I love these old sci-fi movies! I was born wayyy back in '63, as the youngin's would say. I reckon these old movies take me back to my childhood. I enjoy them so much.
It's a movie I saw as a little boy. / today 72 years old/ The author of the book is Stanislav Lem, the novel was called "silent star" The rocket was called "Kosmokrator" As 10 year old boys we experienced it. Today it's ridiculous.
No, it's not!☝️ These films are timeless classics and Lem is a brilliant author. Of course, you can't land on Venus because the temperatures don't allow it and we're not yet capable of such long journeys, but the atmosphere in this classic is basically just right.
Both you and I have lived through magnificent advances in mankind's knowledge but yet today we see ignorance and disbelief. Remember when Sputnik chirped and frightened the world. Saturn 5 launching Eagle to the moon showing earth in its magnificence but some people believe the world is flat and take for granted the machinery that makes up our world. Not ridiculous but thought provoking. I remind you of the film " Things to come " And "Pale blue dot " Carl Sagen . Best wishes
@WOFFY-qc9te You're right. We cheered for Sputnik, for example, but it didn't occur to us that a bomb could have flown instead. We believed in truly conquering the planets. I happened to see the moon landing in 1969 at a radio amateur in the former Yugoslavia - at night he turned the antennas to the moon, tuned the frequencies and we watched directly on the black and white TV, how Arnold was jumping around the stones... there were about 30 of us sitting there and we were staring, excited...., Here in Europe, human stupidity generally reigns. I lived in East Germany 1961-1963, went to a Russian school, I know German and I follow these countries, I feel sorry for them. I am in the Czech Republic, it is quite calm here. But next door in the Slovak Republic there are really people who believe in a flat earth. There is speculation throughout Europe about the moon landing that it was filmed by Hollywood. The arriving migrants are very simple, they do not know geography or history, they do not understand that there was some kind of World War II, Hiroshima, they do not care. Children in kindergartens and schools /Arab/ are taught that Islam won over the whole world with the fall of the NY Twin Towers on 9/11....Maybe our young generation doesn't know that in 1968 Russian tanks attacked Prague and there was a junta here for 40 years. They don't care........ Have a nice day. Ps: I have some writings by S. Lem and I like to read them - he also wrote plays, it's nice - Planet Eden, Futurological Congress, Expeditions of Prof. Tarantoga... I have downloaded Space Odyssey and somehow it seems tedious to me today. If you want to contact me, I'm on FB in English because of my wife's US relatives... I'm standing in front of a blue Impreza.. I'd like to hear a different opinion. Odeslat zpětnou vazbu Postranní panely Historie Uloženo

Not bad, especially when we now know that if you set foot on Venus you'd be squashed and baked very quickly probably wouldn't survive 15 seconds., I would like to know why all lie spaceships from this era look like recycled V2s. And they managed to squeeze in the obligatory meteor shower with meteors . Rocks that size would tear the ship apart, and the computerized assistant goes crazy at the end; did they miss anything else? I saw this movie in a theatre sometime in the mid-sixties we got a kick out of it back then.
It was for a short while then personal ambition turned visionaries into dictators and we are where we are now. It happens every fifty years when mankind feels the need to destroy. If history is anything to go by the next ten years will not be good for millions and any chance of healing our planet will be lost by those countries which don't give a stuff for anyone other than themselves. China.
I am old enough to remember pre-Mariner 2. Mariner 2 was the first space probe to reach another planet--Venus in December 1962. Before that, the only things known about the planets other than Earth was what could be determined by observations from Earth. These indicated Venus was a little closer to the Sun than Earth, that it was about the same size as Earth, and that its surface was shrouded in clouds. For these reasons, it was believed the conditions on Venus might, of all the planets, come closest to the conditions on Earth. As a result, scientific interest was focused on exploring and perhaps sending humans to Venus. These hopes were dashed when in December 1962 Mariner 2 determined that the surface temperature of Venus was around 900 degrees F. Thereafter, scientific interest, as far as the planets were concerned, turned mostly to Mars. Besides this movie, another illustration of the pre-Mariner 2 belief about Venus is the 1959 Three Stooges movie "Have Rocket, Will Travel." In it, Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe accidentally journey to Venus and find the conditions there much like they are on Earth. There is also a pre-Mariner 2 Sea Hunt episode about the recovery of a space probe to Venus that assumed conditions there were similar to those on Earth.
??? After all its a Polish-East Germany film "Milcząca gwiazda" - "A Silent Star", made in 1959. Based on the first nowel by Stanisław Lem "Astronauci"
No, they were put into artificially induced sleep so they all would be well rested before the start. In case if some of them were too nervous too sleep naturally.
The movie is called „ Der schweigende Stern“ from 1959 communist germany. Its a multicultural propaganda-movie directed by the german communist Kurt Maetzig.
But indeed based on book of polish writer Stanislaw Lem. Which cointain some elements of communist propaganda, but otherwise is also nice piece of s-f. Somehow movie found its way to US, where many fragments from beginning was deleted, so people could not see directly it was produced in Easter Block.
Perhaps a little allowance for the time period , but I understand your frustration . There is a whole universe of films like this that were around at this time , and indeed earlier than this example . So you have to accept that the good the bad and indeed the ugly will inevitably be amongst the mix . So it would obviously be realistic to assume a parentage of such films will fall into the category that you have described . It would interesting to know what you think of the film , Things to come or indeed Metropolis . I trust you would not wish to dismiss them out of hand , these pioneers of the science fiction genre. Kind regards to your good self
Then all is well my friend , and may you continue to give your honest opinions to all that is before you . Kind regards from an old and somewhat frail , protagonist 😀👍👍👍

We now recognize the extreme hostility of Venus, as the longest a probe has survived is around two hours.
godblessamerica7048
And that was a heavily armored very well constructed probe at that
@@godblessamerica7048 yes although the rings around Uranus can be quite problematic😂

Same!!!! Built the Kosmokrator several years ago. Dont know if its still available.
Wow, a movie without back stabbing.
My life isn't long enough for me to sit through this.
Very. Good. Classic. Space. Movie. 🎉🎉🎉😉👌

Sad how they expected international cooperation to be the norm in the future!

If you like these old scifi there is a book called "Keep Watching the Skies". Its about 1950's scifi.
Ive reread it several times.
We had a Kosmokrator once, it was very heavy on petrol, lol.
very good......lol
AI robot in 1960 not to shabby
@@INAL-s9d and it was vacuum tube powered too!😝
And I bet it never said “I’m sorry, I can’t help you with that right now” like my little device at home …
That scene is what brought me to the comments! I was rather amazed that robot was that good from 1960!
Yo tengo esta película de colección en DVD, megusta☝️
Hola lastima que no estan traducidas en español
Es una oportunidad a aprender ingles. Si?

I had same feeling, 1961, maybe?
Cunning linguistics
