"you could glimpse that we humans had entered the realm of myth and legend"
Fantastic....miss you carl
🤧💔
"the realm of myth and legend"
yet he insisted on being 100% logical, and sadly died a non-believer
Sad songs never make be cry, Sad movie death scenes never make me cry, But watching this video makes me tear up so much :[
Yeah so true we just fall into such things
We miss you, Carl.
It's amazing how Sagan still continues to inspire - new people every day - despite his death fifteen years ago. It's as if he's still here. It's as if his words are being spoken fresh from his mouth as opposed to being repeated through a recording. It makes me unafraid of death, knowing how one man can continue to do so much without even being alive. I wish I had been born earlier. I wasn't even two years old when we lost this great man and his great mind.
Rest in Peace, Carl Sagan.
"dont tell me the sky is the limit, when we have footprints on the moon"
I' am not an emotional guy, but the beauty of this made me cry. Such a wonderful video. This is so inspiring.
July 20th 1969...I was four years old. For the first time, I distinctly remember being proud to be an American. Thanks to Neil, Buzz, Mike and the thousands of NASA employees and contractors who made that possible. I am forever awed and indebted to your service and commitment.
I was 5...
I need to show some of Carl Sagan's speeches to my friends who don't appreciate spaceflight.
Istvan Szabó Is it really possible to not appreciate spaceflight ?
Stalysfa Apparently it is.
This is sampled from the audiobook narration of his 'Pale Blue Dot' book. It's a masterpiece.
I remember was a little kid when it happen I was 9 now I'm 57 and it still get to me that is why mankind need"s to go back and keep on going !
I fucking bawl my eyes out every single time I watch this video.
Thank you for creating something so emotionally moving. It has become a part of me.
"You could glimpse that we humans had entered the realm of myth and legend" - This is the moment I break down.
@@MrMilkyMoustache
“It’s a sultry night in July…” and the screen blurs. Dozens of times watching this, and it still happens.
Makes me teary eyed.
Gotcha right in the feels
We lost this man fifteen years ago today. Reid, thank you for keeping his legacy alive and helping Sagan enlighten people all over the world.
I can't believe they took down the pale blue dot video due to copyright. Those people seriously disgust me. They do not intend to share Carl Sagan's words with the world and have no plan to share with their own species. Shame on them. If only they can learn from Carl.
Thankfully, mirrors exist that have survived.
Jerry Pon they attempted to block my Apollo films worldwide... but thanks to the freedom of information act, the footage belongs to ALL of us.
If anybody wants to watch the “lost” Apollo films just search WAFFAHOUSE on RUclips...
And that kind of acts one day truly will end human's curiosity and pursuit of exploration. We live in time which nationalism is on rise and we rarely hear word of mankind. We become more seperated year by year. Human individualism and ability to dream is being destroyed by unregulated capitalism. Also when dictators being called a heros truly show how degradation of human kind is on increase year by year.
Hey Reid. I hope you still drop in to see the comments. It's a great thing you did here. You gave a beautiful context to man, a poet, and his words. The human condition is wild and varied. The Sagan (and Feynman series) always gives me hope. Thank you.
Two of the most amazing men.. Dancing with the stars. I'm literally crying.
this actually brought me to tears a bit. im only 26 and never saw this happen live but even now i feel why its so powerful of an achievement.
Guys, we put men on THE FUCKING MOON!
This still astounds me.
And it does me my friend. Its a dam shame the world isn't behind us.
Evan Bell That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind..... Nope. It's scary out here, lets go back!
...in 1969
+Evan Bell in in over 40 years we where never able to do something even better and all we do is fight useless wars. THIS makes me sad!
Carl Sagan understands our potential as a species. These videos as well as his TV show was his greatest gift to us. He offered enlightenment and a wealth of "purpose" as a person, and a human species. If everyone was as enlightened as Carl Sagan, who knows where we would be today.
Came here in honor of Neil. Brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you Neil, for giving all of us here on the pale blue dot...hope. Rest easy Hero, you earned to have your're name immortalized for all to know the achievements you gave us.
I really gear tears in my eyes every time I watch this. It does not get old to me at all.
so awesome that we did that, We live in an age where man has walked on the moon.....
Just imagine the balls it takes to be the first men to strap yourself into a giant tube filled with explosives for the purpose of traveling to a barren rock in an environment that kills you instantly when unprotected.
Bravo Apollo astronauts, bravo.
We had entered the realm of myth and legend.... How beautiful, powerful.
Alone we are capable of nothing, but together we are capable of everything.
Never more than at this moment in the modern era have we needed a profound reminder of the colossally important and exciting role that science, space exploration and the human quest for knowledge must continue to play in our development as a species.
I read comments from "trolls" and it makes me sad.. I come to these videos and read the comments by other people like me being inspired by actions we will never truly experience (not through lack of dreaming), and it gives me hope.
And a smile
Just feel sorry for them and ignore them
and its even nicer to understand through that insignificant how truly significant we all really are.
You are not just you, you are us. Welcome to the universe, its known you for longer than you have.
I think we have thousands of reasons to do the things we do. But telling them to someone is useless, because it’s not something you can express in words. It something you need to feel; to feel the beauty of the universe is to truly understand why we want to do these things.
My grandfather lost his eye helping build the Apollo 11 and even got to meet the legend. RIP Neil. Say hi to grandpa for me.
Reid, you have an incredible talent bro !!! It's been almost two years now and I keep coming back to this series !!!
THANK YOU !
Michael Collins, the moon's own moon. Love that so much.
I've watched this at least two dozen times over the years.
It always gives me pause. It never gets old.
It's such a boon to the world that Sagan recorded Pale Blue Dot's narration. I have it on Audible... I wish we'd have gotten more to do that, like Tolkien, Frankl or Hemingway.
Yep. Another notch. Hits me right in the gut. Every time.
Once more into the breech...
This is from Sagan's great book the Pale Blue Dot, which is available as an audiobook partly read by himself. I listened to the entire chapter on the moon landings the other day, while working in the yard.
A little lost in this video (which is greatly done in its own right) is the original point of the chapter, which is that the US didn't go to the moon for pride or prestige, but to show the Russians that the US had the biggest and most powerful rocket. The Gift of Apollo, Sagan states, is that it showed us the way to a form of enlightenment we wouldn't have had otherwise.
Through our collective shortsightedness and stupidity, man became the work of legend and myth. We went to the Moon, and discovered Earth.
That budget slide sickens me. You hear the planners of future private Mars mission state it would cost $6 billion USD to send a few people to live permanently on Mars... subsequent trips would be about $4 billion USD and continue to get more affordable as time goes on.
That is nothing when you compare it to the $12.68 billion USD that we are spending on new Gerald Ford class aircraft carriers. I wish I knew how to light up the minds of people all over the Earth with curiosity for the advancement of not only a few superpowers but for the entire human species.
The Curious Noob Ugh. I just get sad when I think about this... we're living in the teenage years of humanity's lifespan. We may not make it without an accident or the very death of our species. I hope we collectively decide to change over the following generations.
The Curious Noob just imagine if the military and space budgets were reversed... our world would be much better.
We spend too much on military. And by we I don't mean I. I mean the United States...
You are not thinking clearly how can we go to Mars when we can't go to the moon
@@Fuar11 The US spends too much on Nato, they are liek 1/3rd of that budget, Europe needs to stand up on its own two feet
Mr. Armstrong, you stood taller than any of us. You were the culmination of our strive, accomplishment, and hope. Rest in peace, my friend, you deserve it.
Not only was he a brilliant scientist, but also a beautiful poet.
If we long for our planet to be important, there is something we can do about it. We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers. - Carl Sagan
nothin quite like some cinematic orchestra and Carl Sagan on a monday night
Carl Sagan... i do not have words to say how much admire him.
After death, he still teach us and care us.
"...the inescapable recognition of the unity and fragility of the Earth is its clear and luminous dividend..."
You have no idea how long I've been waiting for another one of these!!!!!
I truly wish I was there to experience this live. It happened decades before I even came along so I can only imagine the feeling, but judging by my tears of joy just watching this I am quite convinced it must have been grand. I envy those who were there, and I can only hope we will venture back out there and experience something equally awesome before I depart again.
Carl,Thanks for the inspiration.You were really special.You have changed mindsets of a whole new generation.#saganism
Apollo conveyed a confidence, energy and breadth of vision.
This would make a flat earther cry
This is was both thought provoking and beautifully done ... we need more people like Carl Sagan in this world!
that video was taken from the mounted camera on the lunar rover. In regards to the panning and angles, it was a remote control camera that was attached to lunar rover, so at that time, it was preset to pan out and record the ascent stage of the lunar module.
This is why I haven't lost hope for the world... not youtube, the world. It brings tears to my eyes to see all of these people watching these videos, and to see them wishing this man a happy birthday. This is a real man, he changed this world. I want to do the same, though I fear I cannot. I will try though. Swear it.
this makes me want to cry how beautiful it is. i love science.
watching these late at night in your room and seeing the moon just through the clouds outside my window and thinking we've been theyre makes me proud to be human
Last night I clearly saw two different shooting stars in a span of about 15 minutes. I felt lucky. But I never thought I'd be lucky enough to see this beautiful series of videos featuring Carl Sagan. Thank you for your enlightening work.
When they show the budgets it makes me think and I swear I don't understand why we waste so much money on hate when science is so much more phenomenal.
^^ moved me to tears.
Don't worry you are not alone. I feel like I have been robbed of this my entire life. I feel like when I was 10 my parents should have been trying to take me to meet Sagan... I feel like if I could have just met the man it would have changed my life so much sooner I might actually be contributing to his vision right now.
Poeticity at it's peak ..., Something we doo expect from dr sagan
One of my best experience's in my life was a trip to the Space Kennedy Centre. Seeing the Saturn V rocket and all the mission plagues of the Apollo missions. Left a long lasting effect on me.
Striking. Inspiring. Sobering. Sagan truly had a way with words.
Happy Birthday Carl Sagan.
oh the chills i get from these videos...
I don't know what it is about this man, but he always gives me hope for the human race.
We will survive ourselves, and when we do, we'll be fucking awesome.
Happy 50th, Apollo 11.
50 years of Apollo.
Soon hopefully
waste of money to sent humans to a death vacuüm.
2024
@@vp3579the greatest human endeavor is to explore the universe. If we want to know our real origins, we must to explore space. It’s the real final frontier. Everything else is futile. Eventually, billions of years from now the sun will engulf the earth and turn it into a molten hells cape. If we survive as a species to then, we must leave this planet and inhabit another exoplanet. If not, in 4-5 billion years, the sun will destroy all of us along with all other life on earth.
@@vp3579so basically your being very shortsighted. Hell, I’d volunteer to go up in space if they gave me the necessary training. I believe many people would…
3:48 reminded me of this gem from xkcd: "The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision."
My favorite shots in this video are the groups of people looking on in awe as this historic event takes place, of the celebrating in the streets. Can we honestly say it would be the same today if we landed on Mars?
Shared on facebook. Beatiful. Poignant.
Wow everyone of your videos give me chills. Its like these videos open my encrusted eyelids and I explode with excitement. Thank you damewse!
Why would ANYBODY dislike this video??? I see absofuckinglutely no reason to do so, not even the religious fundamentalists could possibly dislike this!
Carl Sagan's voice gives me chills....
Brings a tear to my eye every time, no matter how often I watch these
And here we are, in 2020, in the midst of all the darkness caused by the pandemic, a glimmer of light shines, a small hope. With the US, returning to Human Space flight in a few days, maybe, maybe, we'll go back and dare to dream like we did back them.
Yes , thank you sir. And of us. Thank you.
50 Years ago today.
Its my birthday today, and like every July 20, I stop and celebrate this amazing event in our history. Although I'm never sure why, it humbles and encourages me. Long live exploration and curiosity.
Such a great man who had a massive influence on me as a teenager. So sad that he was taken from us.
46 years ago, on July the 20th at 20:18 UTC, the first humans landed on the Moon
Congratulations and Happy Birthday Proph3t777. I hope we get back to the moon sometime before we are all gone!
First time I have ever heard Sagan's voice. Am not disappoint.
Happy birthday to one of the most influential and well versed men of science Man has ever known
Listening to anything Carl Sagan teaches and speaks about takes my breath away.
I like that last sentence. Awesome!
Every single one of these has given me chills.
Fantastic!! Sagan is something else.
My favourite of the series.
From the moment of the 1st step on the moon's surface, mankind became member of the Planetary Family.
Bravo...!!!
My great uncle had his lab in Johnson Space Center; As a kid I got the unrestricted total tour. I doubt every scorched return capsule from every mission would be sitting out in a huge hall for study if we hadn't really gone to the moon. The energy, the huge pride, that didn't come from any fakery. We went to The Moon!
We'll Miss you Neil. You're probably off leaving footprints on other planets now.
Twelve astronauts are pissed that we have yet to go back.
Please don't ever stop making these videos.
All spacefaring nations should come together and make a dream true...
i adore the Sagan Series.
I feel like we're close, very close. Within a few generations, nobody will care what color their neighbors are, or where they came from, or who did what to who's grandfather, or what invisible space monster they worship. And then, at long last, we will throw off this these petty instincts that betray our animal ancestry and venture forth to stride the invisible ether of the universe forever as gods. Man, Sagan always makes me wax poetic.
I like that! I agree!
We're going back to stay baby
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE. THANK YOU
Mr. Armstrong. I am sitting here wondering how many cardboard boxes I sat in as a child... drawing gauges and dials inside... to make my own space capsule. Thank you (and all of your colleagues) for all the imaginations and dreams you gave us as children to walk in your footsteps and thank you for the example you set for us all. Godspeed Neil.
Yes a new one. I truly love and appreciate this series. Thank you for making them and please don't stop. I will continue to spread the message and these videos to as many people that I can. Much love and respect for everyone.
The reason we kill each other on earth, seems so miniscule compared to our possibilities to venture trough space.
This is one of those RUclips shows that keeps getting better each time you watch it.... good video
Wow 40 years, 40 years since we stopped dreaming and advancing the human specie, and began to withdraw into our mistakes. The final frontier is the human mind.
Someone asked earlier what the song is, it's; To Build a Home by Cinematic Orchestra.
These videos make a difference! You make a difference!
