaga13]

LOL Sagan attempted human transmutation.

[@BibyDieudonne]

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
