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

Same!!!! Built the Kosmokrator several years ago. Dont know if its still available.
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.
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 …
