JPL and the Space Age: The Hunt for Space Rocks
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2023
- Asteroids and comets are among the oldest objects in our solar system. They mostly reside at safe distances from Earth, but some find their way into our planetary backyard.
Every day, the Earth receives visitors from outer space: tons of space debris that mostly goes unnoticed. Some of these “shooting stars,” however, do survive the fiery descent through the atmosphere. That’s what happened to the dinosaurs 65 million years ago when a massive asteroid - or comet - struck Earth. But as the saying goes: "The dinosaurs didn't have a space agency. Fortunately, we do."
“The Hunt for Space Rocks” chronicles JPLs pioneering work to understand asteroids and comets as part of NASA’s larger effort to protect our planet from cosmic marauders. From JPL’s effort to mount a mission to study the most famous comet of all - Halley’s comet - to the lab’s current role in planetary defense with its Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). The documentary drives home a clear message: We need to find the asteroids and comets before they find us.
Documentary length: 1 hour 52 minutes

JPL. Thank you for creating these documentaries and sharing them with us here. What an excellent way to highlight the numerous contributions JPL teams have made. Bravo!
@willyberg123 pppppppppppp
AS space nerd, I love watching and learning ,more and more about this space. BIG THANKS.
Do you KSP ?
@@caryfrancis8030 he is not that nerdy tho💀
I'm with you mate i love watching these documentreys 🇬🇧👍✌
RUclips at it's very best!! This is very important science that can quite literally save all life on Earth!! Well done, JPL!!😮😊
So glad to see another fantastic documentary coming!
This series has been amazing!🎉
What a highly informative series this is … absolutely remarkable work by our science and other NASA communities to gain extraordinary knowledge from astroids and comets - it’s certainly precarious space thank JPL
This is an excellent production! As a person who grew up watching those old school NOVA documentaries on PBS, in the 1970s and 1980s, this production is exactly my speed. If you like information dense, clearly produced, no silly frills documentaries, this is for you. This is a what educational video should be - highly informative, well structured, dense. Wonderful!
and me who also played mass effect
Same goes for me
There are not such things as unnecessary ornamental features in space videos.
I love that you two connected I’ve been following both your channels. Excellent content.
thank god there is JPL providing uns with the finest in space documentaries! This is so in depth, one could think u guys actually work on this stuff ;)
Thank you so much for the documentaries you made! Amazing videos! JPL, you rock!
Awesome documentary, thanks a lot. It was fascinating, and the work done by JPL is so important.
Such a fascinating subject.
I'll never stop being spellbound by the limitless variety and possibilities that are out there all around us
I love the" x factor" and out of the box solutions jpl engineers create
A huge thank you and deepest respect to the men and women who made this possible, and dared to dream it was even possible in the first place. It's a joy to watch.
I love these episodes!! Thank you so much!
AMAZING I just want more 🙂the effort these people put in should make us all take step back an acknowledge there work. Thank you
10/10 another well produced very informative documentary well done :)
Great with a Long video from JPL!!!💙❤️
I like to lean back and enjoy💯
Amazing set of documentaries… lots to learn from… please keep sharing your experience in this format… I am sure there are masses of science enthusiasts who will one day or the other definitely be looking back to this! Love from India 🇮🇳
This made my weekend, thank you for such a great production.
This is amazing. Thank you for this. It just shows what can be done when we decide to work together.
these ideas got some people stirred up - & I LOVED your production
The DART mission certainly sits upon the shoulders of great scientists and engineers. Can't imagine that mission would be possible without prior work ans successes such as this. Such beautiful and wonderful work.
😊
Yeah yeah yeah. ......🤓
Like Voyager 1 and 2 the first spacecrafts to goto all the planet's and did alot of photo's and telling us the compositions that made up the planet's crust and the gases in there atmosphere's. So relaxing watching and leaning alot about what is in our solo system and galaxy ✌🇬🇧👍
Awesome documentary, this video made it easier for me to teach astronomy in senior high school class ❤
Thank you, JPL! I have learned SO much from this series. I continue to be amazed by the ingenuity, eh hem, of humankind. I can hardly wait for the videos on Opportunity, Perseverance, and our flying friend!
Humanity saving information and projects, every earthzen should watch and appreciate 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so very much for this - absolutely fantastic!
Watching docs like this give me hope for humanity. If we have a purpose it is to learn everything we can about the miraculous universe we find ourselves living in
Fabulous program- thank you for sharing- all the hard work
I've absolutely loved watching these documentaries. I wish there was a soundtrack album!
Well worth the wait. Keep these amazing documentaries coming!
This has been a wonderful series, and this one had importance that comes literally close to home. You've done general videos on many Mars and outer planet trips. How about some love for Mariner 10, MESSENGER and the incoming BepiColombo--and why we've sent so few things there, and what missions might land something there. A Venus show would be naturally populated with Venera stuff, so perhaps a Mercury/Venus show? Thanks again.
Very interesting noticed
Very impressive. Thanks JPL for all you do.
You know, after allowing RUclips to come up with suggestions for months and months - and me getting mostly DVD copied series' of semi factual content repeated, a Gleaming Gem appears like This here video!
I am an amateur Astronomer of 54 and this presentation from beginning to end and Fully Enjoyed this! Thank you JPL! Subbed!
The narrator is the same guy that does the Mass Effect codex entries. It has to be. Incredible voice!
Mate I knew it!
I knew I recognized that voice! It’s perfect for this kind of content.
Hey, thanks for putting this out. It was great!
These documentaries are awesome!
I am amazed how space research has progressed in my lifetime, I remember the Voyager missions and loved looking at the images when they were published and also the Mars Viking landers. I also remember at School a teacher said that Venus was most likely a cloud wrapped tropical water world inhabited by Lizard people floating on rafts, I was so disappointed when the Soviet Venera missions finally reached the surface and revealed the true state of venus, no Lizard people to visit. Anyway I hope to live long enough to see more exciting Space missions and maybe find life on one of Jupiters or Saturns moons!
@rustymotor maybe lizzard ppl live closer than you think m8 lol
I don't know your age, but at my age, 92, I was a child when international flight was not a thing, radios & TVs were not a thing, computers were not a thing, astronauts standing on the outer end of the Canada arm were beyond imagining, cell phones were not a thing and the great bands sound became the thing (singers were an option), this is a different world than the one I knew. It would be great if you could take the memory of all that change with you when you go.
Thank you for these excellent documentaries. They are very uplifting in these dark times and bring me hope ❤️
@atomsmurf, yes, I feel the same way. As Humanity seems to be ever more determined to destroy itself, to argue and bicker, jockey for position and, generally, destroy itself by such behavior and with wars and nuclear bombs, I find myself more and more drawn to these videos. They remind me of the mysteries of the universe and the miracle of Earth and all life upon it and, most likely, life elsewhere in the Universe. They give me a broader perspective on life, how blessed we are, how tenuous life is and remind me to be grateful for our incredible planet and for Life itself.
I love your videos, please never stop making them
Sometimes once in a while like when watching feel out. The one about the space rocks in the vicinity of people makes them feel their teeth click with their heartbeat beating inside. Was amazing! Thank you.
Thanks JPL, you guys are awesome
We love you JPL for the humanity you gave when the department of defense wouldn’t have any of that!!! Only results!!!!!
Extremely well done! Thank you!
I love listening to all of these lab stories. I'm so glad that the documentary's have been made. The year 2000 seemed like it was fine years ago.. But when i watch this footage of the engineers working in the lab in 2000, the footage looks like footage from the 70s lol.
I love meteorites! I always add a meteorite when doing a synthesizer video demo! Meteorites ROCK!
All things SPACE, I can never get enough of it.
You had me at: "Join the hunt for space-rocks "🥰
Thank you for this documentary. Love this kind of documentaries. And Narrator sounded like Morgan Freeman too ( my favorite narrator ) 😊
A good tradition would be to post historical films of the laboratory, there were many missions and about many things contemporaries do not know, and I love the history of astronautics and collect such films, Thanxxx
Load's of respect to all these engineers who create these new technology's. Well done 👏👏👏✌🇬🇧👍
Coulda, woulda, shoulda, what if engineering is remarkable! Hats off to them:)
Truly amazing feats. I am mind-blown by the navigational chalenges alone. To be able to navigate so precisely at such huge distances borders on the miraculous.
It's all fake, grow up .
@@leeinwis it is not fake. Thousands of people saw the Rockets take off. As for growing up, real adults have no need to resort to insults so I guess that makes you a fake adult 😜
This was a very informative video. It's nice to know there are teams of scientists working to keep Earth safe. Keep up the great work.
FINALLY!!! A video with people that KNOW what they are talking about!!!
Had No Idea how much additional problem solving and logistical Kung Fu the JPL Laboratory had to solve aside from the "planned" mission parameters of these Spacecraft. Great Stories, Well presented ! 👍 👍
Thank you so much for your reference to the tremendously good achieved assignments you lit off! Shoemaker -Levy9 pearls, stardust, Deep space 1, Deep Impact on temperamental comet Temple 1 It is so good to know about the hardships and feat of astronomy.❤
Thanks for your efforts.
Me gustan mucho ver todos vuestros videos me gustaria poder escucharlos en Español no entiendo mucho el inglés algunas cosas pero si. Magníficos y muy emocionante ver tantos proyectos y inventos para poder navegar y explorar este enorme universo gracias por enviarme estos vídeos un saludo desde las islas Canarias Tenerife un saludo atentamente : Juan Manuel González Correa .
( Gracias de corazón )
Really great show. Thank you.
Hats off to JPL
Wow, super-hyper interesting, great document!
This is so awesome.
This should be on Netflix and other streaming services... Amazing videos!
Wonderful production. Thank you JPL and NASA.
Very knowledgeable, Thank you!
I worked on Viking II . It was the Best Job I ever had.
Thank You , excellent document
This is so fascinating I vaguely remember something on t.v
Anyone recognize that voice? It's Neil Ross, the same guy who narrated all the Codex entries for the Mass Effect games.
I've not seen that crazy Halley intercept orbit before! Some awesome stuff! Gravity Voodoo specialists :)
I love when people passionate at what they do
Shoemaker-Levy-9 I saw it crash into Jupiter with my own Eyes through a Celestron C14. The bigger than earth explosion clouds.... awesome and a one in a lifetime event.
I saw comet Halley when i was a kid
@@Arubapower13 I missed that. I wasn´t interested in astronomy back then, but perhaps.... if I get old enough next time when he comes around. ;)
@@Upuauta i was a kid and my aunt woke me up to come outside with her as no one wanted to come out..well i'm so thankful till this day for that night..and we live on Aruba so back then the light pollution was very low..it was amazing
Really I thought it was captured by Galileo as it was the opposite side of Jupiter to earth
@@Arubapower13that will make you incredibly old
Love the press conference featuring Don Yeomans hilarious “stand up comedy” style Info-banter. (at 21:30) - Now I’m curious to see a compilation. The best educators can make you laugh.
This channel is incredible I'm so glad I found it. So much pseudo science nonsense out there now that the algorithm pushes instead of good content like this.
Awesome anyone know if there are more episodes in this series other than the 16
Neil Ross has to be the best narrator out there.
7:10 Hecklefish was right: LIZZID PEEPLE! I love that guy, watch him at The Why Files. That aside: This is a great movie, I love the comment, he sounds just like out of the fifties. And certainly the exitement when the mission works out. The Band was great, too!
Having the same voice actor as the codex's in Mass Effect makes this so much more epic for me.
Great admin!
All these discoveries just wetted the appetites of a new breed of space entrepreneur, the space miner. They sense ungodly massive quantities of precious metals in those asteroids.
Good to hear the correct pronunciation of Uranus. People can’t really conceive how volatile our solar system is and how fragile but yet mere coincidence how life on earth has formed.
Its good to see amy back on u/tube doc,s
Can't wait to see what these guys do with Pulse detonation engines.
Amazing video!
Mass Effect narrator...one of the best voices.
Nowadays, I check the voice and pronunciation for an ai bot.
JPL Ill follow you till the end of the cosmos 🛸🧑🚀✨🖖☝️✨
Ha! The Shoemakers. I think she was also the one who started making a 3d map of the stars using the images they had collected over the years. Great contributors to science.
Well done.
So the planet is growing slowly! Takes eons and millions of years!
I can not say I having liked everything I have seen, but quite watchable.
CGI is so good nowadays it is often hard to tell what is CGI and what is real footage. I think it would be a good idea for JPL to put a little CGI flag in the corner of the screen when we are watching CGI or REAL when we are watching real footage. The only RUclipsr who does this that I know is Astrum. I think all documentary makers should do this, including JPL. I think it matters.
its all cgi. 100%
If directed heat expansion really allowed a contaminate particle to exit the craft to fix a critical system's circuit..😮.. JPL folks are on level 10/10.
It’s getting closer to the day when we won’t need to worry so much.
This narrator sounds like Neil Ross, either way I love that who ever this is narrates most of the shows on the Nasa channel as well.
Our brightest minds doing the hardest jobs to give us the best result under the most extreme pressures possible , I bow my head to the members of JPL , you lot are simply the best , brightest and most capable .
Maybe I misunderstood, but @10:38, you cannot decelerate with a solar wind sail/panel. There's no friction in space. When you go, you go. Only a opposite energy force can slow you down. (Like he just said before this @10:33).
Personally I think it’s really impressive that NEAR survived for an extra fortnight on Eros.
Funny the one guy who had never heard of ion drive for space travel so far into his professional work. This had been discussed in pretty clear detail about 10 years before STAR TREK on a Disney special, MARS AND BEYOND,whose advisor had been Dr. Von Braun. I learned about it as a kid from that show, and thru the drawings of it in a comic book version of that show that came out around the same time. Maybe STAR TREK powers that be got the idea from that same show?
Well done🙂
Geeze I LOVE scientists!!
