- This video is sponsored by Sony, and I'd like to extend a huge thanks to Sony for the support in making this happen.
Back in September I landed my DREAM project. I knew this would be a ton of work, so with a heart full of optimism I embarked upon the most ambitious project of my entire career. One of the most ambitious undertakings of my entire life, and full of lessons learned.
Huge thanks to Autumn Schrock for all her help.

Heavy stuff. Incredible storytelling and wonderful lesson from it. Can't wait until you get those shots someday brother!
Thank you, Bryan! This was a tough one, but I couldn't just scrap it and move on, felt like there was still a story to tell.
While it is incredibly frustrating and I understand your immense disappointment, I feel like it also important to note the context that MSGC is a program for college students interested in aerospace to participate in these types of projects. These are not professionals employed by NASA, but students trying to develop skills. It’s a bummer to see a lot of comments ragging on the MSGC students
I really love the whole story. I find myself not wanting to push too hard against others on projects & disappointed when things don't work out as they should have. Your project was definitely more high stakes than anything I've worked on but your lesson holds true. We don't have to be aggressive but should be assertive in those moments to convey the possible impact of not being 100% certain we've set ourselves up the best we possibly can.
I look forward to seeing your next attempt at this project & am really glad I stumbled across your channel!
My dude, sorry to hear this. I know you will do it again and you will definitely nail it. I’m rooting for you and looking forward to see the amazing footage that you’ll get. This is definitely not the end 💪🏼
Great video. I'm sure all this story is gonna lead to achieve a so much greater project. And we all be here expecting for it. A follower from Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
Wow, what a huge project. Thank you for taking us on this journey! 🙏🤩
Such an incredible story Nate. I'm so sorry it didn't work out but I have no doubt you will create something spectacular from this
quail hunting with with an m1 abram was the quote of the vid! But man, thats gotta be the most heartbreaking experience of all time. I know you will accomplish this one day
No fking way they launched it into the side of a truck!!😅God I hope NASA is spending a little more time on the stuff they're sending into space. Such a bummer that this project failed but at the end of the day it did make for a successful and very compelling story and film. Epic work as always!
💔 way to tell a compelling story despite the failures along the way. Can't wait for round 2, whenever that may come!
Man, wild stories but so cool to see y’all seeing it through and looking for ways to improve and stay motivated.
Nate, your filmmaking is spectacular, and in this particular case, the effort you put into a carefully written script, shines through with incredible reserve on your part, and taking responsibility for what you could control and looking into the future to making sure that all the parameters are under control. I followed your adventures in Alaska with the northern lights and your willingness to be filmed during the dark times, as well as during the moments of success is what gives power to your films, because all of us have experienced the lows and the highs. I Look forward to chapter 2, and look forward to seeing this success on this particular astronomical photo that you fully intend to achieve in The next eclipse.
21:25 Well said Nate! Incredible story and wow… im speechless 😶 . But always still inspired homie. Thanks for the important message at the end there
This is sooo well done. I'm sorry for what happened but excited for the redemption to come!
Man, you should be running that team of NASA interns.
Man talk about heartbreaking! I have no doubt you did everything you could and what seemed best at the time. I can't wait to see what comes next!
Love the positive optimism about the future…Already looking forward to your next adventure Nate!
Great video Nate, stoked to see what's next. If / when you get the chance to do something like this again would using the Imaging Edge app to remotely monitor the cameras during launch be useful?
I do think something like that could be useful, but unfortunately you can only connect to one camera at a time and you need to push buttons on the cameras in order to connect, so it would leave us sort of back at square one. If I can't open the boxes to access the cameras, then even Imaging Edge wouldn't help. :/
Count down done
I hope you’re getting set up to do this again in April. Once I get my next camera, I want to launch my current camera on a weather balloon just to see what I can capture. It’s awesome that you got anything, they’re photos many would dream of capturing.
Get it brother!!! Without a doubt your last statements are what it is about. The Rocky quote… it’s about how many times you get up that makes you a champion! You will succeed in this and have gained so many life lessons… nobody cares as much as you. Shit happens. The final result will be that much more satisfying!
Great work! Tough lesson to learn here.
Fantastic video mate. Keep doing what you're doing - Samuel Markham
Amazing video, what a cool project! There's always April 2024.
Ooof! I agree that failure can teach us, but when it's someone else's failure that ruins your project, that's a tough pill to swallow.
I hope you're trying again in April! If you are, good luck to you and everyone involved
🚀☀️🐐
Saw this shared on Threads brother, subbed, and liked, come on fam, boost the stock
Hahaha thank you my dude, I appreciate the full-spectrum engagement!!
Hey Nate normally love your videos, but this one kind of rubbed me the wrong way. It feels weird that you never mentioned that they were university students and not NASA engineers (I did a bit of research since it seemed pretty interesting). It also seems like you can see what happened to the failed balloon at about 13:00, where it hits Autumn and snaps something holding the balloon. Now I'm not trying to say that these students weren't without fault as it seems that there was some pretty shotty craftsmanship and communication. Just that I'm a little uncomfortable as to how you depicted it. Well anyway I still enjoyed the cinematography as always, I just wanted to get my thoughts out there. Good luck on your next launch.
Hey Ben, I totally get where you're coming from, but at 2:40 I very specifically say "A NASA funded university research group", and I repeatedly refer to them as MSGC. The balloon got caught on several people at 13:00, you are correct, but that was one of about 15 things that went wrong that day.
That must have been so hard!!
At least you came out positive that’s the good part. Not sure I’d be able to do the same.
Did they pay for your destroyed cameras? How does that work?
None of the cameras were destroyed
Hey Nate
Oh man. Such a big oof. I know if anyone can get it done, it's going to be you. I can't wait to see the images when you finally capture them!
Regarding not telling you where that balloon was recovered I bet. They were testing a way to track telemetry… specifically for balloon flight etc (note Chinese balloon fiasco). Anyway. Good stuff man I love your work. (Fellow Seattle lite)
Try Try Again ... April 2024
That lesson, never second guess yourself. Your gut was telling you there was more to do. You'll get, Nate.
It was a tough spot to be though, because I knew there was more to do, but the eclipse can't be postponed. Super tough when the deadline is iron-clad like that.
@@Nateinthewild That had to be so stressful - lessons to be applied in the future.
Sad to see that the young folks at NASA didn't have more craftsmanship. The last minute fabrication of the camera packages would been a non starter for me. Pretty weak performance on the part of NASA!
Non-starter how? Just give up and go home? I figured it was better to at least still try and see if we could make it work than just quit on the spot after all the effort and time I had already invested.
Yeah just a lot of money at risk, I mean you're not rich are you? The fact that NASA didn't have any respect for your gear. I would have been more disappointed in NASA's performance than anything. I've worked in a lot of large industry in my life and people who aren't prepared for a project put it in peril @@Nateinthewild
this makes NASA look shitty. they wouldn't send up a rocket with out double checking it. hopefully they see this and want to reach out and do it right the next time. can't wait to see part 2
Perhaps the actual goal of measuring gravity waves on this mission was a success, and the goal of the launch was not to capture this man’s half baked plan to take a picture🤷🏽♂️
@@jakeguentherman3948 Perhaps you didn't watch the video, but the entire payload for the zero pressure balloon was cameras. They invited me to fly those cameras, and the mission was to take photos.
NASA wouldn't let you get those images anyway. You know why.
I don't know why
Did they pay for your destroyed cameras? How does that work?
None of the cameras were destroyed.
Oh I thought you mentioned one ballon was lost with a lot of gear....@@Nateinthewild
