You space people are amazing ! So glad your spacecraft managed to avoid those minute pieces of potential mission destroying particles. Congratulations from England.

[@markshillaw3536]

England get in there brother

[@THE16THPHANTOM]

the narrator reminds me so much of why i dont watch National Geographic anymore or TV for that matter.

[@kamion53]

National Geographic on tv was about the biggest letdown I can remember. I took a special subscription to have it in my cable combination. a lot of "ow ah" "be back after the commercial" ten repeat from before and just a tiny bit of new information and "ow ah" again. It wasted 50 minutes of an hour for information that could be told in 5 minutes.

[@5Andysalive]

at some time in the early 2000's especially US TV documentaries became unwatchable. Stupid drama, dumbed down narrative, 3 word pieces from scientists in between. Not to forget the dramatic walk in, with rotating camera... Whoever came up with this forumla has ruined documentaries. The BBC still hasn't gone down that road, and a few other, less commercial, ad driven broadcasters. But even some youtubers do better than this. The Astrum video on Pluto beats this one here by miles. It just gets to the point, delivers information (and nice visuals) and that's it.

[@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn]

I haven't watched TV since about 2007. I don't watch movies or listen to modern popular entertainment of any kind. It's all plastic, PC vapid garbage

[@jamespkinsella5018]

It's amazing and wonderul to see the dedication and willpower of scientists in this video comfortably from my warm home. We owe them!

[@kobolds638]

dedication to see 2 stone stack each other ? for what

[@user-wf7pe3zb8q]

You won't be so comfortable if the WEF and Greens get their way when you will be forced to graze in a field chewing grass dreaming of the technologies and comforts that used to exist....

I guess those folks that dissed at Pluto as a Planet should start eating their word.

[@patricedechabot1708]

What you have realised is so immense !!!! Thank's SOOOOO much for this epic adventure ! The best was that your video is like a real thriller as you had to aim and shoot at the target a substantial time before you shot dead the killer behind the door... Bravissimo !!!!!!

Ultima Thule does not mean 'beyond the fartherst frontier', it means litterally "the ultimate frontier".

More interesting than any action movie. Well done!

[@jillianc949]

This brings back memories of all the excitement over the Pluto and Arrokoth flybys - good times! I hope the New Horizons team are able to find other Kuiper Belt objects to explore with the spacecraft's remaining fuel (which is supposed to be good until the 2030s).

[@chegenjonjo1381]

This is one of the best I've ever watched

[@SupraSav]

What a conundrum humanity faces. If we do not efficiently use our current resources, we might be "doomed" to this planet forever. Never able to reach and utilize the limitless resources among the stars. When our fascination ends with every space rock in the cosmos, hopefully there will be something for our children to still call home.

[@Justwantahover]

At last a space video with real information from real people.

[@user-pr8cw7zx1t]

We need our common humanity to come together in the same manner and spirit as the scientists to solve our problems and develop enlightened ideas on building a united cooperative World Civilization !

It was so intriguing and fun to watch~ Loved it ❤

This is my favorite topic inspiring proud of them ❤

[@IngOehman]

No, David Jewitt! The Sun could be said having “about” 1000 000 times the volume of the Earth (actually more like 1 300 000 times the Earth volume). But the density is much lower, so the mass is just a third of 1000 000 times the mass of Earth. 1000 000/3 or 333 000 times higher. The Earth by the way, has the highest density of all planetary objects (Pluto included! 😉) in the solar system.

Very educational...extremely interesting.

[@kamion53]

I always love those animation with asteroids flying by the camera as if it were trees along the road. It is very suggestive while in reality there would be ages between two objects passing. It is very hard to grasp how enormous the distances are between objects in space. So many people tend to downsize that to the models and textbook illustrations.

Ultima Thule is looking like *_damru_* of lord Shiva. Like two objects stick to each other. And lord Shiva is considered the destroyer of universe in hinduism.

[@seorangteman4210]

wooooooooowwwwww.... they'd measure and calculate ultima thule size (20 miles long) from 4 billion miles? from star blinks? 2 frame from 5 telescopes? OMG

Probably with the money from a single weapon of mass destruction you could have sent enough fuel to get it into orbit for a very long time.

Is it possible that Pluto we seen today is the core being resulted of the failure of Pluto to capture gases due to too weak gravitational force ?

[@larrywalsh9939]

@@geosobservations9496 Ah. Yes. Good point. After all, there's nothing possible in between over-dramatized presentation and reading a journal. Producers can't possibly make a documentary that's not at the extremes, right? I totally get what you're saying. I mean, after all, Carl Sagan's excellent presentations on Cosmos were absolutely filled with nothing but fluff and pandering computer animations, decades before computer animation was a thing.
