In the video I say the RTG’s used plutonium 239. Actually, they use plutonium 238. Some viewers mentioned that Pluto was still considered a planet in 1983. That is true, but between 1979 and 1999 Pluto was inside the orbit of Neptune, so Neptune was still the outermost planet.
I caught that! Hey! I might be smart, lol.
I was also thinking about the book "The Martian" and, the use of the power plant as an alternate heat source... But, that's not History... yet?
Pluto is still a planet in my book.
WHISKEY X-RAY 448 don't worry... You'll grow up one day.
+WHISKEY X-RAY 448 - Fun fact: Using the definition that excludes Pluto as a planet, Jupiter and Earth are not planets either. But the Moon is. Go figure.
The Pluto orbit threw me off for a minute! I wish I was alive for the realization that certain objects in space were outside the milky way. What an amazing feeling that must have been.
This was wonderful. Thank you. My Dad Robert (Skip) Nunamaker was one of the engineers that worked daily with Charlie Hall. I was able to watch the 1st pictures come in with Dr. Van Allen. My Dad was on most of those Pioneer & Voyager projects at NASA/AMES. It was such an interesting time in history.
wow! id love to hear anecdotes from your dad about designing these spacecraft!

Thank you for this. I have debated with many that Pioneer 10 was the first man-made device to exit the solar system. I saw the report on the news in '83 when it was announced. But, every space travel enthusiast I talk to keeps trumpeting the achievements of the Voyagers. This little spacecraft needs more recognition.
That depends on definition- as Voyager was faster and was the first to cross the heliosphere, while Pioneer 10 was the first to pass the orbit of the outer planets. When you heard that announcement in 1983, we didn't yet know where the heliosphere ended. But, there likely would not have been a Voyager program without the Pioneer program, and Pioneer really did blaze the way. It deserves to be remembered.

I knew I was probably going to like this, but "the little probe that could wasn't finished yet" made me hit that button right away.
Sir, your history lessons are out of this world!
Excellent story, HG! Thanks for reminding us of these achievements. You're providing a valuable service to us all!
Thanks for this video. In the 1970's I worked for the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Lab which was involved in analyzing data from Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11.
Awesome!
Having personally watched its launch in Titusville, I can't believe that so much time has passed.
I was 10 years old and on a family vacation to Orlando when it launched. After dinner started driving East toward the Cape. We pulled off the road and watched to fly off. It was exciting being a kid at that time.
Made back when NASA's "CAN DO" meant 'WILL DO". As a child I sat diligently through all of the Mercury and Apollo missions - most were broadcast in the schools - we just don't have that kind of involvement anymore - space shots go largely ignored. Bob Seger was right.... "Back in '65, we were makin' Thunderbirds"
Thunderbirds are GO!
Moby Dick is a classic but it resonated more with readers in an era where common household items were made of whalebone, lamps were lit and machines ran on whale oil. As a child I saw on TV a pencil thin missile and at the pencil tip was a man named John Glenn who was the first American into orbit. Milton didn’t resonate with me the way Asimov, Clark and Heinlein did; my era wasn’t whaling ships, it was rocket ships, TV and transistor radios. The movie _The Wrath of Khan_ brought science fiction full circle back to Milton.
Its an acronym for "NEVER A STRAIGHT ANSWER"
Pioneer 11 launched the month I was born. Growing up we were told we would be on Mars by now. Strap me to a rocket I'm ready to go.
If we were still as interested in space as we were during 1960s
I think we would be in mars by now..
They just don't give as much fucks as they did before
I was raised mostly in the 90's...i remember reading a childrens book printed in the 60's that definitively stated that by the year 2000, all our vehicles would be flying cars. That's kinda laughable now. Wish I could remember the name of that book....
If we ever manage to master faster than light travel i hope we go and collect as many of our long lost probes we sent out as we can. They deserve to be in a museum!
You make history interesting and fun my friend. Great job
I have to say it gives me hope for humanity when I see people so insatiably curious of the world around them in general and history in particular. It's a fascinating rock we live on and by better understanding the journeys others have taken before us we can better understand our own. Thank you Mr History Guy.
Brett DeLong It's So sad that kids can drop history at thirteen in schools in the UK if we forget the past there's a good chance we will make the same mistakes in the future.
I was a kid when Voyager 1 was launched, an event that began my lifelong fascination with space exploration. A couple of years after that launch I learned of Pioneer 10 and 11 and was almost equally amazed by them, reading up on their explorations.
That whole era was an incredible time for scientific discovery. You can't think about how impressive (and ambitious!) the whole set of space probes were and not be in awe. It is only more stunning when you consider what we have been able to learn from them. The cumulative knowledge acquired is just staggering.
True, the sad part is the 50 years we chose not to return to the Moon because we couldn't scrape up the cash. Sad isn't it? The cost of one B2 bomber would have put a couple men on the Moon.
Love History. Love Space. Love Space History. Love this video. Thank you.
Your enthusiasm and love for your subjects is a joy to see. Watching your viseos always puts me in a good mood. Thank you for making the world a liftle brighter.
Very good. I grew up during that time, and was absolutely amazed at this, as well as the Mariner probes. They were amazing devices that were ahead of their time, or rather, ahead of my expectations at the time.
+ george martin - I agree, and don't forget the Vikings to Mars.
What the intro music
Dead Frt West
:
Yes it was on my mind; I bothered every NASA base in the US for any and all information regarding every mission, and wound up with hundreds of pounds of documents that included all the Viking Mission reports and plans for the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle documents included parts lists for every component. If I had had a few billion dollars laying around, I guess I could have built one. My dad was not happy with a stack of documents the size of a phone booth showing up.......
george martin Did those Mars documents include Dr. Richard C. Hoagland's infamous "face"?
Dale:
No, but later research, conducted by the Weekly World News, concluded that the face on the planet Mars was, in fact, the face of Pee-Wee Herman.
Very interesting. I wish we still had a space program like we did in the late 1960’s.
We'll need an another cold war for the "space race" program to exist.
Harry Lui or a energy, existential, and/or financial reason
What are you on about? Ever heard of the Gaia telescope, Juno, Cassini-Huygens, Curiosity, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and the other space agencies in Russia, Europe, China, Japan, and India; not to mention private companies like Space X, Blue Origin, and Boeing? Should I go on?
@@libertyresearch-iu4fy he means the amount and equivalent spending and size of budget that we had in the 60's such as the Saturn V's and etc.
@@harrylui309 Actually no, we need people that can understand, dream, and realize what a good space program will do for us.
Incredible! I had no idea. Thank you HG! You continue to inform and entertain!
I love the Tech history. Like most little kids in the 60’s, I ate this stuff up. We all thought we’d be living on Jupiter by now. At least Pioneer and Voyager got to make it out into the Galaxy.
Thanks H.G.!!!
Came here after watching your video about Laika and her "siblings". My son is currently working on his Space Exploration merit badge. One of the requirements is to create a trading card about a space pioneer. We figured that Laika would be a good choice, and of course searching for space pioneer brought us to this video as well.
Keep up the good work. We enjoy every one of your videos.
Thank you for your marvelous channel. I well remember the stellar achievements of the Pioneer probes, and I think the accomplishments of our space program, are the best reason to feel proud of my country.
Absolutely delightful!!!! I knew some about Pioneer 10, such as all of "firsts" but the how it did so was wonderful to hear about. I grew up watching Space Shuttle launches and space has always facinated me. Thank you so much for a true gem of space history.
THG is the absolute BEST history channel on the inter-Tube and You-net as well. It's amazing how his narratives appeal to both history neophytes and grizzled veterans as well.
Very well presented video of the Pioneer 10 mission. Lots of memories.
Thank you for this! I'd certainly like to see more content from you about the history of space exploration!
I am so excited that you did a space history video!!! I love this channel and I love space, and I hope you get to explore the history of some more missions in the future! As we are in the midst of a turning point in our space exploration goals, we could all benefit from remembering some space history. Thanks again, this channel rocks!

The projects carried out by early NASA missions are often underappreciated.Amazing simple vehicles made possible by visionary engineering made the foundation of the missions that followed and showed us what was possible.
Well, to be fair, the early Pioneer models mostly blew up.
I've heard it said that rocket science is difficult :) The steep learning curve and heavy costs paid have been well worth the effort in the long term. The Pioneer program gave rockets a rational and meaningful task beyond simply delivering civilization ending destruction.
Not to mention the amazing hardware built by TRW.
I was an Apollo era kid. Things were very different then. There was a sense of optimism, a feeling that we were rushing head-long into the future & it was going to be glorious. I watched with rapt attention all the Apollo launches & moon landings; Skylab then Apollo-Soyuz. I watched the first Space Shuttle launch from my college dorm. I remember well the launches of the Pioneers, the Vikings the Voyagers. I adore space history. To this day I can get wide-eyed just imagining what it's like out there where those little probes are. This was one of my favorite videos. Thanks H.G.!
Your excitement of the topics at hand is contagious. Thank you for making these wonderful videos.
Erik Bergaust, mentioned at 5:32, was a friend of mine; I'd met him in 1970 when I was still a teenager. His last name is pronounced "b'rg-AUST". I remember discussing the Pioneers and about every OTHER unclassified space system with him. I'm glad he's remembered.
I've watched this several times now and still get moist eyes of pride. Thanks to how THG relates History to us.
love your history shorts. That was a real good one on pioneer 10. do more on space things if they come up. Thanks again
Gerald Enders yesssss
Besides "History Deserves to Be Remembered", I really love your enthusiasm! Thanks!
I am amazed by pioneer 10; thank you History Guy! All the focus on Voyager overshadowed the extremely significant and pioneering work of the pioneer series, especially 10 that kept on going! 🌌
I love your clips! For someone with varied tastes, you always rekindle that curiosity in me! Thanx!
Fascinating!!!! I did not know this. Thank you.
When you see all the great comments inspired by your video, you know you've done your job & done it well. Excellent work - as always.
I was in high school when Pioneer was launched...we followed it very closely and I've always had a special feeling for it...always keeping up with it's progress, etc...as well as the Voyagers, as I was in college when they were launched.
The little pioneer that could!
Keep up the good work! :)
I was 6 when the first Apollo missions lifted off, and in high school when the first a-m-a-z-i-n-g images of Jupiter came back from Voyager 1. I am so grateful for this retrospective of those pioneering probes. Thanks so much for doing this. Your videos should be shown in high schools, on a CRT with a VHS video recorder on the lower shelf. You know, for historical accuracy.
Your enthusiasm for the special topics that you love so much is just so contagious!! I love it! ♥
I love space history. And I remember that launch. Plucky is an excellent adjective for the Pioneer 10. I was just a boy when it was launched on its way. I'm 56 now & still marvel that man-made objects are even now hurtling into deep space. Incredible. Great video!
You have one of the BEST channels on the web. I so enjoy everyone of your contributions , Thank you.
People who think that the moon landings were faked often say we didn't have the technology back then. This , the sr71, the x15, and a myriad of other items show what the technology of the lime could accomplish. I was in college at the time and started with a slide rule and finished with a scientific calculator. I remember using Fortran to solve differential equations and numerical integration on minivan computers. Your mention of the Dec pdp11 reminded me of my assembly language programming on a DEC machine. Thanks for this video , it brought back some good memories and reminded me of one of nasa best programs.
Wonderful! It's been flying through most of my working life. If they ever need someone who can remember how to program a PDP11, that was my first job back in 1973, and I've still got a set of the manuals.
"...it deserves to be remembered..."
And thanks to you it will be.
What an amazing little craft! Like many people, I know more about the Voyager probes, so it's great to see Pioneer 10 get the limelight for a change. I'd love to see more space-themed history on your channel!
Sweet video. thank you for the work you do.
Thank you, fascinating and very interesting as usual
You’d think we would have more respect for all that these ‘forgotten’ missions have given us. They and the people who worked on an with them deserve every bit of respect they get. Thanks so much for bringing attention to these awesome modern mariners!
What a great story and you tell it so well. Thank you for these wonderful snippets of forgotten history.
As ever a Fantastic presentation! First thing that stood out was the total absence of dust protection in the early build room's!
Outstanding, and riveting story. Glad to know about this chapter of our space program. Thank you!
Thank you for another great snippet of history. I had almost completely forgotten about the pioneer program since the voyager program has been in the news several times in just the last couple of years.
what continues to amaze me is your subjects. I feel You could be history worth remembering. Seriously. where do you come up with all these ideas.... so many viewers are interested in how you research, and your style of presenting.... please consider this idea.... you Are a Fantastic Teacher.... Definitely worth Remembering 🙏🏼
Thank you for this. As a kid I loved the Pioneer 10 and 11 fly-by's. And although the imagery returned by the Voyagers was stunning, I always felt sorry that their legacy completely drowns out the Pioneer's.

@@bodan1196 it's worse than that he's dead Jim lol.
Growing up in the 60's it seemed like there were no boundaries to what the USA could do..Even with the Vietnam protest in our town it was a wondrous time..One thing that always stayed with me was seeing Big Muskie work moving the hills of Ohio..Our school ag class would tour with the objective to see the conservation measures taken after the mining..The connection of Big Muskie to the shuttle transporter comes to mind
That made me geek out, and my heart was in my throat, to learn of such tech and the amazing journey we enjoyed from Pioneer 10! A name of more than audio equipment for a car.
"The Little Probe that Could" - LOVE it! :) Thanks for covering something a little different. I felt like I was watching a quick video at the science center!
Man, I hope that statement is never applied to aliens... sooo never moving to Roswell.
Thanks HG! Really love your videos.
You, sir, have earned a subscriber. My first video from you was the one about the plane ditching in the Pacific. Then there were the ones about USS Pennsylvania and the Texas platforms and the Dale and the Princeton incident. Now this one about Pioneer 10. I also like how you make quick corrections.
Nicely done!
Excellent post our young viewers should watch. Thank you History Guy. How does it feel to make some many excellent posts. Best of UA-cam by far. Great delivery and thought provoking info.
From d day to Bonaparte to NASA in a little less than half an hour love this channel
Love this story, still have the 2002 web capture of the last signals received from Pioneer 10.
Just found your channel yesterday. I’m addicted pretty bad already. Great videos. Listening for hours at a time. Thanks
One of the four vehicles (It's been a long time to remember which) that was headed for deep space had a microchip (?) on it that would carry the names of whoever submitted their names to NASA. We did so. Somewhere beyond our solar system out there in deep space are the names of myself, my wife, my daughter and our dog Corky along with thousands of other names. Now that is an elite international club. We're Canadian.
I'm pretty sure that was the New Horizons probe that explored Pluto during a flyby.
Pioneer indeed. Beautifully done retrospective.
Another amazing video. Thank you
Pioneer 10 rocks!! I love it
Ditto!!!!!!!
Thank you I really enjoyed listening to this episode.
Another great video!
Thanks. History in space is now my favorite of your subjects.
Thanks for the story. ...I'm about 3/4 through your entire catalog of uploads. I think you've got the first channel I've unintentionally watched every upload from over the course of a month or two. I've watched a few "everything playlists" on some good channels before, but in this instance YT has consistently kept your content high on my feed in the evenings. That's actually a bit unusual because I watch such mixed stuff from highly technical during the day to educational entertainment in the evening. Most of the time my feed is irrelevant. Why mention it? It stands out as different than what I see on here daily. In my opinion that indicates YT is really promoting your content well. I have a *lot* of subscriptions and watch way more than I care to upload some hobby project stuff (my subs are publicly listed too if anyone sees this and is looking for new and interesting CC's outside of the YT social circles you may be restricted to :)
Anyways... I've never seen one channel promoted this much. Keep it up ;)
-Jake
I agree bro😉👍.. it's awesome!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
My dad (now deceased) worked on a predecessor Pioneer when he worked at TRW in the late 1950s.
I will be watching this one again... This one is my no.2 after the Army Transport Ship/Boats...
Combination of my 2 favourite hobbies. Astronomy & history!!
Carl Sagan's wife at the time, Linda, did the artwork for the Pioneer plaques. Two of the program leaders spitball an idea, one's wife does the artwork, and production - while mildly impressive - is a fait accompli and in the press in no time.
Same thing today would require several committees, at least 3 contract subtask statements, and more negative press than I care to think about.
I was thinking to myself how the plaque today would require being larger than the probe as it would mean somehow to display all the nuanced differences of the species....and then an explanation as to how there really are 'no differences', lol
J H but if I’m not mistaken, didn’t that plaque have some controversy at the time as being explicit? For some reason I think I heard that sometime.
@@jaredcrotty251 It had. Some idiot senator or congress-man named it 'smut'. It caused enough of a stir that the golden records on the Voyagers carries no images of nude humans. Idiocy once more prevailed over common sense.
LarS1963 lol so basically... politics.... oh, how things never change. Thanks for clarifying, I appreciate you taking the time to reply.
@@jaredcrotty251 You're welcome. :)
Thank you for doing such a great job. You should create digests (collections of similar videos) and put them out as documentaries on Curiosity Stream.
Please do more like this. Fascinating.
Wow that takes me back....
Well done as usual.
Amazing video! I love space and I really love learning new things. Keep up the good work buddy
My earliest childhood memory is of the moon landing in 1969 and after that the advances in space exploration captivated humankind for the next decade or so. Everything was a new leap forward and a new milestone. I can remember the drama of the launches of these craft. Months later we would watch the images unfolding, line by line, on the evening news and it was exhilarating to witness. Certainly among our proudest moments as a species.
Such a wonderful channel and this was an especially good episode. Thank you!
Voyager 1 & 2 and Pioneer 10 & 11 may one day be the only physical evidence that humans ever existed
Nah..I don't believe that at all. We will be going to Mars soon, need to get back to the Moon, and establish bases and 'outposts', learn how to survive there and eventually ( hopefully sooner than later ), have people that are born & raised there and develop a working and sustainable civilization. This will happen. I just hope that at my age, 66, that I will live to see some sort of permanent settlement on either the Moon; which makes more sense because it's closer, or Mars.
ummm...when the sun reaches the end of it's life it will vaporise earth and mars. But I also think we will get to mars - and beyond our solar system...hence my use of the word "may".
By the time the sun reaches the end of its life, there's little chance humans wouldn't have evolved (if not killing ourselves beforehand). While these satellites won't deteriorate in space, there's always a very slim chance they may collide with something (or an example of Star Trek 5, be target practice for a Klingon bird of prey). Nothing is permanent in the scheme of things.
You don't want to be born on the moon. Also the martians might wan't to raise their kids on earth as well although I'm sure it's not as dangerous to grow up there as on the moon. Remember we are built for 1 G. Growing up on places with far less gravity can probably wreak havoc on or bodies. At the very least we should try with another bipedal species first.
Don't forget about the New Horizon's Probe either ;)
Hi from France, I love Astronomy and History, you did a great job here. I'm subscribing to your channel.
I'm kind of a space program buff, but I didn't know all the details of that story. That was incredible!
Most entertaining and instructional as ever.
That’s truly phenomenal… History of some the best stuff we have thank you for your work!!
I am currently binge watching your channel, this is extremely well put together and researched. I love how excited you are about each subject. Keep the content coming. You are awesome.
As always extremely informative, accurate and amazingly interesting. Thank you 👍🤓
I really enjoy your videos but this one in particular was even more fun to watch. I’m familiar with the Voyager missions but was completely unaware of the Pioneer missions and thanks to you I’m happy to know about the sensational Pioneer 10! :)
A great success story. It did not receive the coverage from the media which it deserved. For future projects to continue, the public should be made aware of such a good use of funding.
Another excellent video. I wholeheartedly endorse any discussion of our space program. Particularly the early years.
Also, I commend you on the Panzerkampfwagen IV model on your shelf.
MarineTech 1/32. :)
I have a 1/35 Panther on my own shelf, but the Panzer IV was the backbone of the German armored units.
My Panther is 1/72.
Well done. Another informative AND entertaining episode.
