  • Other than Earth, no planet in our solar system has been so thoroughly or long examined as Mars. For decades, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has continuously explored the Red Planet with an array of orbiters, landers, and rovers.
    What laid the groundwork for this unparallel record of exploration? This 90-minute documentary describes the challenges of JPL’s first attempts to send spacecraft to the Red Planet.
    For much of human history, Mars was no more than a tiny reddish dot in the sky. But in 1965, the first spacecraft ever to visit Mars, JPL’s Mariner 4, began to change our understanding of the planet with its grainy black and white images. The data from Mariner 4, and from missions that followed, were full of confusing data for scientists to understand.
    The Changing Face of Mars reveals, through archival footage and interviews with key scientists and engineers, JPL's first roles in exploring the Red Planet, from Mariner 4, through the 1976 arrival of the Viking orbiters and landers.

    I was a NASA-freak kid. I remember when Navy and USAF missiles couldn't get off the ground. But then it became more successful and it was A-OK all the way. Mercury astronauts were superheroes. All liftoffs were TV adventures. And JPL was residence of the gods. It was a time for pride and glory and all the excitement a kid could ever want. It was my time and the memories are sweet.

    I have really enjoyed each of the videos that JPL have produced about their endeavours in space exploration. Behind the scenes footage, the great scientists and engineers, footage of some of the spacecraft involved, what a treat! i hope the team that makes these videos continue to make many more. After all, the missions and stories behind them must be almost as infinite as space itself. Well done everyone at JPL!

    I really appreciated the part of this report devoted to George Pimentel - when I was at Berkeley he was still active though he'd mellowed after having been diagnosed with cancer. He loved science and yet encouraged junior scientists to remember to live life and balance that against the intense fever that can accompany a devoted career in science. He also knew that it was essential the public be included in the human venture of science, to understand why it brings excitement to help push back against the vast veil of ignorance in human's understanding of the cosmos. I am grateful to have known such a man.

      True science is far more interesting than any of the fake space, sci-fi BS coming out of NASA. Also, look up the etymology of the word “entertainment” (which is literally all that NASA provides for ~$15B per year in funding.) There’s a reason why things pull at heartstrings but it typically has nothing to do with the objective reality in which we reside.

      @cthoadmin7458 2 года назад

      ​@@davidj231 Sorry David I don't know what you mean. Those images coming back from probes are only the tip of the ice burg. Sensors on the probes provide aa wealth of information to scientists, far more than the images alone. Lookup NASA's origins program. The possibility of discovering life elsewhere would have a profound impact on objective reality. Who knows what discoveries may come from looking into deep space like the James Webb telescope is now doing. Not to mention the side benefits of technology resulting from better sensors, image processing, electronics, communications, rocketry... all propelled by the desire to look further and discover more. I'd say that was a bargain for $15B a year.

    I just saw my whole life pass before my eyes. I witnessed every event on the road to mars, beginning when I was a young man. Before that in my youth I read Bradbury, and in my childhood, Edgar Rice burroughs, and dreamed of mars. This wonderful documentary put that all in perspective for me. Now I continue to follow the adventures of Curiosity and Perseverance, but I am jaded. This planet is a barren desert. After all that effort, there is nothing there for us.

      @FredPlanatia 2 года назад +4

      Well, I'd say the dreams of our collective childhood have been vanquished by the intrepid dedication to know the truth. Amazingly, Mars has been like Pandora's box. Each time we go back there are new surprises. Mars past being the biggest question mark. There was flowing water there billions of years ago, great seas or even an ocean existed and so the climate must have been more temperate and the atmosphere thick enough to shield the surface. Even now they have found evidence of water under the surface. So the question "Was there ever life there?" is unanswered to this day. We just never knew how hard it would be to answer that question - probably it was good that we didn't. Those 1st baby steps have led us to day where we have landed in the most promising terrain to look for evidence with a rover capable of things the pioneers of Mars exploration could only dream of.

    I wish JPL would produce far more of these documentary presentations.
    The output from main networks, e.g. CBS, BBC, ABC and such like is very depressing. Far too little of it in far too little detail far too infrequently.
    Here in the UK, the BBC is pretty well dedicated to cookery programmes and wishy-washy super safe programming. There are less and less opportunities to view deeper science programming. They even tried to cancel the Sky at Night programme a few years back and that was only on for 30 minutes once per month!
    So, I personally plea to JPL and others to release your own archives and put on the wider public record your work. The deeper the detail the better - from milling out machined spacecraft components to RF theory & design to image processing - the lot! A no holds barred Uber fest of scientific endukgence we can finally get our teeth into.
    Surely there must be a way to do this as you're the ones with the engineers, materials and researchers right there in the heart of your organisation.

    A curious information is that JPL, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, was founded in 1936 in Pasadena, California by, among others, Qian Xuesen, who in the 1950s was forced by McCarthyism to move back to China, where he built up China's space and missile program. And became China's answer to the United States' Wernher von Braun, and the Soviet Union's Sergei Korolev.
    Qian Xuesen inspired young people in the country to invest in space, which today has placed China at the forefront, among the world's foremost space nations.
    China may even surprise by becoming the nation that places the first man on Mars.
    We humans would surely have had outposts, colonies on other celestial bodies today, if Qian Xuesen, Wernher von Braun and Sergei Korolev had had the opportunity to cooperate.

From then to the end of the century, it will be Fantasy Land or Through the Looking Glass where up is down and small is large, where the Cheshire cat can fade into a smile. The dreams of Elon Musk will seem so ordinary. In 2045 the Printing Press that created books and our educated society, will celebrate it's 600th birthday. Imagine someone from the medieval world before printing, where books were hand written, arriving in our world, where we throw out paper as trash and treat books as disposable. Then leap forward 600 years. NOW imagine the changes along the way.

  • @82spiders
    @82spiders 2 года назад +23

    I was a proto-geek at 8 years old and listened to every Mercury, Gemini and Apollo mission that was broadcast. And Viking. My uncle was a nuclear physicist and mostly couldn't say anything about where he was in '44 and '45. He was disturbed they killed the nuclear engine which he worked on. He took me on a brief tour of Lawrence Livermore labs. In 1963 he predicted break even fusion reactor by 2,000. Scientist can reliable predict anything (arguable) within 1 order of magnitude so between 20 and 200 years from 1963. What you are not seeing in these videos is what killed this zeal for scientific and technological prowess. It was the stupidest idea the US has ever tried and failed to execute. All the money for space exploration was eaten by DOD and the Vietnam war. Defense contractors fund the campaigns of congresspersons and Senators who give them money. This is the Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warns us of in his last speech as president. Reverse Citizen's United!!!

    "If Only We Had Taller Been" By Ray Bradbury
    The Fence We Walked Between The Years
    Did Balance Us Serene;
    It Was A Place Half In The Sky Where
    In The Green Of Leaf And Promising Of Peach
    We’d Reach Our Hands To Touch And Almost Touch The Sky,
    If We Could Reach And Touch, We Said,
    ‘Twould Teach Us, Not To, Never To Be Dead.
    We Ached, And Almost Touched That Stuff;
    Our Reach Was Never Quite Enough.
    If Only We Had Taller Been,
    And Touched God’s Cuff, His Hem,
    We Would Not Have To Go With Them
    Who’ve Gone Before,
    Who, Short As We, Stood Tall As They Could Stand
    And Hoped By Stretching Tall To Keep Their Land,
    Their Home, Their Hearth, Their Flesh And Soul.
    But They, Like Us, Were Standing In A Hole.
    O, Thomas, Will A Race One Day Stand Really Tall
    Across The Void, Across The Universe And All?
    And, Measured Out With Rocket Fire,
    At Last Put Adam’s Finger Forth
    As On The Sistine Ceiling,
    And God’s Hand Come Down The Other Way
    To Measure Man And Find Him Good,
    And Gift Him With Forever’s Day?
    I Work For That.
    Short Man, Large Dream. I Send My Rockets Forth Between My Ears,
    Hoping An Inch Of Good Is Worth A Pound Of Years.
    Aching To Hear A Voice Cry Back Along The Universal Mall:
    We’ve Reached Alpha Centauri!
    We’re Tall, O God, We’re Tall!
