    You mentioned "a navigation camera"; there were actually two of them (visible in renderings of the spacecraft at 6:31 and the photo at 6:41). Those were dual star tracker cameras, which I helped design and write the software for. An amazingly complex and under-appreciated aspect of the mission. :)

    The level of genius that goes into sending out a man made object into the grand void of space and have it do such things like observe other objects and collect samples and then send those samples back to earth is mind blowing. I can't fathom the math and science behind all of that. Humans are truly interesting when you think of how we started out life living in caves and trees.

    Thank you for sharing the stories, note that while you discuss glycine in a comet you show purines from a meteorite at 10:34. Though both discoveries were from the same NASA team. Also, the significance of the spacecraft’s final transmission was to verify that the predicted amount of fuel left was accurate-it was.

    So I learned a lot from this video! Including the actual pronunciation of the comet's name. I'd never heard it out loud before, having only read one or two articles about the Stardust mission. And not knowing any context for the name - well, I assumed it was pronounced the same as the English word "wild"! I also somehow did not know there was aerogel on the sampling tray! It's been a long time since I read those articles, so I can't recall with sure clarity, but maybe they were more focused on the captured samples than the mechanisms of their acquisition.
    Very good content - thank you!

    I really enjoyed this one, Alex. The Stardust mission seems so long ago now. Just before Stardust, NASA's Genesis mission was to collect solar wind particles. That collector array used a variety of complex wafers made of gold, silicon, sapphire, etc. But the sample return capsule crashed in Utah in 2004 because of an accelerator installed backwards.

      I even found a flaw in the Genesis Avionics box that SHOULD have led them to find that the accel was in backwards but they missed that opportunity.

    @Astrum I'm no scientist, but when I read the title of this video I got excited. I got excited because I thought it was going to be about our star (The Sun) emissions of dust. I know that the Sun has a dust shell which it periodically blows off through SME's, super flares and mini-novas. So my mind was going in that direction, hoping that they have found 'life' in our Suns dust. I know there are huge quantities of space dust being observed by astronomers everywhere for quite some time. So my mind was hoping that this space dust was a form of early life that was intelligent, organized, and perhaps a blueprint of simple life that has been dispersed everywhere. I was fascinated to learn this was actually about the Stardust Mission. This was an excellent video. Thank you.

    I helped build, test, and Launch Stardust. I have a piece of the aerogel from the Engineering Development Grid that was installed in the spacecraft through environmental test.
    It even has a 'carrot track' in it from the testing at the hypervelocity vacuum test range.
    I also built, launched, and operated Deep Impact.
    It was the mission that was to punch a hole in Comet Tempel-1 and get a picture of the impact crater.
    That mission failed to get the picture but STARDUST came along a couple of years later and got the picture FOR US!
    YAY!

      @@stuartgray5877 Thank you Stuart for your amazing contributions to science. You obviously studied for many years, and gained incredible experience in your field. What is your field of expertise, Optics? I'm sure you could blow my mind with a tale or two from your daily work life, no matter where you located.

      My degree is in Electrical Engineering, but my job has always been an Aerospace Test Engineer. So I write the procedures to assemble and test the spacecraft from inception to Launch. So the hands-on TEs tend to know more than many of the engineers that helped build it about how it behaves.
      So they often use me to assist for a while after launch to get everything working.
      I do currently work for one of the most advanced Optics companies in the world. The same one that fixed the Hubble, built the Kepler space Telescope, and most of the hard part of JWST.

      It’s to find the title that attracts the most views. After all, this is about viewership and ad revenue for the content creator.
