It is more then that. You know the girl and the men are not fully human at all. Just look like humans. They are descendants of humans today. They could be said to be transhumans as that is what they are. Not magic like in Last Airbender but more science version of it.
04:28 Everytime I hear her whispering "water" I get goose bumps. The scene has never failed to do so even once ever since I've seen it for the first time!
How Rosetta is turning science fiction into science fact. Ambition, the film, starring Aiden Gillen (Game of Thrones), Aisling Franciosi and ESA Rosetta. Screened on 24 October during the British Film Institute’s celebration of Sci-Fi: Days of Fear and Wonder. Watch: ruclips.net/video/H08tGjXNHO4/видео.html Music score available here: soundcloud.com/atanasvalkov/sets/ambition-ost What's your ambition? Tell us below in the comments or on Twitter using the hashtag #MyAmbition .
I always pictured nanotechnology to be like this at it's true extent. It is truly astonishing to picture a world in which this is a fact of life, controlling nano-factories with mind (through build-in mind machine interface) and teraforming another wold as a personal hobby or as a school lesson.
Gosh, this is absolutely stunning. Moved me to tears. I have to say ESA is doing a brilliant job at getting people involved and enthusiastic for their projects and ambitions and science in general. Now I want to see a whole movie of this on the big screen. :D
It's all done on strategy. They want the people's interest so that the government would be ready to fund these billion dollar missions, by public taxes on public demand.
I absolutely loved it. The special effects were state of the art, and yet the beautifully scripted dialogue brought the viewer to contemplate where all of the water on earth came from, and then tied it directly to the Rosetta Mission! Bravo! Beautifully done! I showed it to my Chemistry and Physics students at the beginning of class. Nothing short of inspirational! I try to find things like this to start every class, every day!
I see why he says "stuberness ... we fall we picked ourselves and we adapted" In case the mission was a failure. I like the humbleness of the movie. :)
I am crying. This is the most beautiful, most epic,most wonderful shortfilm about life i've ever seen. The scenery is stunning. The actors extraordinary. I am so happy that esa show the world how beautiful science is. And i was always a fan of the rosetta mission.
Actually is such a motivational video, you will always fail over and over again but only you decide if continue fighting, standing up, or live crawling on the ground. Ambition makes us stronger and there is absolutely nothing we cant reach if we just have the strength and the guts to carry on with it.
Seriously this should be a feature length film taking place 100k-150k years distant and the thirst for knowledge continues to bring many complex, wonderful answers from a simple past. I'd be happy to write it. With regard to the film itself...the set, the actors (Aidan and Aisling are brilliant!), the script, the FX...what you folks collaborated on to present in less than 7 minutes totally outdid what a lot of "serious" sci-fi films and science documentaries struggled to do in 2.5-3 or more hours: fully entertain, mesmerize and educate. Bravo. NASA...this is how you do it in today's society. It's not that people aren't smart and imaginative to understand straight-forward presentations anymore. It's that they love a good story which inspires them to imagine and believe, which leads them to dream, have smart thinking, develop creativity and pursue something greater than themselves. Go on...tell the story about all the big missions, all the events, all the people that lead to vast communities of evolved humans across the galaxy just now managing to handle the very laws of gravity itself, beginning to appreciate our universe beyond the known physical realm...and how they all owe it to a little thing called Rosetta. Its mission wasn't to capture a comet. Its mission was to capture human ambition.
I'd be willing to bet that this could be more like 500 years in the future. Provided that we don't destroy civilization with global warming, nukes, or a pandemic, I think the arc of technological progress could bring about these sorts of people by then. With Irish accents. Probably still in our own solar system, however - nanotechnology seems to be progressing way faster than space travel tech. I also agree about the presentation. Companies produce all sorts of ridiculous commercials constantly (e.g. drinking this beer will make you sexy and happy!), but when a governmental space exploration organization does it intelligently, it gets criticized as wasteful. Because government = evil, or something.
I would love to see this as a series of little 5 minute stories teaching philosophy, culture, ethics, art, etc. from the point of an ultra advanced civilization. The master mentoring the apprentice moving from one level and subject to the next. The potential is unlimited. :)
Not the kind of content I expected from the official ESA channel... but I like it! The CGI is great, and most importantly, so is the narration. Well done!
Wonderful... This is exactly the kind of things we need: a good state of mind. Stubborness, being prepared to fail sometimes and learn from our mistakes to further the human knowledge. What the ESA has done till now is incredibly inspiring and amazing. All space agencies should work together more.
I've watched it 10 times now! It's so intersting and the visual effects! You could almost see every single dust particle, this is truly a master piece!
This needs to be a web series! Imagine retrospective science documentary with VFX about humanity's past and current space explorations! I'd totally watch it!
I know this is for the Rosetta mission, but this is one of the best short films I've ever seen. Visually and all. Things like this makes me happy to be a screenplay writer and soon to be director. Amazing.
I've seen Interstellar today and learned about the success of Rosetta mission just after getting back home. What an awesome day to go to see this great movie. This one above is cool as well. Go People, together we can everything!
(tears of joy) I thought that actual SciFi was limited to what we see on TV nowadays. You could count on me for anything else that you might want to create. You are the best!
I'm here, on November 12th 2024, to celebrate the 10 years anniversary of Philae's landing. Congratulations to all ESA teams and partners for this incredible journey !
Absolutely marvellous piece. Made by Tomasz Bagiński and Plati Image team, with support of known Polish Sci-Fi author, Jacek Dukaj. Tells the story of incredible ESA Rosetta mission to chase down a comet in a manner of sci-fi short story (ca 4:30 min) with breath-taking special effects #ESA #Rosetta #baginski #PlatiImage #cometlanding
Brawo ESA, plan wykonany! Brawo Tomek! Myślałem że to kolejna animacja, bardzo dobra animacja... Ale to jest dzieło sztuki! Ciarki na plecach poczułem po zniszczeniu "monolitu" i tak mi pozostało aż do napisów :) Mistrzostwo Świata! Jedynie największe produkcje światowego kina mogą Ci dorównać.
Panie Tomku!!! Ale ODLOT!!! Dziéki Tobie i każdemu zaangażowanemu w ten projekt. Za tà piéknà przygodé po trzykroć wam DZIÉKI!!! Ciekaw jestem jakby wyglàdały komiksy Ericha von Dänikena, Bogowie z Kosmosu lub Thorgal, w Pańskim wydaniu :-) :-) :-) Pan mògłby temu podołać!!!
This is the best movie I've seen in... idk, ever? Nano-wizardy, ecoforming, the focus and message, just yes!If there can be more, please make it happen. Please.
Wow! I mean this one of the best scifi short films I have seen. And being European, it fills me with pride to be a part of this cometary adventure. But thank you ESA, JPL/NASA and every other scientific organization around the globe. I hope many consider seeing this instead of prime time tv-commercials..
Great 'short'!! Nicely done. Flawless execution. The tone, the story arc, the direction, the acting, the wardrobe & makeup, the effects, editing - all superb, and still, the MAGIC wrapped it all into the result of "Ambition. THANK YOU.
This short film was awesome! The graphics, music and sound were outstanding. The dialogue aptly portrayed the mini-story very well. I nominate this film for the short film category! And congratulations to the Rosetta project.
If that was an advert for a feature film, it would have been enough to make me sit up and pay attention. I've seen adverts for blockbuster movies that were not nearly as interesting as this short scifi movie. I want more! great effort!
This is great! I'm glad that the ESA is attempting to "turn science fiction into science fact," and it's amazing they're showing everyone how interesting space exploration really is and how much _just going for it_ regardless of the risks and protests can really affect our future.
i would love to be a kid watching this. Things like this and the work the Rosetta team are doing must be inspiring kids about science , space and learning
The European Space Agency (ESA) just showed the world how to make an announcement film. Bringing forth the brilliance of science and our imaginations to further explore our universe.
This landing (fingers crossed!) takes me back to when I was a kid to when Giotto flew through Halley's tail. That was another first; how far we have come. Cool times we're living in.
I would like to contribute to this video by adding an Arabic translation could you please help me so to make it viral in the Arab world as well because it is great movie
Poor philae is dead right now hopefully it gets enough sunlight to revive. It would be fantastic to see if they can confirm and get further details about the early results from the Ptolemy which showed carbon possibly complex carbon molecules.
Wow, I learned something just now. I didnt realize that a human could actually get goosebumps on top of goosebumps. Nice job ESA, way to get people completely excited about space! What are you trying to do, inspire the world or something!? Amazing stuff :)
I understand it takes a few hours for Philae to land on the surface, I will definitely be glued to the life streaming.GOOD LUCK to the Rosetta and Philae team!
Absloutley a dream to watch, and the message is stern and clear. Well done. From a self-taught spare time 3D VFX artist, the effects are a joy to watch. Very well done!
I think ESA are trying to appeal to a generation used to SFX in films (Oblivion, Edge of Tomorrow, etc). I think they succeeded. Though to be honest, if such a mission doesn't already capture your imagination anyway, you're not alive.
Really this film represents the worst impulses of mankind towards the greed for power and control. It has zilch to do with understanding our tiny place in the cosmos and scientific understanding of that place and everything to do with Harry Potter-like displays of magical power. It's science distorted into Wagnerian superstition and dreams of omnipotence.
Chazbot So you want us to be content with "understanding", while we wait in our shabby little huts for the next big asteroid to wipe us out? Deeper knowledge in fact goes hand in hand with obtaining more power. As we gain power we have greater potential for understanding, and as we gain understanding out potential increases to obtain more power.
"Understanding our place" or "accepting our role" isn't us. That's for other animals, lesser creatures than we. Why should we accept and perish, when we can excel and become more than what we are now limited to doing?
I may be wrong, but I believe this is supposed to be a future when Humans have evolved into being capable of seeding life/water on other planetary bodies. If you ask me it displays a distant goal that we can work towards achieving.
Truly an amazingly well produced film. Creates a sense of wonder and magic and then uses current events as the film's history to drive curiosity. I want to see more of this story, both in today's perspective as it is happening, and from this future standpoint as a history lesson between teacher and student. Ambition, drive, the need to know and explore. Pushing humanity forward throughout the ages, crossing continents, then oceans and finally reaching out into the dark skies.
Is it just me, or does this come off as a little bit pretentious, to release a film regaling the "success" of the Rosetta mission, while it still hasn't finished yet? We don't (yet) know if landing the lander on the comet will be successful. I hope it is, but let's just wait and see, shall we?
***** So far so good, but they haven't successfully landed on it yet. And Rosetta isn't the first to catch a comet; there've been probes to catch up with and interact with comets previously. This will be the first to land on a comet, however, _if_ it succeeds.
***** And that quote is a perfect example of why this whole video is fictional. I'd rather see ESA's budget for marketing and making videos like this spent on scientific (non-fictional) videos, personally.
Two advanced transhumans in the act of learning and play, terraforming and creating, working on either a new world or reshaping part of our own. This is what I hope the future of entertainment could in part be.
and congratulatios to mr MarkMccaughrean, who came to Lisbon, yesterday (29Jan) to explain us the Rosetta mission, thank you all, for the wonderfull work and good luck for future missions
Staggering, awesome piece of art. The first installment of optional SF movie " Terraformers" and behind it marvelous Rosetta mission. Little-finger was great in his master's role. Love an idea.of science promotion.
"I destroyed your rock." Classic Littlefinger.
yess🔥
I like how a 5-minute video does element bending better than the Last Airbender movie.
It is more then that. You know the girl and the men are not fully human at all. Just look like humans. They are descendants of humans today. They could be said to be transhumans as that is what they are. Not magic like in Last Airbender but more science version of it.
Avatar is totally scientific, scientists just don't want Muggles to know they can bend atoms.

"Water is the key to life on Earth"
Very inspiring. I love it.
Really awesome to see science promoted like this
To become the anthropomorphic personification of the Central Intelligence Agency of America #MyAmbition
I always pictured nanotechnology to be like this at it's true extent.

Now I want to see a whole movie of this on the big screen. :D
Too bad it's all wrong. There is no water on asteroids!
@@ToIsleOfView Rosetta landed on a comet and there's plenty of water on those in the form of ice
It's all done on strategy. They want the people's interest so that the government would be ready to fund these billion dollar missions, by public taxes on public demand.
This needs to be a series. Or a movie at least. I need more.
I know right. The visuals are outstanding, and the concept (futuristic mages/magicians) sounds so badass.
+Oz Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Well, you might see not too dissimilar magic scenes in The Witcher on Netflix soon, since Tomek Baginski is also co-directing for that project.
i couldn't agree more
I absolutely loved it. The special effects were state of the art, and yet the beautifully scripted dialogue brought the viewer to contemplate where all of the water on earth came from, and then tied it directly to the Rosetta Mission!

We're so glad!
absolutely 👍
Never gets old watching this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's 2023, and I'm still waiting for a feature length version of this.
I think I've lost count of how many times over I've watched this short-film. So inspiring!

Wow
muy bueno fueron en busca de agua..
When is it landing again! (time zone included please) All I can see on the site is go-no go;s so far .
Around 11 EST takes 30 minutes or so for the signal to arrive, so 1130
I know this is for the Rosetta mission, but this is one of the best short films I've ever seen. Visually and all. Things like this makes me happy to be a screenplay writer and soon to be director. Amazing.

I usually feel lost, but when it comes to Space, it's here that my heart, my soul and my body get oriented and start to fly.
This is so wonderful, and Gillen's acting does just right for it. Congrats!
I've seen Interstellar today and learned about the success of Rosetta mission just after getting back home. What an awesome day to go to see this great movie. This one above is cool as well. Go People, together we can everything!

"Once upon a time,"
"Really?"
"This is a good one, I promise."
Holy Saturn! The visuals of the Rosetta mission with space as a training background looks stunning!
Thanks for liking my comment. Didn’t expect to actually get a like from an actual space agency. Thanks very much.
One of the best films about science and space exploration. Do more like this pls!

Coming from the future: Netflix series :)
@@GHontanar95 Coming further from the future...it was a great success
This short film was awesome! The graphics, music and sound were outstanding. The dialogue aptly portrayed the mini-story very well. I nominate this film for the short film category! And congratulations to the Rosetta project.
Yes! This film for a Hugo!
I think it was Arthur C. Clarke who said something like "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
right
Amizing film, thank you. Huge respect for authors of Rosetta program - you made history. Amazing times we live in.
What a brilliant short film! A great way to capture peoples interest and imagination in the the science of astronomy and science in general :)
If that was an advert for a feature film, it would have been enough to make me sit up and pay attention. I've seen adverts for blockbuster movies that were not nearly as interesting as this short scifi movie. I want more! great effort!
Water... Earth... Fire... Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
This is great! I'm glad that the ESA is attempting to "turn science fiction into science fact," and it's amazing they're showing everyone how interesting space exploration really is and how much _just going for it_ regardless of the risks and protests can really affect our future.
AMBITION IS A LADDAH
i would love to be a kid watching this. Things like this and the work the Rosetta team are doing must be inspiring kids about science , space and learning
Littlefinger is still Littlefinger no matter in what movie he is.
Atanas Valkov your music is delightful.
The handsome and mysterious older man, and the beautiful and up-and-coming young woman, playing a game of power... what does this remind you of?
asdf30111 Check out Petyr and Sansa of Game of Thrones!
Mischa Houston I was gonna say! He's playing pretty much the same role here as in GoT rofl
The first people to make learning about science entertaining.
"I was watching you earlier. You remind me of your mother."
Every few months/years I re-watch this masterpiece, makes me cry every time 🥲
Damn, that was better than "Prometheus" AND had more meaning!
Probably one of the best promotional videos ever made!
3:02-3:08 Knowledge is power.
I can't even say why this moves me so. Stirs my soul each time I watch it.
One way to get people more interested in science is to produce more interesting films like these!
Truly spectacular work on this. I love seeing the ESA doing such cutting edge science and I was blown away by this film short.
No disrespect to Peter but I think Gandalf would have made a better space wizard.
The European Space Agency (ESA) just showed the world how to make an announcement film. Bringing forth the brilliance of science and our imaginations to further explore our universe.
So Littlefinger won and this is season 8
This landing (fingers crossed!) takes me back to when I was a kid to when Giotto flew through Halley's tail. That was another first; how far we have come. Cool times we're living in.
I would like to contribute to this video by adding an Arabic translation
could you please help me so to make it viral in the Arab world as well
because it is great movie
+mercury Can you please send an email to connectwithus@esa.int - many thanks!
I sent you an email, I would like to get a sample of the subtitle text file so I can do the proper translation, a.altayeb@msn.com is my email
First I thought it was "Meh", but when they referred to our history, more precisely the Rosetta mission, it became really awesome!!!
Poor philae is dead right now hopefully it gets enough sunlight to revive. It would be fantastic to see if they can confirm and get further details about the early results from the Ptolemy which showed carbon possibly complex carbon molecules.
Not dead, just sleeping... ;)
European Space Agency, ESA Hopefully not permanently but even if it is permanent it's still an amazing achievement. :D
The peace maker BOO YAH!
Wow, I learned something just now. I didnt realize that a human could actually get goosebumps on top of goosebumps. Nice job ESA, way to get people completely excited about space! What are you trying to do, inspire the world or something!? Amazing stuff :)
Dear god, they're Earth Benders!
I understand it takes a few hours for Philae to land on the surface, I will definitely be glued to the life streaming.GOOD LUCK to the Rosetta and Philae team!
Sansa and Littlefinger!
After season 6 ----> Littlefinger and Lyanna.
Absloutley a dream to watch, and the message is stern and clear. Well done. From a self-taught spare time 3D VFX artist, the effects are a joy to watch. Very well done!
I think ESA are trying to appeal to a generation used to SFX in films (Oblivion, Edge of Tomorrow, etc). I think they succeeded. Though to be honest, if such a mission doesn't already capture your imagination anyway, you're not alive.
Aidan Gillen : They landed on a comet, and the feminists bashed the author of this feat for his shirt...
A very nice way to explain the purpose and significance of the Rosetta mission. Well done!
Glad you liked it, Damien!
... and then he marries her to a rapist.
Aerys II Targaryen At least he doesn't burn people!
Piękne.... a do tego mój ulubiony bohater "Gry o Tron" i super dobrane dźwięki, które zaraz po animacji są tym, co najbardziej lubię w filmach Tomka.
Really this film represents the worst impulses of mankind towards the greed for power and control. It has zilch to do with understanding our tiny place in the cosmos and scientific understanding of that place and everything to do with Harry Potter-like displays of magical power.
It's science distorted into Wagnerian superstition and dreams of omnipotence.
transhumanism is real. no laws of physics are broken in obtaining god like powers
Chazbot So you want us to be content with "understanding", while we wait in our shabby little huts for the next big asteroid to wipe us out?
Deeper knowledge in fact goes hand in hand with obtaining more power. As we gain power we have greater potential for understanding, and as we gain understanding out potential increases to obtain more power.
"Understanding our place" or "accepting our role" isn't us. That's for other animals, lesser creatures than we. Why should we accept and perish, when we can excel and become more than what we are now limited to doing?
I may be wrong, but I believe this is supposed to be a future when Humans have evolved into being capable of seeding life/water on other planetary bodies.
If you ask me it displays a distant goal that we can work towards achieving.
What's wrong with dreaming? Are you gonna censor dreaming now?
Truly an amazingly well produced film. Creates a sense of wonder and magic and then uses current events as the film's history to drive curiosity. I want to see more of this story, both in today's perspective as it is happening, and from this future standpoint as a history lesson between teacher and student.
Ambition, drive, the need to know and explore. Pushing humanity forward throughout the ages, crossing continents, then oceans and finally reaching out into the dark skies.
Is it just me, or does this come off as a little bit pretentious, to release a film regaling the "success" of the Rosetta mission, while it still hasn't finished yet? We don't (yet) know if landing the lander on the comet will be successful. I hope it is, but let's just wait and see, shall we?
***** So far so good, but they haven't successfully landed on it yet. And Rosetta isn't the first to catch a comet; there've been probes to catch up with and interact with comets previously.
This will be the first to land on a comet, however, _if_ it succeeds.
***** And that quote is a perfect example of why this whole video is fictional. I'd rather see ESA's budget for marketing and making videos like this spent on scientific (non-fictional) videos, personally.
***** I don't know, is it? Either way, they have a budget, and someone there chose to spend that on this instead of something educational.
***** I think it's a sad commentary on Internet users if they need a fictional video in order to motivate themselves to get educated.
***** *sigh*
Really nice work. Science should definitely be advertised more through such spots. There is nothing more awesome than science.
I believe now Nasa should do the science-faction movies.Not the ignorant scenarists...
bless your mouth :D
