Pluto and Beyond FULL SPECIAL (2019) | NOVA | PBS America

[@manderssteve]

I met Clyde Tombaugh who discovered Pluto, on Nov. 6 1989 at Queen's University in Kingston Ontario. I was with my son David age 9, we purchased the very last copy of his book " Out of the Darkness" and Clyde autographed it for him . He added, " May your world be as big as the heavens above" What a treasurer to have.

[@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).

[@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

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....

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

England get in there brother

[@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 !!!!!!

[@BR-io9vm]

calm down.

[@aethellstan]

absolutely bloody fantastic. Love new horizons, what a mission.

[@xir10]

Simply amazing! One of the best technological and suspenseful feats of all time, with a happy ending...very thrilling, no doubt. Enjoyed it a lot. Thanks!!

[@robbannstrom]

Brilliant project, amazing results, a great story of human ingenuity, technical wizardry, and sheer adventure.

[@richardfullon3648]

Wooow, I am also impressed by your talent, thank you very much to all of you because our knowledge about the planets and outside the solar system has also increased

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

Pluto! My favourite (dwarf 😢) planet! Yes it’s getting watched 🤩🤩

[@brentsarazin6597]

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

[@thevikingwarrior]

My favourite planet is Jupiter! I am in love with Jupiter, and I have been ever since I was a tiny child. But I was just itching to see Pluto of course.

[@Justwantahover]

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

[@sudiptoatutube]

This presentation is even more thrilling than the best of the best hollyhood movies! Absolutely Awesome!

[@MzeeMoja1]

Everything being said here can probably be compacted to 15 minutes but it's amazing how they stretch it out to hours of repetition and restating and rephrasing. Example: You can't aim at the planet directly, but a distance ahead. This small fact required shooting rounds in the air and a books worth of words. Amazing.

[@Asur-slayer]

Just like your 7 lines of comments which can be phrased by 1 line..😂

[@martavdz4972]

It´s much easier to remember abstract space concepts when you see analogies from life on Earth described in detail.

What is that white band where the two speres are joined? Water ice? Possibly flash melted when the two objects came into contact and then flash frozen binding them together for eternity ? Any comments ?

[@chegenjonjo1381]

This is one of the best I've ever watched

[@danielgwatkin]

Wow it brought tears to my eyes watching this

[@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.

[@Reladan187]

Exactly. I wish bigger companies like this would realize, that nobody really likes this waaaaay too enthusiastic narrating style. It's annoying

[@panroman8970]

well said, i don't watch tv since 2003, 2004, similar format in poland, unwatchable, too much yelling commercials, less content​@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn

[@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.

[@martavdz4972]

The point is, these things are interconnected. Irrigation of dry places in Africa is done with the help of drones that use GPS that couldn´t have been created without - you guessed it - space exploration.

Nova people, PBS people, I love you guys, I love what you do... but come on, it's SCIENCE, we DO NOT need all the drama and whooshing cuts and spine-tingling edge-of-your-seat theatrics... we're intelligent human beings. You're reporting science. Science is interesting. You don't have to add fluff to try to make it more interesting.

[@geosobservations9496]

You go read a journal, then. 😅

[@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.

[@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.

[@teachmehowtodoge1737]

Dang.. I didn't know finding a space peanut is this difficult 😂

[@cadderley100]

You have to hand it to Nasa. They are truly inspirational. I still disagree with the demotion of Pluto. The IAU didn't have the right to make that decision for themselves. I wasn't asked my opinion. As far as I am concerned, Pluto is still a planet in our solar system. That guy just said it himself. When you take the characteristics of Pluto, it's still a planet, just in miniature.

[@attosharc]

This is so heartwarming and inspiring. Human ingenuity really can AND WILL conquer all. Congratulations and continuing success to the New Horizons team, and all those who explore the boundaries of space and knowledge !!!

Question, why did New Horizons fly some 2,500 miles from Ultima T. ? Why not closer? Is this a collision avoidance issue?

Because as expected they missed their calculation again. And to save their ass they render CGI 3D rock to make it clearer.

So did David and Jane discovered the Kuiper belt or did they discover a planetoid in the Kuiper belt? Narrator suggests they discovered a belt that Kuiper stole from them in 1951 and has to be renamed. I always thought the Kuiper belt is where a lot of comets come from. If you gonna rename it then I guess Tombough gets the priority since he discovered the biggest object in it..

I like how every space mission story told has a grain of sand traveling thousands of miles per hour that could destroy the craft. I've been alive long enough to have seen the all the Apollo missions, landings on the moon, space stations, dozens of space walks, the space shuttle program, building of the ISS, Mars rovers, satellites to numerous to mention sent to all our planets to explore, even one to our sun and not a one of them has encountered that grain of sand, infact the only thing that has destroyed a space craft was human error.

Come on, PBS, smarten up. 20:29 I can't finish this documentary on account of the narration. It's such a clash to hear the scientists speak in the past tense (which is correct) and then the narrator speak in the present.
