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.

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.

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

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.

Nice.

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

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.

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).

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

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 .......

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.

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

book lover I understand your comments. Ok, sure. But the people who enable the complex execution are the engineers, not the scientists. Think of propulsion, navigation, communication, instrumentation, and system engineering. The scientists are the beneficiaries and, of course, mankind overall. But despite the recognition the engineers deserve for their superb skills, it takes visionary and tenacious leadership to get congress approve the program and to keep the projects on track, not to mention to keep complex teams working together and motivated during inevitable setbacks that will occur over time.

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 KZread 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..

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.

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).
