I've seen two of these documentaries, this one and the one on the Mercury Program. Both were absolutely wonderful - informative, well done, imaginative, scientifically correct, and excellent. In a word, beautiful. I don't know who you are but my heartfelt thanks for the tremendous efforts you have put into these. Excellent work!

I can’t agree more! They are pure pleasure for a space buff like myself to watch, and they became all the more so with the realization that this is not made by a major studio but by a dedicated person with an obviously genuine interest in the subject!

You should win an Academy Award for this work! These are by far the best space program documentaries ever made, by far!

I made two creative decisions for this video that I hope those who are nuts about accuracy (myself included) will overlook. 1: Mariner 10 launched at night. The amount of available source material for this mission was so low that I decided to give you the best show I could regarding the launch, and so put together some of the most beautiful Atlas-Centaur angles I have. I did this so that this video would have an appealing launch scene, but just know the launch footage is not from the Mariner 10 mission. 2: The images of Venus and Mercury were from all sorts of missions -- Mariner 10 included, of course...but I also used images from MESSENGER, Magellan, Akatsuki, etc. I did this because the over-arching subject of this video were the planets themselves, not just Mariner 10. I wanted to showcase the beauty of these places in ways that the images of Mariner 10 could only partially accomplish. I know this video was a bit of a step down emotionally from STS-107 and Apollo 13, but hopefully not a step backwards. I hope you enjoyed it all the same.

Awesome choices. Could you pin these please? I rarely delve into the cess pit of you tube comments. ( Although your high quality work seems to have attracted only high quality viewers) Thanks for all your work.

Homemade Documentaries are an exceptional viewing experience.They're so well produced and so compelling from start to finish. And the narrator is really, really good.

The more I watch these documentaries the more I want. Great narration. Great sympathetic scoring. No over dramatisation, just plane honest story telling. And such great story telling it is. The use of obscure facts, never widely known before, is compelling. I have worked in television for over 30 years and I think I know a labour of love when I see it. Story telling Carl Sagan would be proud of. Well done sir. Long may your work continue.

I am disappointed for you, HD, that these videos haven't yet gone "viral." They all deserve too and should all have millions of views by now. Beautiful work as always!

What you contribute to the history of early space travel sets a new standard for excellence. You are an artist, and you make me smile. Sincerely!

I was a teenager when the Mariner 10 stamp came out, and it was especially eye-catching. I went to the post office and bought a bunch of them with money I made cutting neighbors' yards. Not sure why, except I was one of millions of children who grew up with the space race and really liked the design.

Thanks for including the launch sequences in your documentaries. It adds a real aesthetic component to the story.

I am loving your documentaries and staggered at the number of views. There seems to be lack of good docos on the early NASA unmanned missions such as Mariner and Surveyor and your efforts are terrifically done.

The Saturn V was controlled by a real computer, while the R-7 was guided by cams, pickup arms, and timers. Not to mention it would not be until the 80's when high energy upper stages would begin to be used on the R-7.

holy shit this is a extremely high quality yt video how is this channel not as popular

Very informative... I’ve always wished someone would make documentaries aimed at an audience of scientists and engineers. We watch TV too!

5:37 "Slowly but surely..." Where did I hear those words in combination with Mars before? Ah, yes: "...they drew their plans against us".

Fantastic, this really deserves about 1000 times the views it currrently has. Greatly appreciated by those who can appreciate it

People forget how important Jack Parsons was to the space race! He was of course instrumental in the formation of JPL. He was also heavily into Magick

Mariner 10 third flyby was accomplished 50 years ago. What a remarkable moment. (And JT I hope you return soon, I miss your talent and dedication, you are the best. Cheers from southern Brazil)

I like a lot of the technical details in your documentaries: electronic systems discussions, component (resistors, capacitors, etc.) issues in equipment, etc. Your channel is a historical documentary channel with a technical emphasis. The only thing missing is block diagrams when describing these systems. Being I am an amateur radio operator, it makes these documentaries very interesting to watch. 73 de Darrell KT4WX

Your Homemade Documentaries are better than 95% of everything 'professionally' available out there.

Thank you for another great documentary Jackson. You certainly are a talented documentary maker!

New subscriber, and so glad I found you. Outstanding work, and excellent narration. You have a voice that is well suited. Now trying to see if I can somehow work my way chronologically (by project) through them all. Thank you for your diligence and efforts.

Great documentary made even better by the skyrim music

Really enjoying your doco's and you do a great job. Nicely paced, clear voice and interesting information all rolled into one package. Here's to a good future for your channel.

This channel is the equivalent to Kerbal Space Program !!!! Thank You sir!!!

You have made a fantastic documentary. Thank you 😎👍

Fantastic. The quality and depth are world class.

This is brilliantly produced documentary, however I cannot get over the The Elder Scrolls Skyrim soundtrack being used for the music, great choice.

Certainly one of the best astronomy programs I have seen : packed with info and spectacular images. Thank you.

Why hasn't this channel got millions of subscribers? Wonderful documentaries!

I recently learned that Mariner 9's orbit around Mars has decayed and the probe is expected to crash on the planet in 2022. That might make for an interesting documentary!

Never expected skyrim OST in a space documentary, but appreciated

I have learned so much from these excellent documetaries, thank you so much for making them.

It was Mariner 1’s Atlas booster that deviated. A hyphen had been omitted from the guidance system that commanded a sudden turn at 294.5 seconds and forced the RSO to send the destruct signal. Unfortunately, this was near the end of its burn time. Mariner 2 almost didn’t get into its parking orbit either because its Atlas began to roll after liftoff. It wasn’t serious enough to curtail the mission and Mariner 2 limped by Venus on 14 December 1962 and sent back some basic data after enduring what some called “the perils of Pauline”.

Thank you for this great video!

Absolutely fantastic work my friend. Well researched, excellently narrated. 10/10. Would rather watch one of your documentaries than watch the history channel.

Outstanding Channel

Thanks for watching ? No ! thanks to you for doing this work ! So precise, so informative, accurate and entertaining at the same time. Putting everything context detailing the processes, while remaining interesting is an art. It helps to keep our hopes up for the future, the people (problem solvers) that you brilliantly describe are our fathers or grandfathers / mothers. It's not so far this kind of talent and know how still exists . It is the fourth or fifth of your documentaries that i am watching and i keep thinking because of your "touch " Great this is real and didn't happen in a galaxy far far away. It' was yesterday.

Thanks!

One of the few flaws is the overly applied liberty about aspect ratios of photos resulting in distinctly egg-shaped planets and moons.

The words and narrating style are easily understandable!

Are you doing these yourself if so that's amazing

CONTENT SUGGESTION: Cassini. This would solve two problems: You would never run out of content to produce and I would always have more amazing videos to watch.🎉🙌🔥

And another great documentary. And again, it far surpasses what PBS and BBC can muster up, good as those are.

29:06 - that surface is in a state of constant rifting and re-forming. A sort of quasi-lava. It rips and breaks all over the place whilst simultaneously re-solidifying. It is moderately molten.
