This is why we need to be able to travel at light speed, so we can send out new and updated space objects frequenctly, that can travel far, without having to wait forever to get results and get the objects into the right places in space. Voyager it still over 70.000 years away from the closest other star to us, but a lightspeed space telescope could reach it in a litttle over 4 years. This is why we need to, well, first solve climate change here on earth. But then, we need to invest all the money in space technology, so we can unlock light speed travel as soon as possible.

We had to make many modifications to our tracking system because the signals were too strong. Even pointing the 64 meter dish antenna was a challenge.

@@davidcurtis7236 nope. Terminal velocity is not the same for every object. Terminal velocity is limited by air resistance. The terminal velocity is the maximum velocity an object can accelerate to for its given resistance. A good way to think of it is a parachute. A parachute will never reach reach the same speed as a rock if falling in atmosphere. Its resistance is sufficient to slow down the user upon deploying. Terminal velocity is technically the velocity at which the sum of drag and buoyancy equals the force of gravity. The faster an object goes, the more drag it has. The more surface area perpendicular to the the gravitational force an object has, the more drag it has. The more dense an object has, the less buoyancy it has. Thoses 3 variables are not the same for two different objects, so the terminal velocity is not the same

My favourite is from the Voyager probes flyby of Jupiter. In particular you can hear interviews from the scientists involved that they looked at the moons mostly as an afterthought, expecting them to look much like our own moon. The amazing differences between the four Galilean moons of Io, Europa, Ganymede and Calisto revolutionised our view of the smaller elements of the Solar System. Whole new worlds in themselves. That amazing moment when someone discovered that Io had active volcanoes. Utterly amazing.

I would also love to see the video, but just to throw out some thoughts on these hypotheticals... If we built another Voyager in a similar way to how we build deep space probes now, the data rate wouldn't be astronomically higher. Physics is the main limitation at the end of the day; a larger dish, more powerful amplifier, and different frequency would definitely make a marked improvement, but it wouldn't be on the orders of magnitude that other technology has improved. Power would be difficult; we'd probably use really similar nuclear power sources (RTGs) to Voyager, so, again, not a significant improvement. The instrumentation may be much improved. Camera sensors, like you suggested, are probably the biggest leap since voyager, but leaps and bounds have been made across both in-situ and remote sensing. I imagine a modern-day Voyager may also include instruments that are fundamentally different than we used in the 70's like active radar.

I also would say the first landing and walk on the moon would be my favorite moment. Alas, I was in the middle of the Mediterranean sea on a cargo ship, and the TV was broken. Of course we listened on the radio, and were very proud of what was going on. I remember the captain made a cheer for both the landing and the first walk. But my moment was later on, when I walked outside. It was a beautiful night, with stars everywhere, and the moon very bright high up, and while looking at it, thinking "There are people walking over there. How cool is that. Way cool." and also I remember grinning while thinking so. I felt my spirit elevated to another level at that moment. That is a memory that is present in my mind like it happened yesterday.

I can clearly remember the adrenaline and overwhelming amazement i felt when SN8 finally lifted off. I don’t think i’ve ever felt so excited in my life. I was literally cheering and shouting in on as it hit each milestone. I completely lost it when it relit its engines for the landing burn and flipped vertical again. When it ‘touched down’ (lol), i just sat there completely stunned. Even got a bit emotional. For me, that was the moment it really dawned on me that we are on the brink of a new age in space exploration. I walked away from my pc that day, brimming with excitement for the future, and more inspired than ever.

Once you are outside the blinding rays of a nearby star that is.

My favourite space moment was probably the landing attempts of the first spacex starships, not because it was the biggest archivement ever, but more because of the community and the anticipation of it, all the failed experiments and explosions while looking at them in different streams,while hanging around.

My favorite space moment was definitely seeing the Hubble Deep Field image for the first time. It still fascinates me that this image is taken 20 years ago when pointed at an empty pitch black region of the space that is the same size as the dot on the letter “i” on a book extended at an arm length. Whenever I look at it again, it never fails to impress me. I even have it on my lock screen so it constantly reminds me how insignificant everything is 😂 (in a good way because it motivates me to keep going when things are rough). Although I do like the JWST version as it is more detailed, I like the Hubble more because I believe it really helped to pave the way to as well as revolutionize modern astronomy.

My fav space moment was when after several attacks, the Romulans, almost beaten, plant a nuclear weapon amidst jettisoned debris. When Spock detects a "metal-cased object", Kirk orders a point-blank phaser shot that detonates the device. The Enterprise is shaken by the blast and many of the phaser crew are incapacitated, requiring Stiles to fill in. Kirk orders operations to work at minimal power to exaggerate the apparent damage and lure the Romulans in for a kill shot. Although the Romulan commander suspects Kirk's trap, Decius, a politically well-connected member of the command crew, pressures him to attack. When the Romulan ship decloaks to launch a torpedo, Kirk tries to spring his trap, but a coolant leak in the phaser control room incapacitates Stiles and Tomlinson. Spock, whom Stiles had called "Vulcan" and insulted as being unneeded in the control room, returns to rescue Stiles and fires the phasers, mortally wounding the Romulan ship. That was awesome!

My favourite space moment is the replacement fender that the astronauts had to fashion for their LRV on Apollo 17, made of lunar charts duck-taped together. I think it's a fun example of the kind of problems that arise and might have be to solved in the moment. Something you might not consider as being particularly important, such as a fender, has a much more pronounced purpose out in the harsh environment of space, but it also highlighted the whole methodology of problem-solving and creative thinking that was prevalent in the Apollo era.

So true. Some absolutely amazing and mind blowing problem solving goes on behind the scenes and I'm always in awe of things like that (no matter how "small")

My favorite space moment was the day New Horizons did it's Pluto fly-by and the pictures were shown to the public. I think it's my favorite for various reasons: one is that I remember the probe being launched when I was a kid, and barely understanding why it would take so long to complete the mission; it gave me a sense of the vastness of the universe and about time (for a 9 year-old, imagining what another 9 years into the future would be like was picturing a very sci-fi thing, but also wondering what my own life would be). Another reason is because the pictures of Pluto themselves were just stunningly beautiful and it was amazing to finally have an image of the dwarf planet. When I studied planets in school, each one had already a picture that was at least a few decades old, but there were none of Pluto. I think the time between 2006-2015 (while New Horizons crossed our whole solar system) was an ark in my life: going from a kid passionate about space who dreamt about becoming an astronaut and didn't agree with Pluto not being a planet anymore to an adult that found his maturity in other more down-to-earth topics and occasionally reading about space (I studied Political Science, and when I was asked why by one professor I said: if I had been born in a better, more just society, I would have liked to be an astronaut but right now I feel I need to help solve things here first). Finally seeing Pluto was very touching (even some joy tears came out and I wrote a whole post about it, I had to share it with all my family and friends!); it brought back to me the sense of wonder about space, human knowledge and the accomplishments we can achieve when working hard, collaborating and giving the best we have as a whole. We are only for a fraction of time in this world, both individually and as species, the best thing we can do with that is try to get a grasp of it, marvel ourselves with the amazing universe that surround us and create out own incredible things in the process. The New Horizons probe reminded me of that as I hadn't in a while, but now your videos are another opportunity to not forget it. Thank you ✨
