    To even be alive in a period of space exploration makes us complete outliers in history. How could anybody not find each new wrinkle of information entirely captivating?

    i say this with the utmost affection and respect - i just love listening to these nerds talk about space. they are so thrilled about it even after having done the job for often decades, and i don't blame them. the first woman's excitement has made me smile so much already

    Cassini, one hell of a spacecraft.

    Imagine one day far into the future when we can at least travel inside the solar system and see all of these with our own eyes. Makes me kind of regret being born too soon.

    Exploration is knowledge and fortune always favors the brave.
  • The first editing, with the atmospheric ambience music and soft spoken narration is much much better that this upbeat music and fast paced narration of the rest of the video. It kills the vibe.

    This guy is the best narrator on YouTube

    Cool animations!! The same effects tore apart the Shoemaker-Levy Comet before the leftover material collided with Jupiter!!! The live video of that event is the most magnificent piece of film- showing just how volatile and active seemingly open space really is!! The resulting energy released was incredible!!!

    Amazing work, thank you. So sad to hear about budget cuts and layoffs at NASA.

    There's an awesome young adult sci-fi story called "The Secret of Saturn's Rings." A scientist is trying to stop mining on Earth's Moon, because he thinks it'll ultimately lead to it breaking apart. He and his son go to Saturn to investigate the rings to see if it might've been a moon in the past, and discover ancient artifacts from an alien race. Seems they over-mined THAT moon! Any way, it's a great story for kids and teens, that's when I read it decades ago.
  • Loved seeing all of these ladies talk about their work on this project. I’m so used to seeing white haired old men talk about space so this was a great change of pace :)

    Is that the voice of Zachary Quinto who played Spock on Star Trek 2009?

    One day people will come back to this video having seen photos from titan and that's pretty cool to think about
  • The laws of nature and the power of the universe is incredible to see. It’s also so unbelievable that I notice how small,powerless we as humans
