JPL and the Space Age: The Hunt for Space Rocks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 чер 2023
- Asteroids and comets are among the oldest objects in our solar system. They mostly reside at safe distances from Earth, but some find their way into our planetary backyard.
Every day, the Earth receives visitors from outer space: tons of space debris that mostly goes unnoticed. Some of these “shooting stars,” however, do survive the fiery descent through the atmosphere. That’s what happened to the dinosaurs 65 million years ago when a massive asteroid - or comet - struck Earth. But as the saying goes: "The dinosaurs didn't have a space agency. Fortunately, we do."
“The Hunt for Space Rocks” chronicles JPLs pioneering work to understand asteroids and comets as part of NASA’s larger effort to protect our planet from cosmic marauders. From JPL’s effort to mount a mission to study the most famous comet of all - Halley’s comet - to the lab’s current role in planetary defense with its Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). The documentary drives home a clear message: We need to find the asteroids and comets before they find us.
Documentary length: 1 hour 52 minutes

AS space nerd, I love watching and learning ,more and more about this space. BIG THANKS.
Do you KSP ?
@@caryfrancis8030 he is not that nerdy tho💀
I'm with you mate i love watching these documentreys 🇬🇧👍✌
JPL. Thank you for creating these documentaries and sharing them with us here. What an excellent way to highlight the numerous contributions JPL teams have made. Bravo!
@willyberg123 pppppppppppp
Hands down best content created about asteroids and our current understanding and defence capability against its threats
This is an excellent production! As a person who grew up watching those old school NOVA documentaries on PBS, in the 1970s and 1980s, this production is exactly my speed. If you like information dense, clearly produced, no silly frills documentaries, this is for you. This is a what educational video should be - highly informative, well structured, dense. Wonderful!
and me who also played mass effect
Same goes for me
There are not such things as unnecessary ornamental features in space videos.
So glad to see another fantastic documentary coming!
This series has been amazing!🎉
What a highly informative series this is … absolutely remarkable work by our science and other NASA communities to gain extraordinary knowledge from astroids and comets - it’s certainly precarious space thank JPL
Amazing set of documentaries… lots to learn from… please keep sharing your experience in this format… I am sure there are masses of science enthusiasts who will one day or the other definitely be looking back to this! Love from India 🇮🇳
The DART mission certainly sits upon the shoulders of great scientists and engineers. Can't imagine that mission would be possible without prior work ans successes such as this. Such beautiful and wonderful work.
😊
Yeah yeah yeah. ......🤓
Like Voyager 1 and 2 the first spacecrafts to goto all the planet's and did alot of photo's and telling us the compositions that made up the planet's crust and the gases in there atmosphere's. So relaxing watching and leaning alot about what is in our solo system and galaxy ✌🇬🇧👍
I am amazed how space research has progressed in my lifetime, I remember the Voyager missions and loved looking at the images when they were published and also the Mars Viking landers. I also remember at School a teacher said that Venus was most likely a cloud wrapped tropical water world inhabited by Lizard people floating on rafts, I was so disappointed when the Soviet Venera missions finally reached the surface and revealed the true state of venus, no Lizard people to visit. Anyway I hope to live long enough to see more exciting Space missions and maybe find life on one of Jupiters or Saturns moons!
@rustymotor maybe lizzard ppl live closer than you think m8 lol
I don't know your age, but at my age, 92, I was a child when international flight was not a thing, radios & TVs were not a thing, computers were not a thing, astronauts standing on the outer end of the Canada arm were beyond imagining, cell phones were not a thing and the great bands sound became the thing (singers were an option), this is a different world than the one I knew. It would be great if you could take the memory of all that change with you when you go.
This has been a wonderful series, and this one had importance that comes literally close to home. You've done general videos on many Mars and outer planet trips. How about some love for Mariner 10, MESSENGER and the incoming BepiColombo--and why we've sent so few things there, and what missions might land something there. A Venus show would be naturally populated with Venera stuff, so perhaps a Mercury/Venus show? Thanks again.
Very interesting noticed
The narrator is the same guy that does the Mass Effect codex entries. It has to be. Incredible voice!
Mate I knew it!
I knew I recognized that voice! It’s perfect for this kind of content.
Thank you so much for the documentaries you made! Amazing videos! JPL, you rock!
A huge thank you and deepest respect to the men and women who made this possible, and dared to dream it was even possible in the first place. It's a joy to watch.
UA-cam at it's very best!! This is very important science that can quite literally save all life on Earth!! Well done, JPL!!😮😊
This was a very informative video. It's nice to know there are teams of scientists working to keep Earth safe. Keep up the great work.
Humanity saving information and projects, every earthzen should watch and appreciate 👍👍👍👍👍
Such a fascinating subject.
I'll never stop being spellbound by the limitless variety and possibilities that are out there all around us
We love you JPL for the humanity you gave when the department of defense wouldn’t have any of that!!! Only results!!!!!
Had No Idea how much additional problem solving and logistical Kung Fu the JPL Laboratory had to solve aside from the "planned" mission parameters of these Spacecraft. Great Stories, Well presented ! 👍 👍
thank god there is JPL providing uns with the finest in space documentaries! This is so in depth, one could think u guys actually work on this stuff ;)
FINALLY!!! A video with people that KNOW what they are talking about!!!
I love listening to all of these lab stories. I'm so glad that the documentary's have been made. The year 2000 seemed like it was fine years ago.. But when i watch this footage of the engineers working in the lab in 2000, the footage looks like footage from the 70s lol.
I've absolutely loved watching these documentaries. I wish there was a soundtrack album!
Very impressive. Thanks JPL for all you do.
Awesome documentary, thanks a lot. It was fascinating, and the work done by JPL is so important.
Great with a Long video from JPL!!!💙❤️
I like to lean back and enjoy💯
Love the press conference featuring Don Yeomans hilarious “stand up comedy” style Info-banter. (at 21:30) - Now I’m curious to see a compilation. The best educators can make you laugh.
Truly amazing feats. I am mind-blown by the navigational chalenges alone. To be able to navigate so precisely at such huge distances borders on the miraculous.
It's all fake, grow up .
@@leeinwis it is not fake. Thousands of people saw the Rockets take off. As for growing up, real adults have no need to resort to insults so I guess that makes you a fake adult 😜
Thanks JPL, you guys are awesome
I love that you two connected I’ve been following both your channels. Excellent content.
Load's of respect to all these engineers who create these new technology's. Well done 👏👏👏✌🇬🇧👍
These documentaries are awesome!
You know, after allowing UA-cam to come up with suggestions for months and months - and me getting mostly DVD copied series' of semi factual content repeated, a Gleaming Gem appears like This here video!
I am an amateur Astronomer of 54 and this presentation from beginning to end and Fully Enjoyed this! Thank you JPL! Subbed!
Extremely well done! Thank you!
All things SPACE, I can never get enough of it.
I love the" x factor" and out of the box solutions jpl engineers create
AMAZING I just want more 🙂the effort these people put in should make us all take step back an acknowledge there work. Thank you
I love meteorites! I always add a meteorite when doing a synthesizer video demo! Meteorites ROCK!
Anyone recognize that voice? It's Neil Ross, the same guy who narrated all the Codex entries for the Mass Effect games.
Watching docs like this give me hope for humanity. If we have a purpose it is to learn everything we can about the miraculous universe we find ourselves living in
these ideas got some people stirred up - & I LOVED your production
10/10 another well produced very informative documentary well done :)
I love these episodes!! Thank you so much!
Neil Ross has to be the best narrator out there.
Well worth the wait. Keep these amazing documentaries coming!
Mass Effect narrator...one of the best voices.
Nowadays, I check the voice and pronunciation for an ai bot.
7:10 Hecklefish was right: LIZZID PEEPLE! I love that guy, watch him at The Why Files. That aside: This is a great movie, I love the comment, he sounds just like out of the fifties. And certainly the exitement when the mission works out. The Band was great, too!
This made my weekend, thank you for such a great production.
Fabulous program- thank you for sharing- all the hard work
Thank you for these excellent documentaries. They are very uplifting in these dark times and bring me hope ❤️
@atomsmurf, yes, I feel the same way. As Humanity seems to be ever more determined to destroy itself, to argue and bicker, jockey for position and, generally, destroy itself by such behavior and with wars and nuclear bombs, I find myself more and more drawn to these videos. They remind me of the mysteries of the universe and the miracle of Earth and all life upon it and, most likely, life elsewhere in the Universe. They give me a broader perspective on life, how blessed we are, how tenuous life is and remind me to be grateful for our incredible planet and for Life itself.
This is amazing. Thank you for this. It just shows what can be done when we decide to work together.
Thank you so very much for this - absolutely fantastic!
You had me at: "Join the hunt for space-rocks "🥰
Awesome documentary, this video made it easier for me to teach astronomy in senior high school class ❤
All these discoveries just wetted the appetites of a new breed of space entrepreneur, the space miner. They sense ungodly massive quantities of precious metals in those asteroids.
Thank you, JPL! I have learned SO much from this series. I continue to be amazed by the ingenuity, eh hem, of humankind. I can hardly wait for the videos on Opportunity, Perseverance, and our flying friend!
A good tradition would be to post historical films of the laboratory, there were many missions and about many things contemporaries do not know, and I love the history of astronautics and collect such films, Thanxxx
Having the same voice actor as the codex's in Mass Effect makes this so much more epic for me.
CGI is so good nowadays it is often hard to tell what is CGI and what is real footage. I think it would be a good idea for JPL to put a little CGI flag in the corner of the screen when we are watching CGI or REAL when we are watching real footage. The only UA-camr who does this that I know is Astrum. I think all documentary makers should do this, including JPL. I think it matters.
its all cgi. 100%
Wonderful production. Thank you JPL and NASA.
Our brightest minds doing the hardest jobs to give us the best result under the most extreme pressures possible , I bow my head to the members of JPL , you lot are simply the best , brightest and most capable .
Hey, thanks for putting this out. It was great!
Thank you for this documentary. Love this kind of documentaries. And Narrator sounded like Morgan Freeman too ( my favorite narrator ) 😊
I love your videos, please never stop making them
Thank You , excellent document
I just can't help but laugh like a kid every time someone mentions Uranus - this video went the extra mile and stated that "Uranus is an absolute mess compared to everything else in our solar system due to one large chaotic impaction" ........ This made me spit my tea out with childish laughter so thank you once again for making an old man smile lol. Long live Uranus
Me gustan mucho ver todos vuestros videos me gustaria poder escucharlos en Español no entiendo mucho el inglés algunas cosas pero si. Magníficos y muy emocionante ver tantos proyectos y inventos para poder navegar y explorar este enorme universo gracias por enviarme estos vídeos un saludo desde las islas Canarias Tenerife un saludo atentamente : Juan Manuel González Correa .
( Gracias de corazón )
Sometimes once in a while like when watching feel out. The one about the space rocks in the vicinity of people makes them feel their teeth click with their heartbeat beating inside. Was amazing! Thank you.
Good to hear the correct pronunciation of Uranus. People can’t really conceive how volatile our solar system is and how fragile but yet mere coincidence how life on earth has formed.
That giant Star Destroyer that launched out of Las Vegas in 2016 was an Ion propulsion craft that used Earth's atmosphere for initial propulsion, that jumped into hyperspace speeds leaving Earth. I was asked to join the flight, I rejected the offer.
The beauty of space rocks is that they have pure metals. No more digging up oxides to make metals. Free space, free energy and no gravity are profoundly important.
It’s getting closer to the day when we won’t need to worry so much.
I’m foaming at the mouth for mars sample return 🚀
Thanks for your efforts.
JPL Ill follow you till the end of the cosmos 🛸🧑🚀✨🖖☝️✨
I've not seen that crazy Halley intercept orbit before! Some awesome stuff! Gravity Voodoo specialists :)
Shoemaker-Levy-9 I saw it crash into Jupiter with my own Eyes through a Celestron C14. The bigger than earth explosion clouds.... awesome and a one in a lifetime event.
I saw comet Halley when i was a kid
@@Enzo-lp1uq I missed that. I wasn´t interested in astronomy back then, but perhaps.... if I get old enough next time when he comes around. ;)
@@Upuauta i was a kid and my aunt woke me up to come outside with her as no one wanted to come out..well i'm so thankful till this day for that night..and we live on Aruba so back then the light pollution was very low..it was amazing
Really I thought it was captured by Galileo as it was the opposite side of Jupiter to earth
@@Enzo-lp1uqthat will make you incredibly old
I love when people passionate at what they do
This is so fascinating I vaguely remember something on t.v
1977 - humans used the very best of what we had that time, and we succeeded. Congratulations to you NASA Tess
Really great show. Thank you.
Great documentary. Amazing detail of all the major asteroid missions. My only critique was with the comment ≈ 1:45:00 when they state a spacecraft isn’t available to respond in time. We should have one by now with the cooperation of SpaceX. Their ability to launch within a few days should provide the launch capability. We just need to have the spacecraft capable of reaching the asteroid with the ordinance.
Ha! The Shoemakers. I think she was also the one who started making a 3d map of the stars using the images they had collected over the years. Great contributors to science.
This channel is incredible I'm so glad I found it. So much pseudo science nonsense out there now that the algorithm pushes instead of good content like this.
Its good to see amy back on u/tube doc,s
Wow, super-hyper interesting, great document!
Very knowledgeable, Thank you!
Great admin!
Can't wait to see what these guys do with Pulse detonation engines.
This should be on Netflix and other streaming services... Amazing videos!
Thank you so much for your reference to the tremendously good achieved assignments you lit off! Shoemaker -Levy9 pearls, stardust, Deep space 1, Deep Impact on temperamental comet Temple 1 It is so good to know about the hardships and feat of astronomy.❤
Funny the one guy who had never heard of ion drive for space travel so far into his professional work. This had been discussed in pretty clear detail about 10 years before STAR TREK on a Disney special, MARS AND BEYOND,whose advisor had been Dr. Von Braun. I learned about it as a kid from that show, and thru the drawings of it in a comic book version of that show that came out around the same time. Maybe STAR TREK powers that be got the idea from that same show?
Hats off to JPL
This narrator sounds like Neil Ross, either way I love that who ever this is narrates most of the shows on the Nasa channel as well.
So the planet is growing slowly! Takes eons and millions of years!
Personally I think it’s really impressive that NEAR survived for an extra fortnight on Eros.
Maybe I misunderstood, but @10:38, you cannot decelerate with a solar wind sail/panel. There's no friction in space. When you go, you go. Only a opposite energy force can slow you down. (Like he just said before this @10:33).
Amazing video!
I can not say I having liked everything I have seen, but quite watchable.
If directed heat expansion really allowed a contaminate particle to exit the craft to fix a critical system's circuit..😮.. JPL folks are on level 10/10.
In 1905, an incident called the Tunguska event occurred in Siberia. This event was caused by a small part of Comet Enki that exploded in the air, approximately 5 miles above a mostly empty forest. The explosion had a massive impact of 15 megatons and leveled the forest, including Reindeer herd. If a similar event were to occur, arising from the Taurids, came at Earth from around the back of the Sun, with an impact over Canada, on the same parallel as Siberia, what could happen? It would leave little time to act and mean catastrophe in Canada. Just 1 scenario.
