I remember going on this ride like twice as a little kid and it always stuck with me. It really puts into perspective the story of humanity and the amazing progress we’ve made as a species

So they called it "Spaceship Earth" because nobody would get on a ride called "The History of Books". :)

There would be even less riders if they called it “The Librarian’s Story”.

Loool

[@kenzzierr]

No…?? it’s about the changes of earth dumbass

[@k.h.4698]

@@kenzzierr technically, Earth is a planet in our Solar System, part of the Milky Way galaxy. Planets, being purely physical (hence physics) can not care less about the habitants communication methods. Laura’s point was that emphasizing the softer (social science) side of earth (communication history) sounds dull, educational, and non-entertaining by many, unless they “jazz up” the attraction name to something sounding galaxial. I think Laura’s comment was funny and well understood by anybody who has studied communication, and history of information. Not to mention all those professionals who constantly try to break the stereotype that all librarians do is just tell people to shush up.

[@Blgbecky]

I know it’s called spaceship earth, but I have always called it the giant golf ball. And it is one of my favorite rides.

[@musicgirl999]

Yep! I remember my first visit like it was yesterday and that was in 2009!

[@rkr9861]

It's a real shame that they cut the final two inventions. Realtime video conference calling was a big deal when it finally arrived in the late 2000s, as proven by the current epidemic, and realtime language translation is just barely starting to get within reach. The story of communication doesn't actually end until we solve faster-than light long distance communication and computer-brain I/O, but we're getting closer!

[@dje6719]

grew up on this ride the lore is great

[@anesthetized7053]

i think i have had conflated memories between this and space mountain, at disney in los angeles since i was a child. they were completely separate events basically combined into one memory, as i experienced them at an age too young to fully comprehend which was which. when i went back to disney LA as an adult, it felt like there was something that was off/missing from space mountain. space mountain went through an overhaul that i was aware of at the time, but it still felt like something was off, though i couldnt quite place what it was. i wrote it off as a bad overhaul up until now. but after watching this video it became clear that it was two different events that i misremembered as having happened at the same place and time. i travelled to florida on vacation around age 6, around the same time that i would have first visited disneyland as a child, and i didnt remember the distinction between the two rides and sort of amalgamated them into one cohesive experience. now i want to go back and revisit this ride. it looks very cool and slightly updated from what i remember from the early 2000's. also i learned late in life that my stepmother played/ plays a major role in the supply of LED lit drapery to disney theme parks. its entirely possible that some of her work was in some way part of the backgrounds to a few of my earliest memories in the form of the starlit backdrops along the corridors of the ride.

[@paul08211973]

I know this is titled POV (4K), but it should be titled Better Than Being There. The camera's light capturing ability has to be better than at least my eyes ability to see in there. Also as many times as I have ridden it, I have never better able to clearly understand what the "Extra, Extra" boy is saying. And I have certainly never heard what the guys at the telegraph are saying. Now I know they were talking about the completion of the Trans Continental Railroad being completed in Promontory Point Utah in 1869. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

I miss the Walter Cronkite version. When you got to the top there was a Apollo capsule and a astronaut floating in space. It was pretty spectacular even when you spun around and saw the other side of the scene as you descended backwards.

[@wmr6735]

@Daniel Brockman Early '90s when I was there. Just look on KZbin for "1992 Retro Spaceship Earth Walter Cronkite Vintage Version" I could be wrong about the spaceship with the astronaut, but I still like Walter's version better.

[@magicalthemeparks]

i am very impressed with the camera you used.. may i ask which one? i have never gotten the beginning scene of the cave people trying to kill that Mastedon. either didnt focus properly or was too dark. I had older cameras that were low light, but did black and white only. i have a new cheap 4k camera that is IR, but also has ir lights, which the CM's think are regular lights on their displays, and yell at me over the speakers to turn it off.

Considering that with each renovation comes a new narrator, we probably won’t have Judi Dench in the new version. On that note, who do you think would be a decent narrator for the upcoming version? I personally think that it would be amusing if they had someone from Doctor Who do the job, like David Tennant or Christopher Eccleston!

[@Amy-hj1qb]

People! Without masks! The good old days... I sure miss this version of Disney. 🥰

[@franciscopastrana2538]

it is definitely an old video

[@sarahprince2412]

Well we could go back to normal if people would STOP treating covid like it’s the damn plague. It’s an aggressive flu. That’s it. We just need to get exposed already to develop herd immunity. That means enough with the social distancing, quarantine and being forced to wear masks. It shouldn’t be treated any differently than all the other DEADLIER diseases and viruses that we have because it really is nowhere near as deadly as they claim it is. So once again when people actually come to their senses and realize that it’s a damn flu(just an aggressive form) and get back to normal then everything will be ok and we can get back to living our lives again. Before anyone calls me a Karen or gripes me out about covid needs to realize that media has been giving nothing but FALSE info on covid. Hospitals and doctors are being paid to claim higher covid cases and deaths(been proven multiple times). Most people survive and get over covid. Fauci has been WRONG on every one of his predictions about covid. It’s been around back in Nov. and yet we were fine, no high death rates, overwhelmed hospitals, no high cases, etc. etc. Cases are only going up because for one thing hospitals are claiming the numbers are higher when in fact they aren’t and two we were forced to shut down and quarantine therefore we weren’t around each other but now we are so it makes sense for the numbers to go back up. Like I said, the only way to get numbers to go down is to develop herd immunity by getting everyone exposed so we can build up a healthy immune system and antibodies. Sick people need to take precautions by wearing a mask and whatnot if they feel more comfortable doing that but everyone else just needs to get back to normal already. It’s a virus people and NOT the plague. Stop acting so afraid of this already.

[@Amy-hj1qb]

@@sarahprince2412 wow. This is a pretty aggressive response. I think I need to clarify - I was posting in jest about people not wearing masks. I believe that Covid is harmless for the most part and I do not look at Fauci as anything but a guy standing to make big money off the vaccines he recommends. I think you really misunderstood my comment.

[@sarahprince2412]

@@Amy-hj1qb I wasn’t trying to sound aggressive. Sorry about that. I just want everyone to realize that we shouldn’t be afraid of covid. I’m sick and tired of the media and the hospitals and doctors(I worked in the medical field) giving so much false information and scaring people. I’m tired of everyone acting so afraid of this damn flu because that’s really what it is. It just spreads faster and there’s upper respiratory issues that go with it. But like I stated, most people survive covid and we will only get the numbers down and get over it faster if we just get exposed to it and develop herd immunity. A vaccine probably won’t be around for a few years. We can’t do all these measures forever. It’s just time to get back to normal already. Your comment was sooo true though. Once again wasn’t trying to sound aggressive. I’m just over this craziness and want to get back to normal.

[@Amy-hj1qb]

@@sarahprince2412 couldn’t agree more. My health is my responsibility. I don’t need the government assessing risk factors for me or my family. The sooner we accept the .0003% mortality rate the sooner we can burn these stupid masks and get on with life. Staying home is only delaying the spread. Not stopping it. I’m as fed up as you are. 😉
