- Chronicling the story of NASA’s Cassini mission, this is the latest in our series of documentaries, “JPL and the Space Age.” These films use rare archival footage and interviews with pioneering engineers and scientists from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in retelling of many of humanity’s first steps into the cosmos.
Other films in this series are available for viewing at www.jpl.nasa.gov/who-we-are/d.... Part I of this two-part story premiered here on Oct. 15, 2021. Both parts of “Triumph at Saturn” are planned to be added to this collection in the near future. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I'm one of the many who worked on this marvelous spacecraft. JPL optical engineer. My last project before I retired July 24, 1996. Double kudos to the navigation team. Amazing!
Nothing says desperate for praise like the above statement.
Here let me give your broken ego a strokin
Thou art mighty and smart and henceforth we shall call you space man 0
Your perfect, I have a practical application design of a beyond light speed without the worry of inertia, because the engine warps space with a shell of CMA around the craft, I give it to you free of charge!!!
@larrysteimle2004.
I don't know where people like you come from. So many talented people working at JPL (NASA). Thank you for your service and making us proud 👍🇺🇸
This country & human kind in general appreciate your contributions throughout your career, ok, go enjoy your retirement now! LoL
@@michaelross1452 Give it a rest. He has a right to be proud. Sorry you couldn’t accomplish anything like that.
I had a tear for Cassini's end only after 3 hours of video imagine 13 years would be a lot harder. thank you.
Cassini was a hero. No doubt about it.
Posting these is a service to humanity
I wish films like these were in our movie theatres, they deserve it and more, can you imagine IMAX? Our universe is so much more interesting than any story a human being can create. I have a couple telescopes at home and everytime I see Saturn and those rings, I think of Cassini plunging in that atmosphere of hydrogen and helium, pointing its radios back to that pale blue dot even in its final seconds, fighting with every thuster it has. Its amazing how we can feel so much empathy even for a machine. Thank you, everyone, sincerely at JPL and every nation that collaborated with us to make this happen. A lesson for humanity. Together, there's nothing we can't do.
By complete random chance I happened to be traveling for work back in '97 to Cocoa Beach FL and got the tip to catch the launch of this "Cassini" thing that you can see easily from the beaches there. I set my alarm for the wee hours of the morning, walked down to the beach and dug my toes in the sand and watched with awe at liftoff. From that instant and all the time between, I followed the mission to the end. In those years, I learned so much as the world did about Saturn and all the new mysteries to unravel. Sometimes us humans can really do amazing things. Thank you Cassini and all the legions of people who made it happen.
It would be interesting to hear what you have learned that really stuck with you.
My dad, God rest his soul, was working up for his next marathon when he saw the launch from Lake Worth beach. He called to tell me how impressive the launch was. Me; I missed it. Night launches are great, especially with solid rocket motors. Setting my alarm for Oct 31 SpaceX Crew launch.
One of the few launches I deeply regret not seeing in person...
God bless America praying for all of us!
Great production. This should be shown in every middle and high school in this country. Vision, risk assessment, collaborative decision making, cost analysis , and the quest for exploration. All wrapped up in one of mankind’s greatest achievements.
1🎯🎯% Spot on. Many lessons to be learned, all of which would (and in this case did) make for a better society if applied.
The funny thing about you saying this is that narrator's voice sounds exactly like the narrator from films I watched back in school!
@@MaryAnnNytowl The voice is familiar. I listened to excerpts from some PBS documentaries and found that the narrator for this production is also the narrator for Ken Burns's documentary "The Roosevelts: An Intimate History".
I wonder if anyone realized the date chosen to end the mission was 305 years and 1 day to the day Cassini himself died. I found something poetic in that this spacecraft went around the same time it's namesake went. Now I'm going to watch part one again just to feel like Cassini was resurrected to get rid of the sadness of its demise.
Absolutely THE BEST documentary! Bravo JPL!!
That wasn't by accident, IIRC. I don't think any of that entire program was left to accident or chance, at all.
As someone who have experience in analyzing Cassini's spectrum data, I have goosebumps watching this. Kudos to NASA JPL for making such beautiful documentary!
🤣😂🤣
Images…pfffff
@@h2w25 what are you smoking?
I can only imagine what a thrill it is to relive this moment in time!
The only thing more impressive than the mission itself is the cooperation behind it.
Between Europe and the United States and all of the people on either side, it just goes to show that the future of humanity is cooperation, not competition.
These people make me proud to be human.
It's a beautiful thing and something to be hugely optimistic about.
Bartcolon your positive character is great but this Nasa is created to pretend we should fund it, unfortunately it excites you and the masses contribute..vicious cycle IN EVERYTHING! Satan's world.
@@limited.visibility what. Ask yourself what the purpose of such a deception is.
I hope our kids in school are seeing this, this should be for 6th graders just to awe at.
I had to pause it after the first minute to laugh, that song had me absolutely rolling 😂 "have some linguini" I love nerds so much
Remember when he sang it about Tuvok?
I had a good chuckle about that too lol..have some linguini
That's Woolsey from Stargate franchise 😂
@@user-mo7qf9wt1e
He’s the Emergency Medical Hologram from the USS Voyager thank you very much! 😁
@@keirfarnum6811 I see 😀
It makes me sad that such a beautifully produced, inspiring story doesn't have millions of views
(shh, its getting there!)
We are the lucky few, most people are busy watching fake news
Are you kidding? If you're watching this channel, it makes you a refined connoisseur - of Science! Embrace it! It's like what Shakespeare wrote, "The fewer men, the greater share of honour. God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more."
bc it's all lies
@@SunnyAlberta but... why? what would be the point?
Thanks to all of you at JPL, as a taxpayer who helps fund these kind of projects, I find so much inspiration for the work you do and hope our country is smart enough to keep these projects going continuously. Thank You and thanks to those that put this presentation together!
That intro lol. Robert Picardo doing an obvious nod to a scene with The Doctor in Star Trek Voyager made my morning.
Hah! Yes mine too!😂
Let's all pray JWST will go as smoothly as Cassini
Hope, rather than prayer for me, but yes I share your sentiments. It’s been such a long time coming and it’s sheer complexity means risk is always going to be considerable.
@@DanielVerberne hope, faith or simply excitement - whatever it is, we're all united by it. Such an incredible historical event.
it's gonna be an epic assclencher that one
@@DanielVerberne Hope & Pray (to the FSM ;-)! Launch date now planned for December 18, 2021, so coming soon. This mission has such incredible potential - could turn out to more important discoveries than all previous space probes combined (I so look forward to seeing the images it collects)! I'm sure there will also be a very long line of scientist that will want to point that telescope a particular direction.
@@NesconProductions very excited guys
That ending sequence made me tear up all over again. What a fantastic mission, an impossibly amazing spacecraft, an exceptionally brilliant team, and a great presentation. Truly awe inspiring. This success certainly earned its place in the chronicle of human history.
Tear up your such a girly man
I don't care to associate with those of the robot race!
That ending kind of feels like watching a friend commit euthanasia.
Was difficult to watch. Thanks for all the people who put in YEARS of their lives into this mission!
I have to wait FOUR more days for this episode to drop! It’s torture!!!
I know!!!
The wait is over
Back in 2010 I had the privilege of leading the team that designed the 3rd floor data center at the JPL mission control building. It was a great project but working with the super genii was like herding cats in a thunderstorm.
A truly wondrous mission. I felt genuinely sad for the people involved as the Cassini mission ended. A heartfelt thank you to all of them.
Very nice documentary. Salute to all who made this possible
This was a beautiful account of the development and mission, thanks to everyone involved in the success of the probe, and also the creation of this documentary.
Just wish it would have been sooner
I cried, because I was proud of the team, for doing such an incredible accomplishment for us all. Thank you for helping humanity!
The Choir song has got me in tears :')
Ditto 😭
Time stamp?
*THANK YOU NASA TEAMS* 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦♥️☝️👍
7 years well worth the wait great job to you all
storytelling quality out of this world :)
thank you
Yes only stories and video graphics instead ov releasing videos and images for World.
How amazing it be to see real. Time. Videos and images.
Yes they will release after 50 years.and that will 50 years old.
@@khawarabbas100 NASA actually releases (almost?) all image / video data from missions. Just check their websites.
@@loonatic90 your so lost it's ridiculous you think these are all real videos
@@loonatic90 why do you think nasa and Disney and Hollywood from the Holly tree work together they make magic for our black mirrors we watch it's all green screened or made on computer every bit of it
Yup just a story FULL of LIES! Watch CONSPIRACY THEORY MUSIC GURU, HE HAS THE UNDESPUTED FACTS FOR YALL!!! MIND BLOWING!!!
Finally the true sendoff to Cassini that it deserved. Perhaps the most productive solar system probe ever. Thank you JPL for this and to all the amazing people that worked on this project basically their entire career.
Jump here from part 1, cant wait for part 2. Thx JPL!!
Cassini is one of the greatest interplanetary probes of all time
It was the champion - cries
And my favorite due to the stunning images
Nobody beats V2.
@@lostyank No, just V2. :-)
@@lostyank yes of course
Amazing finale to an amazing mission. Thank you to everyone at JPL for carrying us with you for 13 years and 4.9 billion miles.
Let's do it again at Europa.
I didn't expect to spend my evening crying at Cassini's Grand Finale. Thanks to everyone at JPL for their efforts, and to the documentary crew for the excellent video.
@Anvil Head not everyone is like you 🙄
Hats off to Tour designers trying to please 200 Genius professors. 👏👏👏
The guidance officers ( Tour Guides) for the Cassini mission were exceptionally good. There are sooo many obstacles and different gravitational fields around Saturn and it’s 82 Moons, most of which they didn’t even know about.
the ending is so emotional... i must admit i might have shed a tear
Thank you, for everything! We miss you, Cassini!
Shed some tears at the end there.
Awesome mission, *wonderful people!*
Anybody else blown away by Picardo's voice? Beautiful!!!! Funny, but great sound.
Loss of signal nearly made her cry.
RIP Cassini.
THE INTRO HAS ME DEADDD!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU JPL FOR THAT VIDEO!
One thing that never escapes me (being from the Netherlands) is how native speakers of English pronounce the name of Huygens. As long as I have been watching TH-cam videos, not a single native English speaker has pronounced it correctly... Please keep producing more of these kind of documentaries!
Born in 1980 I came on Earth the same year as the Saturn photo of Voyager, just before I got 18 years old NASA Send a rocket once again in Saturn Direction, in 2005 I got my first apartment alone and I was ready to witness the arrival of Cassini spacecraft, and yes I was crying when Cassini jump into Saturn atmosphère few years ago.
NASA mission help me to remember my life.
Thank you NASA👋😁👍
All my respect for Tour Designers !
I'm 65 and always feel blessed to have grown up during the 60s when NASA in it's infancy was bustling with Mercury Gemini leading to Apollo and the Moon. And now we have this amazement. The Hubble and James Webb. Very proud. 😊
Cassin was a breathtaking probe I ever witnessed!!
Phenomenal. In this world of trouble and general stupidity, it is heartening to know that there are some real humans doing real work for the advancement of humanity.
I love that the narrator seems to be the same guy that narrated the journal and lore entries in the Mass Effect games. Fitting!
What an utterly amazing accomplishment from “Inception” to “Finale”! To all of those, be they a machinist who handmade the parts, to the engineers and scientists who designed it and built it, you have left an indelible mark on the sciences and space exploration! I can’t say it enough… SIMPLY AMAZING!
Could watch this all day.. I had no idea they could essentially steer Cassini where they wanted.. I thought it was in a regular orbit the whole time.. Incredible stuff.
These women and men are the kind of people I want my children to be. Curious and ambitious.
You mean liars and deceivers.

That intro is Cassini… out of this world😉
I get the impression this will be shown on _PBS NOVA_ at some point.
Whoever's idea to have Robert Picardo do that intro needs a raise. Actually Perfect! Please let me know who it was!
legend
Yes he is Richard Woolsey from Stargate franchise 😂

What an amazing gift to the world this mission was. Thank you. The love for space exploration, excitement, curiosity and shear passion, shows in each persons face. This is so inspirational. You guys are truly amazing and such an example to the rest of us. I just want to say, I am so proud of humanity's reach.
props to the cameraman filming Cassini burning up in the atmosphere. Unique view.
Oh love it! And the “hologram doctor” was always so special! ❤️❤️❤️
What an epic mission! And what a fantastic documentary. I always found unmanned space exploration a bit boring and unapproachable, but I “get it” now.
I really hope JPL and NASA will bring a lot more of their missions to life by doing these types of documentaries. Every mission should have a budget for a documentary like this one 🤗
Impressive intro from our beloved Emergency Medical Hologram 👍
I've watched this twice, and both times the end brought tears to my eyes. Bravo, Hallelujah, Amen, and Goodbye!
So amazing documentary! Thank you JPL, NASA, ESA, and all the people who took part in this incredible Cassini-Huygens mission!
This was FANTASTIC. Thank you so much.
Thank you JPL, NASA, ESA, and everyone involved in this crazy journey. What a ride!
NASA: Never a straight answer! There not telling us abuot the aliens they encontrered, of course! Its all a fake conspiracy! Space isn’t real. The erth is flat as a pancake!
😆 Just kidding. I thought I would play act the conspiracy nut role for a moment. 😁
Bless his heart. The tour designer really nerded out at the end. Happens to the best of us.
This is terrific work supported by terrific work by JPLers to make this mission successful!
This was an absolute treat to watch! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this mission and props to the director for giving us such an immersive experience on the processes for such a mission to happen. The music at the end was awesome as well.
Space related content intrigues only the best of us.
Out of endings come new, bigger and better beginnings!..........God Bless!
This is breathtaking beyond any doubt.
Beautiful production.
Beautiful... Thanks for telling the history of Cassini in this touching documentary.
Props to the camera that followed Cassini until it’s end. That’s commitment.
Absolutely brilliant. Whoever thought that talented engineers and scientists can have so much fun and, emotions. Loved every minute. THANK YOU NASA.
The opening was brilliant!
Computer, activate the Emergency Medical Hologram. “Please state the nature of the emergency!”
LOVED this two part documentary!! Would be amazing to do one about juno or voyager(s). Either way, i'm thankful for this no matter what. Thank you so much NASA/JPL!
What a wonderful few hours i had last night watching this. I ended up with a few tears that I shed for a machine, i cant believe it.
Awsome Production. These people are the cutting edge of humanity. As an ordinary citizen, I can say, you make me proud to be man. We are a creature, who by design, should not have survived for long. We have no speed, no great sense of smell, sight or sound....no fur to protect us from the elements, no strength to battle the beasts.....yet here we are, four billion years in the making...not only surviving but accomplishing unbelievable things, such as Cassini, with the one thing that has kept us in the race...incredible minds.
Please make more of these! Loved every minute of it.
Great Mission, as it has added invaluable knowledge - otherwise unobtainable - about the Saturn planetary System.
Compliments to the Cassini team, and to the team that documented the mission in such high-quality documentary, of the likes never seen before any mission.
Thank you from an amateur astronomer and Space enthusiast...
The ST hologram Dr singing in the beginning killed me😂 What a great way to start the second part of this awesome doc!!
Having Robert Picardo was perfect. Thank you for this video.

Thank you for the opening opera. magical unique moments like that show everyone why you go the extra mile with creativity.
Loved the introduction, now will settle down and enjoy your presentation. I’m enjoying the exciting images from the video.
All these people are incredibly cool but the guy who was talking about Iapetus was pretty awesome, made me feel like i knew that guy. again, it was awesome to hear from any and all of them.
We love you Cassini and will never forget you.
Great👍👏 full very interesting video 🌍✌as I can see👀 out side planet's 💟✌😇
the holo doctor really hit me out of left field, these are so so so so so good. thank you for making them. so many good parts, when they are all in that auditorium and the guy up at the projector is talking about how a film crew is there to witness their decision process and they all burst out laughing, choice bit of film.

❤❤❤ Made me cry! 🤦🏽♂️ Unbelievable Mission & a world class documentary! ❤
Just think what James Webb will discover. What a wonderful time to observe science and space!
Thank you JPL for this amazing documentary! Can't wait till the next one!
Amazing, I watched both parts with my 14 year old son. Incredible!
Makes me to love science, tears comes out after watching no pauses and no stop part 1 and part 2,
Id say one onr of the very best missions humans have achieved , i wish we could focus more on amazing work like this.
I know this is not a novel thought, but seeing this moving documentary causes me to ponder the incredible waste of energy and creativity that has been the hallmark of human civilization as it makes war on itself, rather than devoting itself to exploring the universe. It's just so sad. Well, I'm glad a tiny fraction of human effort goes toward space exploration. Better than nothing.
The only time reps and dems are in agreement is when spending for war :-/
This was a masterpiece, it has been acknowledged, very well Caruso is my favourite
The end was felt like somebody whome all loved so much, just past away..
This is breathtaking beyond any doubt.
Beautiful production.
I go to sleep listening to videos like this
Not becuase they are boring but because my mind wonders and thinks I'm traveling and exploring the planets.
Indeed. 😀
Found both of these documentaries about Cassini and loved nerding out on them!
Looking forward to the future return to the Saturnian system and Titan with Project Dragonfly. Go JPL ! That was an amazing documentary thanks 👍
Never quite realized this was to so many people, an entire Career, of another kind.
With so many emotions involved, being Tasked to End a Project, Scientific Mission and Careers Responsibly.
Few people ever get such an Opportunity. Few ever work at One Place, One Business, One Project, for so Long !
It's been along time since NASA put a documentary out quite like this. All that unseen footage through the decades was so awesome and nostalgic to see. I hope they do this more! Someone sure was choppin the onions in the end.
Yes!
What a fantastic documentary. Thank you!
