JPL please never stop doing these documentaries! The world needs it. Don't let your management judge these science communication efforts based on metrics. For everyone who is deeply curious and smitten by exploration - these videos are invaluable.

This is gold, I am sure most space enthusiasts don't know these documentaries are available here. Godspeed NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

My beloved "babies " turning 45!❤ I check almost everyday how far they are, if they're OK. The first brave interstellar ambassadors. They gave us so much knowledge and wonder and are still doing it. Safe journey Voyagers. A piece of my heart is always with you 👏❤

If it weren't for these people I wouldn't be an engineer and astronomer today. The Voyager program was a major inspiration in my life as a child watching the discoveries on TV and checking out books about them in the local library.

I discovered this channel just a couple of weeks ago and I've been watching one episode after the other ever since. I'll say kudos to those cameramen that filmed this with 30 pound film cameras on their shoulders throughout the 70's and 80's

I love all of these documentary’s. I was born in 1966 and remember that last Apollo mission 17 in 1972. Now I am in to all things space and rockets, cosmology, astrology, astrophysics, astrobiology, etc. All due to JPL and NASA, and now with Commercial SPACE X, and than he others, can’’t wait for Artemis 1 on the 29th, sad, I get home from Venice Florida after 5 weeks on the 28th.

These documentaries, thus far, have been nothing short of excellent. I find it interesting that the Voyager-Era, the thing JPL is almost synonymous with, and lauded for (even now, after Cassini, Juno, Spirit & Oppy, Curiosity, and Perseverance), was also quite a tumultuous and uncertain time for the lab. Let the explorers of science explore.

H. Richard Malm, my dad, and Voyager engineer. These engineer pioneers accomplished amazing things.

Having lived these as they were happening JPL giving us the background and put us inside the rooms at the time is a rare gift that in todays world uplifts my spirit like finding a unreleased Beatles song ! JPL THANK YOU very much ! PLEASE Keep them coming !

Superb...! Brave, Intelligent and driven people with a passion for exploration and knowledge end up being chosen by JPL/NASA. I struggled with Calculus and higher Maths/Physics in high school, but I loved the application of physics to engineer space craft. I've been a space fan/nut forever, and every space fan/nut knows JPL is the top of the pyramid ... Cheers. Long live JPL...!

Thank you so much for making and sharing this documentary :-) Long live JPL!

William Pickering is the most underrated person ever. The father of space exploration. We need to expand his legacy around the world and especially in New Zealand. There should be statues of him everywhere.

These documentaries have been such a treasure. Watching the archive footage and graphics/animations have been nothing short of amazing! Plus, it’s amazing to hear from so many key people from the past missions and projects.

As a fellow filmmaker, can say that you‘ve got to win awards for these documentaries. The storytelling; narrator, interviews, archive, visuals, music - absolutely captivating and extremely interesting with this nostalgia.

One of the best documentaries about space exploration. The teams at JPL have made the nearly impossible seem almost routine. Absolutely incredible and fantastic!!

Howdy folks, I am most certainly a space enthusiast and I have considered myself a student of Neil DeGrasse Tyson for at least a decade. I'm astonished that I'd never seen these documentaries and honestly disappointed in myself for not have seen them sooner. Please keep making these informative, and very entertaining videos

Legends. Now it’s time to make more.

These videos are invaluable. Dont stop making them.

Godspeed to the Voyager's. Hope they make it to 50 years, even though it's decently unlikely

@31:35 - that appears to be Challenger astronaut Judy Resnick seated at the console (RIP). She had just become a NASA astronaut in the first group of women astronauts along with Sally Ride while the Voyagers were in transit.

I am hyped! Nasa Jet Propulsion Laboratory is the enthuiasm. They are the love and happiness of a little kid. Of all the spacekids and spaceadults like me on this planet. Greetings from germany. I love your videos, streams, just everything!

Like a few people I saw commenting here... I just cannot make my mind around on why this documentaries aren't publicly listed!? Make them listed NASA JPL!!! What are you thinking!? :P

After the video credits ended, I just kept staring at the motionless screen, lost in deep thought. Thank god I was allowed to live at a time when mankind first left earth in both body and robotically.

Wow, this is such a beautiful documentary. My most sincere thanks to the JPL and all of its staff for everything they have done through the past, are doing in the present, and will continue to do in the future. Your efforts and accomplishments will always be praised and remembered.

😃 Really amazing documentary on history of 'Science and Society in Transition' marking key eras in Space Exploration [ Voyager missions followed by next inter- planetary robotic missions ] amidst uncertain geopolitical chaos, having inspiring and motivational curiosity+perseverance of scientific community of scientists and engineers !!! 🙂 Really needed this insightful documentary in these paradoxical times of another ambitious era of Space Exploration [ Artemis I and II ] marking next chapter in 'Science and Society in Transition' amidst anxious current geopolitical chaos !!!

Keep these coming as they inform us on what's talen and taking place in the world of space exploration

Thank you JPL past members and current crew, for all you do, and for this great video!

There goes that Mass Effect Codex entry narrator again. love his Narration.

Geez....what a great documentary......thank you so much

Voyager 1 and 2 were a huge step for humanity.

Just think what we could accomplish if we took just 10% of the DOD budget an gave it to NASA.

it seems so simple as an individual to project yourself into space, when you see a dark night for the first time.

After around 1.5 years (it was uploaded Nov.2020), there's only ~1000 views?!?

I was in high school during the Voyager launch and Viking lander.....these videos are great!

I was here!

Please keep doing these. 🙏🏼

THANK YOU FOR SHARING WHO CREATED THE GRAPHICS FROM THE PAST! I was always captivated by them for years! Thanks JIM BLINN!

What wonderful story! What incredible achievements! Loved it!

Thank you all.

When I was a kid, I could stand on a bluff just a few feet from my home and see JPL (in it's infancy). Additionally, I went to school with Dr. Pickering's daughter. Quite lovely I must say. Now that was over 55 years ago.

Inspiration to future generations. Jewel of human intellectual achievement : JPL and NASA. Absolutely brilliant.

Maravilloso documental!!!

*Thanks **#NASA** **#JPL** for this video.* 🤔 🇺🇸 👍🏼👍🏼

39:27 Anyone else remember the Voyager scene in the Commodore Amiga commercials of summer 1985? The first commercial (and possibly only one) showed a wireframe Voyager flying by Jupiter. Strangely it was done using the lowest-res mode of the Amiga and used maybe 16 or 32 out of 4,096 colors. Commodore never knew how to advertise, but this still managed to wow people.

Ahh so refreshing to see actual progress in humanity's story, bayarlalaa.

Splendid piece 😊

Can you folks upload that symposium "Jupiter and the Mind of Man" at the 43 min mark? I cannot find it anywhere.

Thank you!

Very interesting documentation. 👍

Looking at this amazing historical achievements of the human kind, I can't stop thinking at the lyrics of "Star Crossed" by Arcturus: We- Organic images Dissolving earth Our future children Stare at us unfixed From a residence of stars In their sidereal ships Ho sailing beyond within Their eyes Black in kingdoms of gold Like the rocks of this desert Where we wander in circles Tails up the mass of time .......

Nice.

56:55 ... No way! It's Carl's famous leather jacket! I'd only ever heard about it. So, the legends are true ...

💢 My Initials are JPL 💢 Just a coincidence 🤔

This documentary tells about spacial history before I was born until times after my childhood dreams. Now my Voyager I and II idols are far, far away in deep space while the war echoes again from Russia. So please do not sop your exploration work because, for me, and maybe for my neighborhoods, it is very important: this gives hope on mankind (a child thing).

Now I am in to all things space and rockets, cosmology, astrology, astrophysics, astrobiology, etc

I loved the Titan IIIC. Quite a brute.

1:12:00 Carl Sagan was a truely great visionary scientist and the world is in dire need if more people like him.

Veger(Star Trek fan?) best thing us money ever invested in by far.. still fascinated to watch this stuff

...and then ignorant people say that the space is not interesting...

I always think of like a 57 Chevy floatin around up there 😂🎉!

Had a friend worked on Voyager.. 2000th inch tolerance on any part was mandatory.. no wonder it’s still going

Oh my goodness, Jupiter lost 1 foot per trillion years of its orbital velocity just because the Voyager space probe needed some gravity assist!!!

good Job JPL managed to get Galileo working as good as it did after it being royally messed up by the idiotic forced (and delayed) shuttle launch. One of the weirder ideas Nasa ever had, forced by politicians with no plan. And it was far from easier or cheaper. It probably was good for future missions which were allowed to launch on a "boring" normal rocket.

13:55 That's what we nowadays call a back-up system.

One always forgets that all these scientific achievements were only possible thanks to the determination of visionary leadership that was able to both secure funding and manage mind-bogglingly complex programs.

My name jesse nice to hear you

I wish we could spend 1/2 the national budget on NASA

I love you so much 😢😊

"3 1/2 seconds", I wonder why that never took synonymously. It is a good and one. To The Stuff of Dreams in 3 1/2 Seconds, answer it. "Bizarre has become common place", welcome back to your childhood. *The push to focus JPL to the military was a lazy thief's cop out. ''Give me your lunch money ...and your seat at the table while you're at it.". That is known as strong arm thievery. I am glad we managed to bounce back from that, even if we didn't get the satisfaction to bloody a nose. Now I understand why all the hostile military take overs portrayed in the entertainment industry. I thank all of you with a hand in getting us back out there.

DO these two probes have NERVA capabilities??

Jpl has done many great things but are now charging far to much money for their services. That's why new laboratories and companies are taking their place on many of the new missions. That's not to take away from their many great accomplishments. They should relocate from California and look for ways to cut costs so they can continue to be a part of space exploration

👍

My Old fiat car broke down somewhere in Nevada … can’t call anybody.. it’s 116 degrees..no water.. what Would JPL doo??dump my last 2 beers into radiator and get going.. yea you guys your not vest mission savers your life savers.. thank you

How lucky we are in 2023. What scientists dreamers and hunter gatherers sitting beside a fire, looking up, wondering if it possible to explore these planets from close up. Humans worked out how to get happening. Dinosaurs lived for 100s of millions of years, they didn't send stuff to Neptune,our primate ancestors didn't build telescopes..in a relatively short time scale,we have done it. No robots, visiting aliens gave us advice or a UKposts instruction video. If we don't destroy ourselves, what can we be capable of in 100, 1000,10000 or 100000 years?? Our journey has just begun..

I must admit I love the goods but I have to ask which came first. The knowledge or the creator? So does science tries to explain that is already exits, interesting. So what else is buried that you do not want any to explore? I guess this is a note to say next time you go up there is one looking up thinking easter to let me get in that hid it that high. Please show us what you saw than you. Your heir. Welcome! Haha

Edward C. Stone Voyager Programs client my first consumers talked to Linda Morabito Kelly explain how things important happened change informations questions about your goals Voyager spacecraft arrives at Jupiter’s moons Io in March 1979

Desire is a source of frustration that has brought down the lives of many great people across the globe. Because they follow their senses too much , let the lack of satisfaction of life dominate the heart , he said : " to achieve better worldly things . " Lust if followed continuously , will never end . Hoping continuously for worldly pleasures and glory is tantamount to increasing the possibility of the world failing us. The higher the expectation to obtain the glitter of noble material, the higher the number of depression that may be experienced in the future. Therefore , do not want to be bothered with the high interest provocation that is spread by the popular media and the people around us . Instead, feel satisfied with what you have and enjoy life as it is. Just keep focusing on God and give opportunities to share with others in between lessons and work.

Splendid documentary spoiled by far too many commercials. How sad.

34:13 nice nose zoom in

"I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers."

😲 WOW! So Hollywood CGI was born in JPL. Thanks to James F Blinn and Charles E Kohlase.

NASA: No taxpayer dollar left unwasted

I remember the Reagan years--they were as bad as was depicted here. NASA itself has still not learned the lessons of that period. While the destruction of Challenger served to undermine the unhealthy focus on a single, very expensive and ultimately flawed 'ticket to space', the STS, it took the destruction of another orbiter, the Columbia, to end it. Yet here we are, still awaiting the outcome of $30bn in development costs associated with the SLS, a space launch system that is essentially a dead end. In the meantime, JPL's work has gone from strength-to-strength. Let's hope that JPL can carry on as new space launch capabilities--most notably the promising Starship system being developed by SpaceX---offer the prospect of sending powerful exploration craft back to the outer solar system (and possibly beyond).

The Greatest Adventure? Everyone at JPL including my friend who did a lot of the programming on the Voyager and Mariner programs think they are above manned space flight. No JPL employee ever risked his life and no JPL flight directors ever had anybody's life in their hands. The biggest risk ever faced by JPL was getting their funding cancelled after successive mission failures. There is no adventure without risk.
