It's like walking into one of your classes in middle school - and the lights are turned out - and there's a 16mm projector in the back - and this is the film you watch.
Equating intelligence to be a soothing voice... wtf? This isn't even a documentary, it's nothing but assumptive crap which we know now to be incorrect.
25:10 Thats the sort of thing that modern documentaries lack, the feeling of triumph and longing, the want to undertand and know the universe and all of her secrets. The sense that humanity's destiny lie amongst the stars and our future await there.
I love all documentaries about space really, but like this one, it feels more like an adventure, that you are somehow part of this little journey of exploration.
Wow puts me to sleep in minutes!!!! After not sleeping good forever I remembered the best sleep I ever had was in science class hahaha and bam found this!! Putting me to sleep for over four years now!
I'm sure this was shown in countless science classes back then. Brilliant use of taking advantage of "Captain Kirk" to narrate. I'm pretty sure lots of kids knew Star Trek and this narration likely kept them paying attention.
love this, is there a longer version of this film ? William Shatner has narrated other films as this during the 1970's thank you so much for publishing this 💫📡🔭❤
Science videos today are noisy and seem to be made for people with ADHD and are voiced over by people who sound or try hard to sound like slackers or surf dudes who don’t even read any science.
When I was in school in the '70s, we watched films like this. Although this wasn't one of them, but very similar stuff. I have a feeling that PBS might've broadcast it. I wouldn't suspect that it was William Shatner who did the narration!
They edited out the parts where Spock would interrupt this narration to inform the Captain that 3 Klingon Birds of Prey just decloaked off the starboard bow.
Some of the special effects in this were reused in the 1978 science fiction TV series, "Quark." That spaceship in the end was definitely reused. The supernova animation was also reused in the pilot episode. I'm still trying to figure out where the rest of the Quark SFX shots came from though, as the show clearly did not have enough of a budget to make their own. My hunch is if they came from another NASA film like this, is this part of another series? Does anyone have any titles or any links to similar directions from around the same time?
Fun Fact: We've never seen the ignition of a new star in the entire history of astronomy. (we have telescopes powerful enough to see the ice-cold gas in interstellar nebulae but somehow we can't detect new nuclear fireballs???) Instructions on how to find a new star: 1. Take a picture or use an old picture. 2. Wait any amount of time. 3. Take a second picture of the same patch of sky. 4. Compare the pictures, if there is a new bright shiny dot in the second picture which appeared in the sky in the time between the first and the second picture, than, congratulations you are the first astronomer to find a star. Good luck, we haven't been able to do it in the entire history of photographic astronomy. And there are no records from the ancient past of new stars being reported and the Persians, Greeks, and Chinese kept detailed records. Because God made all the stars on day 4. Note: I am not talking about the formation period of a star which "theoretically" could take a very long time. I'm talking about Ignition, the point at which it changes from gas into thermonuclear plasma. On Earth this is a nuclear explosion. How could it be a slow process in space.
Honestly, i think this influenced the Grateful Dead's animation pieces, one being in the first GD movie. At the time it felt like all of America was interested in space and its other possible occupants.
Stuff like this is what made school interesting in the 70s. The subject will always be interesting, but this piece took some hard work with animation technology at the time. I can still remember film time in elementary school. Much better than the lame-ass "film STRIP" DOONG, Flip to the next frame....goofy kid turns knob...
What an existentially depressing film. Truth can be so disheartening. The only thing that trumps our existential reality is God. God exists beyond the existential, beyond nature and natural physical phenomena. God exists beyond science and what science can prove. Science is a tool for the natural and physical world. It can never prove the supernatural nor is it necessary to prove the supernatural. “The supernatural is something that is not supposed to exist but it does.” Some people are gifted to experience the preternatural and the supernatural. Others must take it on faith.

💯
Learning was so much better back then because of intelligent documentaries like this. That's a soothing voice
Yeah like Captain Kurt meets Rod Sterling
Except for the whole "we've learned a crap ton since then".
Equating intelligence to be a soothing voice... wtf? This isn't even a documentary, it's nothing but assumptive crap which we know now to be incorrect.
@@AngryHateMusic and they are still wrong... i love comments like this.
@@nickhaldin8674 i love seeing the first intelligence and who they were. Proud of our people. And btw they are still wrong . Yw

Grateful to be an age where I grew up with documentaries like this
I love all documentaries about space really, but like this one, it feels more like an adventure, that you are somehow part of this little journey of exploration.
Thank you Mr.Alvarez. I play this softly to lull me to sleep. Shatner's voice is so calming.
Wow puts me to sleep in minutes!!!! After not sleeping good forever I remembered the best sleep I ever had was in science class hahaha and bam found this!! Putting me to sleep for over four years now!
Much better than the stupid interviews pretending to be documentaries of today.
Narrated by shatner?! It’s so old I didn’t even recognize his voice. Dude sounds like a teenager!
I love it
I'm sure this was shown in countless science classes back then. Brilliant use of taking advantage of "Captain Kirk" to narrate. I'm pretty sure lots of kids knew Star Trek and this narration likely kept them paying attention.
It was always CGI and Photoshop.
Sapce is FAKE.
Love these 70's U.S. docus when American narrators weren't yet highly sensationalist irritating .
Pluto getting pictured in 2015.. how much has changed.
Call me crazy, but that voice belongs to William Shatner, the tone and diction are unmistakeable.
Its him, its in the credits
I love his voice. Especially when he was young.
Ofc gregory scott's gonna be appreciating the voice over of a 1970's nasa doco.
Great vid today btw
He's actually done a few voiceovers for different NASA documentaries.
love this, is there a longer version of this film ? William Shatner has narrated other films as this during the 1970's thank you so much for publishing this 💫📡🔭❤
Thank you kind Sir for sharing.
Narration is perfect. Modern US documentary narration is garbage. They should use this voice over with modern visuals.
E M you’re right
Absolutely right !!
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!!
Fun fact: It's William Shatner!
Science videos today are noisy and seem to be made for people with ADHD and are voiced over by people who sound or try hard to sound like slackers or surf dudes who don’t even read any science.
Am I the only one at 35 loving these old video ?!
Na this puts me asleep least a few times a day( 7plates 30 screws ) I have trouble sleeping. Three mins in n I’m out !!!

Perfect narration

Great loved that! Takes me back!! Thanks
And narrated by Captain Kirk!
Just started watching I can tell the captain is going to boldly take me where no man has gone before😉
Wow that sounds to me like the original THX sound, cool
Am I the only one who miss that creepy narration from old documentaries?
no ur not
“Creepy”? How is it creepy? William Shatner isn’t creepy.
@@leukdagen11 the music is very foreboding
Great channel. Thanks
the music are so energetic i love it.
Beautiful

It looks like parts were done by disneys artists, i assume anyway.
Private Private huh. What makes you say that?
It's a wonderful song!
This talks to you like an equal and teacher like, doesn't try to be fancy and overbearing, humble :)
Soooooooo 50 years later I thought this would be really dated considering what we know now, but it's not 🤔
Who narrated this? I love it, and the sounds are great.
William Shatner.🤘😜🤘
@@adamofgrayskull7735 I thought it sounded like him. He also narrated Paddle to the Sea back in 1966. The same year that Star Trek first came out.
Me llama la atención el camarografo que viajo tan lejos.
Excellent video!. What is the name of the orchestra, of the background music ??. Thank you
Gregory Castillo the Orlando orchestra
a million thanks
What is the name of the background music?
Is there any way to get the voiceover audio by itself?

Beautiful!
Does anyone know where this documentary is from (which site/archive)? And if it's possible to get a license for it?
Do you know if this is under Creative Commons at this point? Like if I wanted to use some of the video clips for my music?
22:55 mystical and beautiful
The end of the Observable Universe ⚪🎇🎆 22:21
Is William Shatner narrating this? It sounds just like him.
Yup, it says hes name at the credits
What is the songs name of the background music?
Is that Captain Kirk narrating? I do believe it is.
Alpha Centauri was only confirmed by nasa in 2017 so how is it possible to know of it here
Life is all memory
Does Anyone Using This For Doctor Who 1990s Intro?
So this is the documentary that inspired 2001
I’m going to use in my song
Shatner Trek! Boldly Go Where One Lifeform has been to... a lot!
Is this film in the public domain?
Honestly, i think this influenced the Grateful Dead's animation pieces, one being in the first GD movie. At the time it felt like all of America was interested in space and its other possible occupants.
who's here cuz of armor for sleep
Anyone know the exact year this is from ?
Half assed newer colour copy (of the better 1960 Universe film by the NFB). Not totally terrible and Shatner narration isn’t too bad
Look all i gotta say is mute this and play TOOL disposition-reflection-triad. You're welcome.

Only he could narrate this .....KAAAHHHNNÑ
This is better than drugs Jerry

Sounds like Douglas Rain.
Stanley Kubrick didn't kill himself.
Elvis killed him 😂
elvis is dead lol@@whirledpeas3477
William Shatner?????
(15:20) Try 24 trillion miles!!!
Indeed, but he wasn't wrong in what he said either.
Why put ads in now I can’t watch till I fall asleep!!! Thanks won’t be watching anymore!!!!!
As if they are here to cater ...

so this doc is from the 70's, and I lived under a rock in a communist country until '89. So much time lost.
NO joke. I understand
