This came on while I was sleeping and gave me crazy dreams of being in space.

Man, this is what Discovery channel should be. Love it, watched this one several times now!

For those of you saying this is old news......my grandson and I watch things like this wonderful program together It is NOT irrelevant!!!!!!! He is 6 well almost 7 years old and he sucks this stuff up like a sponge. He is smarter than most commenters I've read....well he's smarter than me. Thank the stars there's programs like this I'm having a hard time staying ahead of him. Keep it up guys!!!!!!!

Everyone looks up in wonder to the near miraculous achievements made by these incredibly brave and dedicated individuals. People of Space, we salute you!

hi everyone out there! who else is waiting?

I wish humanity could come together in science more like this.

So glad Zenith mentioned the Artemis unmanned lunar orbital test. Very timely. Well done~!!

This is an amazing series. Thankyou for all the awesome information

From discovering the flaw to the proposal on how to correct that, was amazing in it's self. Fulfilling that endeavor, was even more amazing. Great job.

I used to live in Daytona Beach, Flordia, USA, which is near Cape Canaveral. Watching a rocket liftoff is one of the most memorable experiences in my life. I don't believe it's just the flames. There is something magical about it.

Marvelous compilation! A complete education on the evolution of mankind's communication. Truly, if the world came together, there is almost nothing that we can't do. I love all who have shown us the way. I doff my hat off to you!

To who ever needs to hear this you are strong powerful and worth life dont give up

Pretty good space-geek fluff for Sunday afternoon household chores. 🙂

I love these Spark docs on spaceflight history. This content sets a standard few others reach.

In watching this the brain power it takes to create all this by all the scientists, designers, manufacturing it’s just it’s just it just mind boggling

Thanks for wonderful content ❤️

A very nice compilation. Entertaining and informative.

4:18 the footage is from STS-114 in 2005, not STS-31 in 1990!

What a gem of a documentary 👍👍👍

Excellent, interesting, thorough and engaging 2019 documentary on the technology and science of space exploration since the 1950's!

I can't believe I watched all 2 & a half hours non stop.. 🏆🏆🏆 more please, I want more...👏👏👏👏 From narrator's voice 🏆 to size of clips & questions answered. 👍😉👍 On a more Serious note ; More Please 🙏

This is one of the best space documentaries I have ever seen, interesting, intelligent but without reverting to language of the lowest common denominator. I'm 54, high IQ, and have been reading about the space programme for 48 years I reckon, yet I still learned a lot from it.

Astronaut's got to be brave just knowing you might die just going into space.

I'm an old US Coast Guard veteran and thought I must be getting hard of hearing; when I heard that the total air volume for ISA was equal to a 5-bedroom home??? had to check the closed caption CC to be sure...my hearing is not too bad, I just found that too hard to believe all that Space Station is such a small internal volume? my best guess is that all the stuff crammed in there; life support, experiments, lots of avionics-type gear, and the best Space Suits...displaces the non-gaseous portion of all those modules. loved the documentary top-notch, show it to kids at school a few aerospace engineers might arise...

People so quickly forget that so many things Hubble achieved would not have been possible without the Space Shuttle. A craft like the shuttle is invaluable for space exploration.

Wow, well done. I like how you explained how Hubble orients itself without rockets.

Can we address how insane it is to just have telescope orbiting around and a little human shot up in a rocket as a job is pretty awesome

This is blowing my mind been looking for something like this for a while. thank you.

Future technology is my future.

What a great comprehensive video all about space and launches.

So well done it ended in a cliff hanger too. Leaving you wishing to see more!

Very comprehensive and interesting doc. Good music too...

Pretty crazy how many people died through the Apollo missions and they’re very easily forgotten

Awesome docu series and even more awesome that a lot of it is already out dated!

Very interesting behind the scenes footage from the 60’s and subsequent decades. Very well produced 👏🏻

Amazing how much of this has changed in the last 6 months.

just in time to put it on tv while sleeping ❤

This Will Never Get Old, Been Watching All My Life. Great Work Humanity. U.K

In spring 2022 there was a story that SpaceX and NASA were kicking around ideas for another Hubble service mission. It seems like it would be cheaper to service the Hubble than to design, build, test and launch a telescope of similar capabilities. Yes the James Webb is better but telescope time is hard to get and it seems there are still plenty of things it could help aide in research - like what if it was dedicated to finding near earth objects?

it's mind blowing how they made the cooler on Webb space telescope, when knowing that at 0 degrees kelvin, any electrical component cannot function. As he stated, James Webbs cooler remains working under 7 degrees Kelvin.

Damn good stuff

When Hubble first fixed the earth team ...wow what a moment.. The BGM keep ringing 😀

Per the Ursa Major galaxies, some 110 million light years from Earth, a reminder of the impossible distances. A technologically advanced lifeform out there might be among those galaxies, in which case we're not likely to ever have contact with any. Time dilation making it absolutely impossible.

Thanks for the great documentary

Amazing documentary 👏 Well done👌

I look forward to seeing Hubble in a museum one day when Starship brings it back. Same for the Mars rovers.

This has been a huge topis in regards to Star Link interrupting deep space observatories. But what is never said by sceptics is that there are gaps in the constellation of SL for observatories to do their jobs, and the small size of the SL will only slightly hinder any observation, along with 180 (down and up), links for any threat. If it would've been a major issue, the FCC, and FAA would have not allowed it to proceed. Star Link is fine the way it already is, and the progress that it is making , helping millions of people. On the other hand, Amazons Kuiper is a hot mess. Its like "who has the bigger one," when they cant even get New Glen in test phase. Sometimes you just have to leave well enough alone. Thanks for another great episode. - NOM

Lovely video. Absolutely amazing look back on space exploration history!

21:59 "Did you try turning it f and on again?"

Danke!

Great video very informative on the past. present, and hopefully future space exploration. Well at least Space X will be flying even if NASA is grounded.

Excellent, long history, with lots of details that are not widely known.

Good history , love it ❤️

Wow 😮

1:43:40 1st time ive seen inside russia's Soyuz rocket Facility's always thought A railway carrier system be easier than SpaceX or NASA,s transporters Dam what a rocket 5x 20 engines faster to auto dock on iss etc .

How refreshing to see a space documentary that; uses voiceover talent that doesn't sound like that of an action movie trailer; uses the correct pronunciation for "Uranus" and "laboratory", and recognises that there are space agencies other than NASA and "the Soviets" (to which they're invariably referred).

Nice work, thank you guys for an excellent video!

Space x should be contracted, once starship is approved they should uprgade Hubble and push it into stable orbit, eventually when technology is advanced enough for us to service through robots push it even further out and have robot present with the telescope so that all it’s needed is someone to link to it and manually control it and service periodically our precious eye in the sky , we need advance observatory outer space to detect any incoming threats to earth …

This is an amazing documentary thank you

Knowledge and science have no limits and no time since the existence of man on earth, and he continues to explore, question, and learn until the end of time.

Thanks for this awesome info

Absolutely astonishing! These machines push the boundaries of possibility.

It's a year now and I still want to watch it more than 1 time

Hopefully the SLS will fly eventually 🫤 They ever figure out how that hole got made in that Soyuz capsule on the ISS?

Awesome stuff Tyler. 👍👊

Spacelab? Dont you mean Rocketlab?

Greatest documentary! I have one concern. How to clean or capture all the large and dangerous space debris from old unserviceable satellites? This will be a challenge and a huge business too. Robotic large cargo and capture space devices wiith new cheaper technology will be a routine activity for safer space travelling by the end of this century.

King premier.🤗

woke up to the international space station! what a journey!

Blows me away what humans have achieved on this planet before I was even born.

Amazing technological advancement in space exploration shown here! I’m slightly shocked, however, of the amount of space debris which has been left behind. We will need to figure out a way of cleaning this up or I’m sure it will bite us in the butt one day in the future.

great video.

There's a LOT of people behind the scenes that did some fantastic work to help make all this possible. From electronics to plumbing, seamstresses and so many more. I can only imagine all the hard work just making their suits. My hat is off to all the great folks involved. I am also very proud of Elon Musk for bringing us back into space in a much more advanced and affordable way. The technologies we have now are superior to what NASA had back when they started. If more people had his back, we would likely have a moon base by now and be working on getting to Mars.

Fantastic documentary!

Nice art man! Goodluck❤❤❤

круто за 2 часа как фильм очень интересно

thank you so much

57:54 chilling in space with the boizz

EXCELLENT VIDEO GOSHIA!

Spark is Such a Great Way for Even the Non Scientist to Understand the Universe & Technologies Which Help Us Discover Its Secrets! I'm Hooked for LIFE! 💯

Satisfying

I'm going to roll myself a joint and watch this entire thing

Watching from the redwood forest. Thx for this broadcast

SO COOL

Is the music at the start of this video the hulk them music from the marvel movies??

2020... I thought this was old material. Very well done, though!

Wow 32:15 I didn’t know they experimented in space with thermonuclear weapons!!!😮

crazy

Excellent!

UP to DEAT...."Technologies"= AMAZING !!

I like how the sub popped in the example

Amazing

Everything quit working and they figured a go around through an old 8 track tape recorder to send instructions to these craft..I’m proud of you kid’s

Finally a video where they pronounce Uranus correctly

@Spark I’m stealing this doc. Historical milestones in space are really a small part of the timeline that tells the story of space. In my way, I take a similar perspective when pondering the my own timeline & history. Space exploration has a place within my historical timeline & due to my love of exploration, space has purpose for its place. Before streetlights ruined the night sky my siblings & I would sit on the roof of our house & watch satellites pass & sometimes see something unexplainable. Each time I see the shuttle disaster, the same emotions I felt that day I feel today. The timeline of mankind tells the story of space on a timeline that coincides with the timeline of my life. For all of man’s advancements in space I believe the holy grail of space is yet to come & hopefully will during my lifetime. Cheap space flights for the working man would be my personal holy grail of space exploration.

Very nice production This was posted 2mo ago, meaning Nov 2022. Information in the video talks about futur missions in 2022 and 2020 that have bee pushed back way beyond today, mid Jan 2023. This must be an old production, or like much of the space programs, hindered with so many delays... perhaps, lots of bureaucratic delays, budget cuts & cancellations/resource reductions/eliminations... politics...

What an excellent documentary. Spark has done it again.

A lot has happened since this video was released. NASA sent a "Tight Beam Laser" cat video from a deep space satellite to Earth. The bandwidth is far superior to radio. This technology will surely be part of all future missions. Even makes sense in LEO orbits. I'd forgotten about Altima Thule. The only Kiper Belt object to ever get canceled. The next space stations will have at least an 8 meter diameter. An inflatable module could grow to 25-30 meters. That means Starship could launch an international space station in a single mission.

feliz ano novo a todos vocês

I must say, that Dream Chaser is copy (or resembles a lot) of old Soviet orbital plane "Spiral" (and BOR-5). You can easily see it in internet. "Spiral" nit just appeared much earlier than X37B and Dream Chaser, Spiral as a pioneer showed a new concept.
