"Pale Blue Dot" - KSP Movie

[@scottmanley]

Magnificent.

[@Endeesea]

Absolutely stunning. Anything that highlights Sagan's works get's a huge thumbs up from me

[@JamesYee]

It's bad of me to go, "Voyager doesn't play the record while floating out there." I blame the fact that I actually tracked the bird for a decade that my mind goes there first. Still a great video though. Artistic licence. :)

[@ConnorFindlay]

Wow, a lot of effort went into this, and it shows.

[@Nassault]

Thanks Scott

"On a mote of dust... suspended in a sunbeam."

[@sammadden9931]

I cried. That speech is beautiful. Rest in Peace, Carl Edward Sagan.

[@victor_silva6142]

why does the sentient beings... waste theirs efforts in search the threshold of outer space... looking for other signs of inteligent life? And this little cute man named Jebediah just answered me. "bekause friendchip is kood "

[@iregretmyusernamedecision5924]

i want there to be a time where kerbals and humans live together and can be epic

[@kerbodynamicx472]

I regret my username decision When after many times of reverting flight, respawning and kraken attacks, Jeb asked: what if we lived in a simulation?

[@BoarhideGaming]

You know what scares me? There might be, or most likely are other species out there somewhere, with equal or more advanced technologies and space travel. They might, one day, happen to stumble upon this little drone, the voyager. They will react like we would. Surprised, scared, curious. They follow the coordinates, after years of traveling, they arrive in our solar system, locate the blue planet. When they start to orbit it, they are confused. That planet doesn't seem to have habitable conditions. They send out a lander and when they start to fly above the surface they are absolutely horrified. They are in terror: there is nothing left alive. The ground is cracked, dried out. Traces of civilizations, buildings, parks, harbors, streets, everything is destroyed. The radiation on this planet is too high even for their advanced ships. They were a hundred years too late.

[@PingKerman]

they would be a couple million/billion years late, it will take millennium for the voyager probes to reach a distant planet, by the time that happens we will either no longer exist because our species died out, evolved, or we abandoned earth and became stellar beings

[@BoarhideGaming]

Well, neither you nor me nor anybody on this planet can safely say what is out there. It might just as well be that the voyager passed some sort of Einstein-Rosen bridge and the species that found it might know how to navigate those. We have explored and understood so very few things in this universe, this was just a sudden idea I had. I found it deeply troubling.

[@ASpaceOstrich]

BoarhideGaming Astronomers and those in their field can totally say what's out there, that's what they do for a living. Voyager will be found, if it ever is, by somebody picking up it's transmissions and physically going to get it. Personally I expect we'll find it, if we get some form of "jump drive" we'll overtake it, and be momentarily alarmed by these strange signals we're picking up, until we realise what it is.

[@johncarlocagas]

This gave me shivers down my spine...

[@BoarhideGaming]

***** the universe is so unbelievably massive, I can't possibly imagine that any human has just the slightest idea of what we might one du fun out there...if we don't bomb each other to pieces before that. We might have assumptions, we can guess but I don't think we'll know for at least several centuries.

[@NonExistingName]

Oh my god. This was... powerful. I was honestly wispering "no" to myself when the craft started burning and desintegrating in the re-entry. But a huge smile was drawn on my face when I saw it gently lower, supported by the parachute. Kerbals are the most visionaire, courageous, intelligent and curious species I know. Even more than humans. Now there's a feat to be proud of.

[@PawelK198604]

I would love to see Humanity, reminded Kebalkind in thier curiosity and quest for adventure:-)

[@Donnerino]

Humans are like kerbals reimagined in the minds of the game developers were stupid were fun loveing were intelligent lovable and everything else about us is in them

[@PawelK198604]

LeTrollFace21 I would love to see human going into deep space extrapolation as it was during Apollo era, I was not in the world when astronauts walked on the moon, I hope that I see it in my lifetime Von Braun was a great man maybe he was a Nazi and had a lot on his conscience, but he was a man of vision, a shame that such people no longer exists

[@Owlpunk]

Magnificent. Simply... magnificent. I've heard that speech dozens, perhaps even _hundreds_ of times. Yet it still moves me to tears. Thank you so much. BTW: The camerawork and editing in this is _really_ impressive, much better than in most other KSP videos. Kudos.

[@SwervinJirvin]

I keep coming back to this every few years. This is such an important video to me.

[@devNeverless]

I feel you, ever since it was released

[@armeture27]

I was really expecting for them to get there and discover the ruins of humanity, but not humanity itself. Or, the remains of a once habitable planet that was stripped of it;s atmosphere, or something like that. Or a happy ending where they make contact with humans. Either way, it was a great short film. I loved it.

[@mjyfs]

In the time it would take one of the Voyager probes to get to another star; mankind would most likely be long gone, and almost all traces of our civilizations would have disappeared as well. In a sad way; the Voyager probe that made the Kerbals go to earth might be the only thing left to tell the tale of humanity. Our own little message in a bottle, having reached distant shores to tell the tale of a world of creatures that looked up at the sky and thought "is there anyone out there?".

[@armeture27]

[@CaptRobau]

Thanks Nassault and Rareden. This film made me realize who small our little blue planet really is. I never heard Sagan's Blue Dot speech before, but even without his eloquent words this movie was enough to move me to tears. Can't imagine how you would top this, but knowing you guys, you probably will. Even if you don't get 5 million views, know that at least this Kerbalnaut was touched by what you made.

[@KASASpace]

Truly, all we are is a pile of molecules with the miraculous ability to think. But that's only part of it. We can emote, we have morals. We have concepts that are cherished and concepts that are destroyed. We are nothing but protons, neutrons, and electrons, plus there respective makes. That's it. We think so highly of ourselves even though all other things are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. We, in the scale of the Universe, at least for now, are truly nothing.

[@alwasitacatisaw1275]

How can I describe my experience of this masterpiece... before I saw this movie I probably never had to struggle with tears, but this one... those pictures... the first rondevouz above kerbin... it made me feel how tiny humanity and how unimportant our daily routine might be. To see a single satellite as the only sign of humanity to the unknown space... never thought about that before. It just made me question our own stupidity. Our hate against each other... war, fear... You might realize, that this movie made me think a lot. Its brilliant.

[@matthewseligman5470]

Words alone cannot describe this video. You, Mr.Nassault sir, will be Squad's first choice to direct KSP: The movie. Enough said.

[@littlebigheroman]

This has been the most worthwhile 20 minutes I have ever spent on KZbin. I was weeping at the beauty and the power of this film...never has the longing to explore, to reach further been more strongly ingrained in my mind. This made me homesick, and I live here on earth. When I think of humanity, I embrace the flaws as well as the strengths. I embrace our failures and successes. Because without both, we would not be truly...human.

The quotes you have included fit perfectly, they also help to emphasise what a reflection it can be on the human species as a whole. The whole video really brings home just what might happen if the Voyager VI probe was found by an alien race and the possible repercussions.

Have some faith in our species. Any species advanced enough to travel between stars also has the power to annihilate us in an instant. I wouldn’t be too worried about shooting it down.

[@johnpooky84]

It depends on where they landed. North Korea, Iran, and Russia would be the most likely to blow them out of the sky. China would probably let them land, then capture them to steal their technology, so they can make cheap Chinese knockoffs. America would be the best place to land. Specifically, either Florida (The Kennedy Space Center would be a comforting sight for them), South Dakota (given that they landed in the forest, that's a possibility, anyway), or Boca Chica, Texas (the exploding rockets would be a comforting sight for them).
