JPL and the Space Age: The Stuff of Dreams

[@akshayagrawal7848]

JPL please never stop doing these documentaries! The world needs it. Don't let your management judge these science communication efforts based on metrics. For everyone who is deeply curious and smitten by exploration - these videos are invaluable.

[@deanmuhl7417]

You need to seriously wake up! These videos are absolutely nothing but a con job on the American taxpayer. Nothing but clear images doctored through CGI presented as exploration. Stop accepting lies because you want them to be true and start thinking critically about what is presented to you.

I love all of these documentary’s. I was born in 1966 and remember that last Apollo mission 17 in 1972. Now I am in to all things space and rockets, cosmology, astrology, astrophysics, astrobiology, etc. All due to JPL and NASA, and now with Commercial SPACE X, and than he others, can’’t wait for Artemis 1 on the 29th, sad, I get home from Venice Florida after 5 weeks on the 28th.

[@headninjadog8120]

These documentaries have been such a treasure. Watching the archive footage and graphics/animations have been nothing short of amazing! Plus, it’s amazing to hear from so many key people from the past missions and projects.

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

One of the best documentaries about space exploration. The teams at JPL have made the nearly impossible seem almost routine. Absolutely incredible and fantastic!!

[@DarkDragonPath]

These documentaries, thus far, have been nothing short of excellent. I find it interesting that the Voyager-Era, the thing JPL is almost synonymous with, and lauded for (even now, after Cassini, Juno, Spirit & Oppy, Curiosity, and Perseverance), was also quite a tumultuous and uncertain time for the lab. Let the explorers of science explore.

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

Simply excellent!

[@RV4aviator]

Superb...! Brave, Intelligent and driven people with a passion for exploration and knowledge end up being chosen by JPL/NASA. I struggled with Calculus and higher Maths/Physics in high school, but I loved the application of physics to engineer space craft. I've been a space fan/nut forever, and every space fan/nut knows JPL is the top of the pyramid ... Cheers. Long live JPL...!

[@AR-jq1hs]

[@oc2phish07]

What an excellent video. I have been following the space program since I was about 9 years old back in 1957 when Sputnik was launched. I have watched people who I regard as greats in the field including Patrick Moore, James Burke, the incredible Carl Sagan, Brian Cox, Michelle Thaller, Michio Kaku, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and many others. I watched the launch and moon landing of Apollo 11, on TV rather than in person unfortunately, and the launch of the first shuttle. I watched the shuttle as it was transported on the back of a Boeing 747 and flew over Windsor Castle here in England in 1983. I am a firm believer in space exploration and feel this is definitely the way forward for mankind. One day I would love to visit JPL and watch a 'live' launch from Cape Canaveral.

[@alanrandall49]

@oc2phish07 ... I agree with everything you said, I have also lived through most of what you have experienced, I also have the same enthusiasm for space exploration that you have, maybe that’s because we both observed the manned Moon landings as young men, I’m still hoping to witness humans walking on Mars before I pass away! 😉

39:27 Anyone else remember the Voyager scene in the Commodore Amiga commercials of summer 1985? The first commercial (and possibly only one) showed a wireframe Voyager flying by Jupiter.

How lucky we are in 2023. What scientists dreamers and hunter gatherers sitting beside a fire, looking up, wondering if it possible to explore these planets from close up. Humans worked out how to get happening. Dinosaurs lived for 100s of millions of years, they didn't send stuff to Neptune,our primate ancestors didn't build telescopes..in a relatively short time scale,we have done it. No robots, visiting aliens gave us advice or a KZbin instruction video. If we don't destroy ourselves, what can we be capable of in 100, 1000,10000 or 100000 years?? Our journey has just begun..

[@Thisandthat8908]

good Job JPL managed to get Galileo working as good as it did after it being royally messed up by the idiotic forced (and delayed) shuttle launch. One of the weirder ideas Nasa ever had, forced by politicians with no plan. And it was far from easier or cheaper. It probably was good for future missions which were allowed to launch on a "boring" normal rocket.

We’d accomplish throwing 10% of the budget down the drain. Maybe you didn’t hear and have been away for the last 30 years but Nasa can’t even get us to earth orbit and back much less t do anything something new we haven’t done before. And I don’t understand why people think it’s Boeing who can’t do it when Nasa is the one who is responsible in the end. Boeing is a joke but it’s NASA job to get in space and they can’t do it.

Desire is a source of frustration that has brought down the lives of many great people across the globe. Because they follow their senses too much , let the lack of satisfaction of life dominate the heart , he said : " to achieve better worldly things . " Lust if followed continuously , will never end . Hoping continuously for worldly pleasures and glory is tantamount to increasing the possibility of the world failing us. The higher the expectation to obtain the glitter of noble material, the higher the number of depression that may be experienced in the future. Therefore , do not want to be bothered with the high interest provocation that is spread by the popular media and the people around us . Instead, feel satisfied with what you have and enjoy life as it is. Just keep focusing on God and give opportunities to share with others in between lessons and work.

[@booklover6753]

Not true. Good administration is important, but it's the scientists and engineers that make the missions work successfully. It's all possible because of a group effort. No administrator can secure funding for a lab staffed by dummies.

[@tsennhauser]

book lover I understand your comments. Ok, sure. But the people who enable the complex execution are the engineers, not the scientists. Think of propulsion, navigation, communication, instrumentation, and system engineering. The scientists are the beneficiaries and, of course, mankind overall. But despite the recognition the engineers deserve for their superb skills, it takes visionary and tenacious leadership to get congress approve the program and to keep the projects on track, not to mention to keep complex teams working together and motivated during inevitable setbacks that will occur over time.

I remember the Reagan years--they were as bad as was depicted here. NASA itself has still not learned the lessons of that period. While the destruction of Challenger served to undermine the unhealthy focus on a single, very expensive and ultimately flawed 'ticket to space', the STS, it took the destruction of another orbiter, the Columbia, to end it. Yet here we are, still awaiting the outcome of $30bn in development costs associated with the SLS, a space launch system that is essentially a dead end. In the meantime, JPL's work has gone from strength-to-strength. Let's hope that JPL can carry on as new space launch capabilities--most notably the promising Starship system being developed by SpaceX---offer the prospect of sending powerful exploration craft back to the outer solar system (and possibly beyond).
