The Voyage Beyond the Solar System [4K]

Of all the spacecraft to have visited other worlds, there are two which have travelled further than any other, discovering more about the Solar System than their inventors ever could have imagined. They are the legendary pair of Voyager Probes; still the only spacecraft ever to have visited the Ice Giant planets, Uranus and Neptune. And the story of their 40 years in space makes up the topic of our video today- from the gas giants, to the ice worlds, and then out into the depths of interstellar space...

I grew up with the Voyager missions and they are what piqued my interest in the universe. You did a wonderful job with this presentation. Truly honoring the little probes that could!

I was 6 months old when the Voyagers were launched and to think they have been travelling nearly as long as I've been alive is incredible

[@G02372]

Snap 👍 When he said they have been travelling for nearly half a century it made me feel old 😂

[@bakedatoms]

Yep they had been traveling in 1980’s for 8 years before I was born. That’s super crazy

[@datbarricade9995]

This is seriously some of the highest quality content I have found on KZbin and I dig every second of it. The CGI visuals in general, all the included photos, but also smaller details like the choice of titles, fonts, animations and transitions... and obviously your script and narrations. It is insanely good and I hope you know how much your work is appreciated.

[@Lukesky2525]

It's intriguing and very romantic to think that Clyde Tombaugh is the first and only interplanetary traveler in human history with his ashes on board the New Horizons spacecraft far out at 56 AU! It's really awesome! Great video mate ❤

Thank you very much, Sam. This trilogy has been quite a trip. Please keep the good work. We'll be waiting for the next banger!

What currency is that? Not sure what HUF stands for. Still, even if it isn't exactly $15,000 USD, (obviously it isn't gonna be exactly that much if you know anything about money) i would imagine it's a lot.

I was born a few days after the Voyager missions took off so it always boggles my mind that the Voyager probes have been out there my whole life.

Always glad to see new SEA videos.

[@Ken-fh4jc]

Sam, this might be your best work yet. You always seem to capture that wonder we all had about space as children. Thank you I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.

[@Charwi]

Nah that joke at the end took me out 🤣🤣 what a fantastic documentary as always. Love it!

[@ML-jf1xe]

A bit disturbing to send ashes over here

[@TerpstraMark]

People who are listening to this without the video the joke entirely xD

[@robertmcneil5648]

The series are stunning pieces of work, well done, merry Christmas, looking forward to your work in 2024 👏

[@sephestra.]

Amazing video, Sam. Your efforts are truly appreciated. And yeah, I got a little choked up when I realized how long it would be before any of these craft reach another star system. Not the first time I cried because of space-related stuff. =)

[@christopherh9897]

There is always the possibility that one or both of the Voyagers might get picked up by alien ships on the galactic highway.

[@crimzontoast7181]

"Dark was the night" by Blind Willie Johnson being on the golden record chokes me up for some reason. Him being blind and feeling lonely in the darkness, just like our pale blue dot..

[@Alex-bw6yd]

Fingers crossed that we can get starshot to be feasible. If we get it working and on its way to Alpha Centauri, we could have a picture of its solar system in something like 24 years if I remember correctly.

[@TerminusCodex]

Between the music, his voice, and the content this was another masterpiece! Thank you for continuing to do this work, out of all of the available content on KZbin you are my absolute favorite!

[@teapot_]

Thanks Sam, very enjoyable, very well put together. Could have listened to a lot more. Hopefully, you'll keep them coming and will keep the standards just as high.

[@johndc2998]

The way you explained the thin blue dot was next level.

[@CAPSLOCKPUNDIT]

We can thank Carl Sagan for the inspiration, much of the phrasing, and the original image. So it was actually kinda last level.

[@DhakaiyaHunter]

I have a request... Can you guys make a video about Plank Measurements (plank length, plank time, plank temperature etc.) please! Your videos are the best and watching your videos feels really special.🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@skycloud4802]

If I remember right, are they the smallest measurements, right?

[@mattkay439]

There are very few channels on youtube that i get excited about when a new video releases but this i really do.

[@danielleriley2796]

Imagine designing or building or operating one of those deep space probes and then seeing this video and others like it. The thought of “I did that” would be so pleasing and satisfying. Just think of how our knowledge has advanced through these space missions, it’s almost unimaginable how much pride the family’s of the people that enabled this for us must have in them. I’m proud just because I’m a human and Australia has a radio space telescope in the deep space network. You should be proud as well of your fantastic efforts with all these videos. Long format are the best by far though. Grrr to shorts though.

[@vazap8662]

That was one of your best videos ever imo, I really enjoyed it, even more than usual! A beautiful trip into our solar system, detailed explanations, beautiful visuals... thank you.

[@tomorowsnobodys]

Been watching this channel for years. The content is excellent, always getting better and better. A stark contrast from those garbage ai generated space content channels that have been popping up all over. I truly appreciate all of the hard work and care put into each of your videos, SEA 😊

[@KingBritish]

The AI generated ones are annoying af and need eradicating off KZbin. The fake ones with sensational headlines are even worse. They all gotta go.

[@GrouchyHaggis]

This has been a great series, Thanks for all the work you put into your videos SEA, it's not going unnoticed. One of my top Subs, by far. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all at SEA (And everyone else)

[@fuckweedMegafayce]

I love how there are so many informative videos available of the ice giants yet they have only ever had one flyby. One! I feel that from the wealth of info we have it’s multiple times but it’s still relatively new territory. What information will we have in say 300yrs? 500?

[@benrbz]

please Sea one 2.2 video i beg of u

[@MultiDudeman]

Wow, that is truly spreading someone's ashes, that really is the coolest way I've ever heard of.

[@mattc825]

These vids put me asleep in 5 to 10 seconds and then my brain fills up with knowledge during the night. Most folks thought the moon was made of cheese 50 years ago….

[@dhavzr23]

I initially found your channel through the GD community what feels like an eternity ago. truly awesome to see how much growth your channel has had in the years since as well as the sheer quality of these videos which just keep getting better and better. I really appreciate these as someone currently pursuing an astrophysics degree. i know you've long since moved on from GD (at the *very* least, making videos on it) but i assume by now you're aware of 2.2 actually releasing? i wanted to see your thoughts on it briefly and whether you've tried it out in your own time.

[@thanasysdim]

Outstanding content as always. Not only your videos are great educational material but also a majestic spectacle to watch. Thank you for your work and this trilogy about solar system and the Voyager and New Horizons missions. Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year!

[@quantumcat7673]

Good narration is a relatively rare thing on YT. This is one channel that is in the Attenborough class!

Ok I love your videos but as an og imma cheekily mention... ITS 2.2!!!

[@brianbrady4496]

I'm old enough to remember all these voyager images coming on the evening news and everyone in my family talking about it ..

The ending part though... SEA wants the Kars treatment.

[@johnbrouillet988]

Technically, 6 probes have reached the solar system’s escape velocity, if you include the Parker Solar probe, though it’s not on a trajectory to leave the system, it’s by far the fastest any man made object has ever traveled. 😉 Excellent video as always. The book, The Grand Tour, which collected Voyager photographs through 1986, was what first truly awoke my interest in science and exploration as a kid. I was always awestruck at what we were able to achieve with these tiny craft launched before I was even born.

[@squarerootof2]

Sub-atomic particles at CERN or at other accelerators travel way faster, (supposedly about 99.9% the speed of light). Although it could be argued that sub-atomic particles do not fit the definition of man-made objects.

[@johnbrouillet988]

@@squarerootof2 yeah, those are definitely not man-made objects, I’m talking about a macroscopic construct of some kind. 😄

[@tomorowsnobodys]

Wasn’t there a manhole cover that reached escape velocity?

[@squarerootof2]

@@tomorowsnobodys "manhole cover"? You mean something like a butt plug propelled by bio-fuel?

[@RILEYLEIFSON_UTAH]

Supposedly. At least as far as the high-speed cameras FPS count and the fact that it was only seen in ONE of those millions? of frames after the explosion. It was never found, soo....possibly? I just can't comprehend that it could actually make it into LEO, given the INSANE amount of fuel it takes to get a satellite into orbit!🤷🏼‍♂️

[@granpastreetz]

I wish they would send another probe to the Ice Giants, Uranus & Neptune. I'd love to see those planets with the latest and greatest probes. It may take a lifetime to get there, but it's worth the wait.

[@Bekfst]

Hey babe get up, new SEA upload

[@tehblueduck]

I understand the decision to push the voyager missions beyond the solar system but I wish, if they could, have sent one home and captured it some how for us to wonder over and inspire many more explorations. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas present.

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

I imagine there will come a time when we can build another space ship that can catch up to one of the voyager probes and even reboot it once it dies.

[@skycloud4802]

I think given how successful voyager missions are, we should create more. Perhaps more sophisticated ones that could have cold backup power that can recharge or activate when it is soon to reach important milestones like Oort Cloud or a 'nearby' star.

[@CAPSLOCKPUNDIT]

I'm sure it will all work out, once Voyager 6 returns.

[@thephantom2man]

Just found your channel, great vid! The thing that amazes me the most about the voyager probes, is they managed all those manouvers, and travelled all of that distance (and still going). It was completely unknown territory in so many ways, and through it all; Not one random bit of debris from our infinitely large universe has collided with either. I have no idea the odds, but all it would take is one little rock, and over 40 years on it hasnt happened.
