It’s disturbing to read comments here on defunding public broadcasting. They have informed, educated and entertained the general public for decades. Private entities have no incentive to do so other than to serve the interests of profits and shareholders. I for one applaud the work public broadcasting has done and hope it will continue to do so for the next century.
It's the ones that are uneducated and proud of being so. They live with their fingers in their ears and eyes closed going "La la la la la " so reality doesn't effect them.........or so they want to believe.
I am fascinated by space. Mercury, Apollo, Shuttle. At the same time, we're struggling to maintain the planets ecosystems. When the government sets budgets, they should focus on society first. Healthy happy people are more likely to achieve more.
No. I can’t even watch the content with ought using a vpn. If they are going to benefit from the scale of TH-cam, they should open their content to the actual contributors. All people matter. Regardless of the híper localized perspective of pbs.
Very beautiful. I sort of wonder if variable-geometry-(electro)magnetic fields could be used for generating motion in outer space. There are many ways to produce electricity and it would be great if somehow that could be converted into motion without the need to store huge amounts of compressed gas for propulsion only. Meanwhile space-mounted accelerator/decelerator stations (similar to railguns in principle) could be used some day for freight infrastructure in space/interplanetary/intra-Solar System.

i caught several Space X shots in around 43-45 minutes and then there was a Starship somewhere else. But the 43-44 minute part was basically the NASA administration under Obama admitting that space travel needed to be privatized and then, it's praising billionaires for bringing the price down on space travel and making it accessible to all of us.
While there was a photo with Herman Oberth in the center (put there for Von Braun), I am a bit surprised and dissapointed that there was no mention of him, at least up to that point. The best time to discuss him too was when retelling the ideas of the 20's and 30's.
There collecting information you know like how the web works alot of individual computers is what makes it strong it's like elons satilites a whole lot in gonjuction makes sure that what is collected is keep and with real time assessments there is less delay
There is a mention of Elon Musk when the NASA interview who ran NASA during Obama said that they realized that private space travel was a better approach than the government running it. Also several pieces of footage showing Musk, and Bezos and Branson and generally this seemed very pro-private space travel. I am sure it was done awhile back.
21:30 How does a curator for the United States' Smithsonian, not know the correct possessive for United States, is *United States'* not *United States's* 😂 So many inaccuracies through out and how did you let your political prejudice, ignor Elon's, most magnificent contributions vis-a-via SpaceX?
Poor, wee fanboy. Maybe your daddy will leave you millions so you can go buy yourself a rocket company, fire the founder, and take all the credit for yourself too! Best of luck!
Kind of strange when you explain something so eloquently and succinctly that people find rocket science simplistic-weird, huh? That’s the beauty of PBS
It’s for people who want to learn about a subject they are not experts in. If it gets them excited about the subject they can continue to read and learn more. It does its job. Most Americans are scientifically literate.
We are already currently using many boats and ships equipped with 3d scanning and mapping technology to map the ocean, there are enough people to map the ocean and explore space, we can do both.

Beautiful & Fantastic.
What an awesome documentary by pbs again
But great history and images !
This is great

Not Gemini?
Please Please Please go FUND PBS. FUND FUND FUND PBS ASAP!
Why, they're communist
Take some of that Ukraine money

Old NASA Rockets Was Amazing.
The true innovation will come when we dispense with rocket power and find another way, and cheaper way, to escape Earth's gravity.
agree
Gatekeeping innovation is a new one lol
If we don’t wise up here on Earth, self-extinction is more certain than space colonization.
Self extinction is a massive risk no matter how much we wise up. Technology is the most deadly threat that we are increasingly reliant on.

what is the app that dude is talking about visibility of boats ?
There are lots of them, just google it.
Can anyone provide the time stamp of the Starship catch?

Why there's no mention of SpaceX or Elon Musk in the entire documentary which is about "The Innovations of Powering Space Travel" ???? I wonder

No Starship?
i saw a Space X rocket in there but this was probably made before
I;m wondering how many times we'll be going back to the moon before we admit our approach isn't working.
Use AI to build a ionic plasma drive to travel .3lightspeed.
Other alien species have been walking Earth since the dawn.
This was interesting, but not very insightful or critical in examining the the many dead ends were currently mired in (Spinlaunch, Starship, etc…)
Too poetic 🙄
Cliches.
kinda simplistic; is this for kids?

So much false opinion in the first five minutes ..
You could be MORE vague, but I'm not sure how.
Education would help you a lot.
which?
Shouldn't we map the oceans on earth first? It's 90% unexplored.
Get on it!
We are already currently using many boats and ships equipped with 3d scanning and mapping technology to map the ocean, there are enough people to map the ocean and explore space, we can do both.
You can't travel space with rockets!
Are you people sleeping? Do you not see how the UAVs behave?
That's an innovation.
🤣 UAVs is wishful thinking.
Not the best PBS post. Lots of mistakes and very focused on the American ideal
What mistakes? Are you being intentionally vague? And of course it's focused on "America", PBS is after all an American institution.
