JPL and the Space Age: The Hunt for Space Rocks

[@linesided]

A huge thank you and deepest respect to the men and women who made this possible, and dared to dream it was even possible in the first place. It's a joy to watch.

[@SamanthaWilliams-qw3uw]

If you live in the rural areas Keep an eye on sunrise and sunset just as it passes the horizon is the best time to spot planet x just behind the sun , sadly I live in town now and don't get to see it due to the artificial lights

[@Glenn-F-Rice]

​@@SamanthaWilliams-qw3uwmy first home was in town behind a Chevrolet dealership. I got used to rain hitting cars and concrete. When I moved to the country and was sitting on the porch the rain sounded funny. It was hitting leaves and grass. Clear skies are under rated by far.

[@richardzeitz54]

This is an excellent production! As a person who grew up watching those old school NOVA documentaries on PBS, in the 1970s and 1980s, this production is exactly my speed. If you like information dense, clearly produced, no silly frills documentaries, this is for you. This is a what educational video should be - highly informative, well structured, dense. Wonderful!

Amazing set of documentaries… lots to learn from… please keep sharing your experience in this format… I am sure there are masses of science enthusiasts who will one day or the other definitely be looking back to this! Love from India 🇮🇳

[@rustymotor]

I am amazed how space research has progressed in my lifetime, I remember the Voyager missions and loved looking at the images when they were published and also the Mars Viking landers. I also remember at School a teacher said that Venus was most likely a cloud wrapped tropical water world inhabited by Lizard people floating on rafts, I was so disappointed when the Soviet Venera missions finally reached the surface and revealed the true state of venus, no Lizard people to visit. Anyway I hope to live long enough to see more exciting Space missions and maybe find life on one of Jupiters or Saturns moons!

@rustymotor maybe lizzard ppl live closer than you think m8 lol

[@jameslatimer3600]

I don't know your age, but at my age, 92, I was a child when international flight was not a thing, radios & TVs were not a thing, computers were not a thing, astronauts standing on the outer end of the Canada arm were beyond imagining, cell phones were not a thing and the great bands sound became the thing (singers were an option), this is a different world than the one I knew. It would be great if you could take the memory of all that change with you when you go.

[@PeterKluge]

thank god there is JPL providing uns with the finest in space documentaries! This is so in depth, one could think u guys actually work on this stuff ;)

[@timohearn4454]

The DART mission certainly sits upon the shoulders of great scientists and engineers. Can't imagine that mission would be possible without prior work ans successes such as this. Such beautiful and wonderful work.

[@kspencerian]

This has been a wonderful series, and this one had importance that comes literally close to home. You've done general videos on many Mars and outer planet trips. How about some love for Mariner 10, MESSENGER and the incoming BepiColombo--and why we've sent so few things there, and what missions might land something there. A Venus show would be naturally populated with Venera stuff, so perhaps a Mercury/Venus show? Thanks again.

[@geekyoyd]

CGI is so good nowadays it is often hard to tell what is CGI and what is real footage. I think it would be a good idea for JPL to put a little CGI flag in the corner of the screen when we are watching CGI or REAL when we are watching real footage. The only KZbinr who does this that I know is Astrum. I think all documentary makers should do this, including JPL. I think it matters.

[@Razm-a-Tazzi]

@atomsmurf, yes, I feel the same way. As Humanity seems to be ever more determined to destroy itself, to argue and bicker, jockey for position and, generally, destroy itself by such behavior and with wars and nuclear bombs, I find myself more and more drawn to these videos. They remind me of the mysteries of the universe and the miracle of Earth and all life upon it and, most likely, life elsewhere in the Universe. They give me a broader perspective on life, how blessed we are, how tenuous life is and remind me to be grateful for our incredible planet and for Life itself.

I just have one thing to say. I'm not an astrophysicist I have no type of degree on the subject. But I have heard many people speak who have such degrees let's say we should not have any type of asteroid belt within the planets and comets should not exist. There is only one explanation for why they do and it is because there was at one point another planet in our solar system that was struck by the 9th planet that was recently finally proven to be in existence. Call it Planet X or Nibiru or whatever when it smashed through that other planet a left large chunks of its crust and Globs of its ocean that of course in zero gravity will turn into giant water droplets. Hence comets are created. The only thing that makes sense for how water would exist in such large quantities out in space and would be full of debris. Just

7:10 Hecklefish was right: LIZZID PEEPLE! I love that guy, watch him at The Why Files. That aside: This is a great movie, I love the comment, he sounds just like out of the fifties. And certainly the exitement when the mission works out. The Band was great, too!

[@dr.swaster8763]

Great documentary. Amazing detail of all the major asteroid missions. My only critique was with the comment ≈ 1:45:00 when they state a spacecraft isn’t available to respond in time. We should have one by now with the cooperation of SpaceX. Their ability to launch within a few days should provide the launch capability. We just need to have the spacecraft capable of reaching the asteroid with the ordinance.

[@Inthegarage685]

Good to hear the correct pronunciation of Uranus. People can’t really conceive how volatile our solar system is and how fragile but yet mere coincidence how life on earth has formed.

[@SunflowerFlowerEmpire]

Yes ! More of this and less of war !!

[@mrhassell]

In 1905, an incident called the Tunguska event occurred in Siberia. This event was caused by a small part of Comet Enki that exploded in the air, approximately 5 miles above a mostly empty forest. The explosion had a massive impact of 15 megatons and leveled the forest, including Reindeer herd. If a similar event were to occur, arising from the Taurids, came at Earth from around the back of the Sun, with an impact over Canada, on the same parallel as Siberia, what could happen? It would leave little time to act and mean catastrophe in Canada. Just 1 scenario.

[@LEEHOLMES-gq2gj]

Load's of respect to all these engineers who create these new technology's. Well done 👏👏👏✌🇬🇧👍

[@chrismofer]

11:20 I was confused about why they would want spinning sail blades, but it looks like the idea is to simplify the structure because the mylar sails are stiffened with centripetal forces so you don't need heavy bulky structure you can just unfurl long rolled up miles of mylar, and by varying the angle of the strips from the hub in the middle you can spin it up or down on the fly or induce attitude changes. pretty clever

[@schools6555]

I really enjoyed this movie back in the day. It's too bad it bombed at the box office. I felt it was a little underrated admittedly not the greatest movie and was a slow burn but deserved to at least break even. Very solid breakdown, well done!
