I worked on Curiosity at JPL. Was a good feeling when the rover landed successfully! I designed PCB hardware (PYRO FIRE BOARDS) that controlled the explosive bolts that operated to deploy elements of the spacecraft during EDL.

🎉That is quite an accomplishment! Congratulations 👏. I worked with a Software Engineer for a Japanese/American microchip manufacturing equipment supplier and he wrote all of the code for our Systems. He had worked at JPL also in the late sixties through early seventies where he wrote code for Voyager missions. Every time we saw something in the movies, like Star Trek, or saw something in the news about these now Interstellar Space Craft, I think of him. He was quite proud of his part in sending them off into the Cosmos.

These people are at the cutting edge of human scientific capabilities. It's fascinating to watch all the moving parts come together to work.

Blaine Baggett is an absolute documentary making machine! But he makes films SO much more compelling and deep in scope than "machine" implies. My God, I've loved every one of these recent JPL documentaries. The amount of offline editing and trawling through archives that must be involved is a monumental achievement on its own; and it simply blows my mind. And it's such a special thing that JPL had cameras rolling almost permanently around the lab, or we wouldn't be able to feel anywhere near as "close" to its atmosphere, culture and achievements, etc. Brilliant work! Love, from Australia.

Seconded. Having only recently discovered this series, I'm astounded at how fast these are being released. Can't wait for more - and realising there's so much to be said. Would love to see a partner series on all the technical problems and how they were solved, and conversely from a management perspective, on keeping the teams motivated and the different 'factions' such as engineering and science, harmonious.

it’s quite amazing to have these exceptional documentaries available for everyone free of charge! thanks a lot for sharing them!

These documentaries are great! My soul has been missing this. I know its not in JPLs job description, but a series about the ISS construction would be cool. No ones done hardly anything about it... And if there's any way i would want to relive and learn about ISS again, its how these documentaries have been presented and made. Great job JPL! :)

Please keep making these documentaries, they're really inspiring and have helped me deal with end of semester burnout.

Am in awe with the amazing intelligence & ability of every single human brain behind this mission...the pioneering legacy of this people to humankind will forever be remembered as we continually explore the vast universe.

I worked on the Mars Viking II mission at JPL. I worked up on “ Cardiac Hill “ making things in the SFOF and for the DSN . I’m 70 years old now , but it was the Best Job Ive ever had. The lander performed perfectly, the special Facsimile Camera images ( my department ) of the surface were clear and amazing and the Life detection experiment said there either was , or still was life there . I was stoked ! The Honest Truth is , I would have worked there for Free ! I knew what I was doing was important and would change the world. I was right .

Keep these docs coming JPL Thanks, from all us space nerds.

JPL Studios you rock,and Neil Ross for his lovely narration.

Around the 45 minute mark when it talks about the software problem I literally busted out laughing when the trick to solving the problem was essentially, rewriting the boot sector. I can’t tell you how many times I had to do that on computers in the early 2000s. It’s nice to know I wasn’t the only one. :-)

Beautiful !!!! Nothing short of it.

This was absolutely an opening into new discoveries for the future. I remember the news when they said that we were now on Mars and I was literally at awe that humans can accomplish such a feat.

Another masterpiece. Thank you, JPL. Keep them coming! 👍👍👍

This what you get when you empower the best of the best to plan & execute a bold mission of planetary exploration. And it was great to see them handle the technical problems with the discipline & collaboration necessary to overcome the unexpected and recover to normal science operations as originally planned. JPL is simply the best. Congrats to everyone who made all this happen!

Is America a great country: Yes Would I as a European live in it: NO. The reasons are the mentality of superficial contacts, the verbal agressive culture, and the reasons how Americans destroyed nice city blocks into 10 lane highways, lacking old shopping streets, and only large parking lots with to much lane roads and unsustainable numer of cars everywhere. It is not safe for kids to go by themselves to school, and it is not safe for adults to bike to say a shop nearby.

Great documentary.👍

I watched it all - from start to finish, in real time back then. Spent hours pouring over images as they came in. Read the daily reports. So interesting looking back on this now, in retrospect. Even as I write, my desktop background is a large landscape of Mars - from Curiosity, I think. Once in a while I gaze it it, and imagine I am standing there on Mars. When I was a child I read The Martin Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, and before that Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter of Mars. I am pretty much done with Mars now, having come to the conclusion that it is a harsh, endless barren desert, monotonously desolate.

NASA absorbed JPL because they did not have actual ROCKET SCIENTISTS to build all those Satelites that carried probes that to this day after decades are still reporting information back to earth. I for one want to thank all of you at JPL for being so precise and building machines that have brought us magic. Magic in the form of images and data that has taught us so much about other planets and moons, we otherwise would still not know much about. There are no words for you're devotion to your sciences. ❤

That was really cool lot of teamwork

Awesome congrats team for you amazing work and precision!

Very interesting and informative!

To me JPL means smart people doing great things, or great people doing smart things. I love it either way.

Against the backdrop of the endless universe, our efforts to Mars is such a hugh small step but amazing human initiative to accomplish this.

Amazing 👏

Nailed it!

From a layman: fascinating!

And to know that JPL was created because a group of people started to make rockets and NASA just hired them and let then just do it is so awesome!

Seeing the exaltation of the techs moving the rover off the lander reminds me of my first parallel parking episode.
