Imagine: with a wasteland as their canvas, a Master and his young Apprentice set about turning rubble into planets and moons, asteroids and comets. They levitate the worlds above their heads, spinning them in orbit around their symbolic Sun.
“What is the key to life on Earth?” asks the Master.
The Apprentice shakes her head. The answer is obvious: water.
“For a long time, the origins of water, and indeed life on our planet remained an absolute mystery. So we began searching for answers beyond Earth,” the Master continues.
“In time we turned to comets. One trillion celestial balls of dust, ice, complex molecules, left over from the birth of our Solar System. Once thought of as messengers of doom and destruction, and yet so enchanting.
“And we were to catch one: a staggeringly ambitious plan.”
Science fiction? No - science fact.
As Tomek Bagiński’s short film Ambition makes clear, it is the essence of what it means to be human, to attempt difficult things, to reach for seemingly impossible goals, to learn, adapt and evolve.
And at the heart of this film is Rosetta, ESA’s real mission to rendezvous with, escort and land on a comet. A mission that began as a dream, but that after decades of planning, construction and flight through the Solar System, has arrived at its goal.
The making of ‘Ambition’
Its aim? To unlock the secrets hidden within the icy treasure chest for 4.6 billion years. To study its make-up and its history. To search for clues as to our own origins.
From 100 km distance, to 50, 30 and then, defying all expectations, to just 10 km, Rosetta continues to captivate and intrigue with every image and every data packet returned.
It will rewrite the textbooks of cometary science.
But there is more, an even greater challenge, another ambitious first: to land on the comet.
The stage is set. The date: 12 November 2014.
“As a science fiction writer, it’s hard to think of a more stirring theme than the origin and ultimate destiny of life in the Universe,” says Alastair Reynolds.
“With the arrival of Rosetta at 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko - an astonishing, audacious technical achievement, literally the stuff of science fiction - we are on the brink of a bold new chapter in our understanding of our place in the Universe.”
Ambition the film
“Rosetta is less than 10 km from a comet, and both are racing through space at over 60 000 km/h,” says Matt Taylor, ESA’s Rosetta project scientist.
“Next month, we’ll be attempting to land on the comet, and with our orbiting spacecraft, we’ll continue to keep pace with the comet for another year or more, watching how it evolves over time.
“All of this is new and unique and has never been done before. It may sound like science fiction, but it’s a reality for the teams that have dedicated their entire lives to this mission, driven to push the boundaries of our technology for the benefit of science and to seek answers to the biggest questions regarding our Solar System’s origins.”

After almost 5 years this short film is still the best one.
After 8 years still the best.
How this does not have a million plus views and likes.ty and great job making this!
This is the kind of sci-fi I grew up with: stuff that sparks your imagination and makes you dream big. Now, it's all dystopia and darkness. I miss it.
This was the most interesting short film I've ever seen. I've never seen a live short that had good acting. This had my attention the entire time. Great script, great actors, great message.
Now this is something that gave me goose bumps. Beautiful message that shows our current technology while navigating through our imagination into a world that could be one day in the future. Just beautiful.
I get this
I'm barely 1/2 way through this video and already I'm thinking _"this is absolutely brilliant."_ A brilliance made even more so to eclipse a supernova with the casting of Aidan Gillen as the mentor.
The Best Airbender movie yet
Now that was frigging amazing...
I have never seen a video like this in my life. its message is deep and complete. It's ambitious and is true.
This video inspired me so deeply that I come every once and then to watch it again and it doesn't go away more then 5 months that I don't quote it again. Thank you ESA, I'd love to work for SPACE COMMUNICATION It's a wonderful interdisciplinary job.
We need this, to inspire our world-wide young generation to reach for the stars, with science, engineering, luck, and from divine intervention what ever form that may be.
Aiden Gillen is a great orator. Brilliant performance.
Well done. Too many repetitive bleak post apocalyptic videos out there. What a relief to find a positive message and a bit of science.
Definitely. So many productions are all doom and gloom.
He actrist in maze runner 3 , the command of army
Lord "littlefinger" Baelish didn't die...he just moved on!!
lol
Nice! Now make it a full movie!
One of the most beautiful short movies I have ever seen!
One word : MARVELOUS.
WOW... beautifully done. All of it. The acting, the imagery. a feeling of power from both of them... I've yet to see that replicated with such succulent detail then what you showed here.
This is a wonderful film. Full of hope and dare I say, dreams. There are also of course, bleak films that are also well done. But sometimes, it is nice to be able to dream.
Magnifique.Merci
Wow. Im in! More please...
Enjoyable, a fantasy snspshot. No history, no future is needed- it just exists on its own.
More about Rosetta
Rosetta is an ESA mission with contributions from its Member States and NASA. Rosetta’s Philae lander is provided by a consortium led by DLR, MPS, CNES, and ASI. Rosetta is the first mission in history to rendezvous with a comet. It is escorting the comet as they orbit the Sun, and will deploy a lander.
Comets are time capsules containing primitive material left over from the epoch when the Sun and its planets formed. By studying the gas, dust and structure of the nucleus and organic materials associated with the comet, via both remote and in situ observations, the Rosetta mission should become the key to unlocking the history and evolution of our Solar System, as well as answering questions regarding the origin of Earth’s water and perhaps even life.
Canale25 Haha WOW, How many times will they get egg on their face before they admit comets are not, never have been and NEVER will be balls of ice? If they spent as much time looking at the data as they did on this preconceived propaganda they might actually learn something. Thanks to the actual Comet 67P for once again making scientists look like idiots, sadly, like idiots, they still don't get it. Its an Electrical Universe out there, nothing to do with gravity! And once that electricity is accounted for, a simple calculation confirms the creation of all the oceans in a single day.
+Hawaiiguy Kailua actually, comets do contain ice, and no, they are not solid balls of ice
electric universe is a interesting theory... mostly... but unfortunately its kind of a collection of misunderstandings, misconceptions and some outright craziness
have fun tapping the inside of your glass jar though, you might be stuck there for a while
Thunderbird Anthares Don't get me wrong, I grew up on modern science as well, but after 7 or so years post graduate school I have learned a lot of other compelling science. I would be the first to hope plasma physics and electrical engineering gets the look it deserves (within) in the standard model. Its unbelievable that even in the face of Nobel Winners (Alfvens, Langmuir, etc.) the "club" is so far up its own ass it refuses to even look at the Safire Project findings. The phase I work established more than we could hope for, Phase II will be looked back upon 50 years from now as the begrudging turning point in astronomical science. Gravity will still be here no doubt, but the actual source, [?cause (plasma/ electricity/ magnetism?" ) = effect(gravity)] will be well on its way to being determined, and suns will indeed be the electric balls they show all the signs of being. Its not church, its science and there is no place for dogma. , get it wrong, move along, get it wrong for over 100 years(or 60+ in Dr. Fred Whipples case) get a new line of work.
+Hawaiiguy Kailua stars being electric balls...
okay man... i understand you like your own hypothesis, and its okay to have your own opinion, but... its wrong, sorry... please dont attempt to science any more :-)
Thunderbird Anthares okay, I guess scientific proof doesn't count anymore, and I wonder why I even bother to help enlighten. It's not as if ignoring the laws of physics is okay for a nuclear sun...oh wait that's exactly what that continually disproven theory does!
Holy mackerel those two are really hazardous to the environment. Just crushing and exploding and levitating and dropping everything in sight.
So many complain that Sci Fi is all dark and doomsday now, its always been a mix of both ways if you go back to the old written stuff, read some of the great anthologys and its split between hope and horror just as it is now.
We have more access to more forms of media and storytelling and the algorithms they learn from us. They see we watch a dozen dark and twisty sci fi films in a row and they throw links to ten more in front of our face. We feed the machine the information about what we like to watch and it in turn feeds us more of the same until you've spent a week bingeing a dark future unfolding.
If you want bright, hopeful, and fantastical, click on more videos along those lines, don't sit in the comments and bemoan the loss of the way it used to be in the "golden age" of scifi.
Wonderful!
Mr. Littlefinger was a time traveler after all.
Romex (Used for wiring houses!) wrapped around her arm. That is priceless. Good Job!!!
Interesting! Would have been cool if a full feature length film was produced, instead of lasting under 7 minutes.
Michael Cartwright dude relax this is probably Kickstarter project to generate interest to make a more big-budget film later sometimes you got to put an some appetizers before you put on some steak
That is inspiration for an awesome movie! And as an ending to discover that God is the maestro of the universe the alpha and the omega!
Estos cortos hacen volar la imaginación y evadirse de la realidad como los relatos de Dimensión Desconocida.
Great effects!
Saw this way back . Still one of the best today
Oooh yes with Peter Bailish or Pytr Baelysh not sure how the writer spelled it , " little finger" GOT. Don't know actors nane. Forget since covid if not use it much or memorize, but his voice,accent, he is so good. Interesting voice, but wow this is smart different science dialog. Love it ! Too bad it was not backed up. Read all the comments & replies liked & not liked, & wish ypu had posted links so must look up the pg of the name to find out if any progress about the project.
Great fun!
Fantastic
absolutely stunning!
Nice, VERY Nice! Up lifting, for a change.
Best I've seen! Excellent!
educational and and very interesting film, I enjoyed the movie
One tiny little problem. We now know that comets are identical to asteroids and have no ice at all. This was predicted many years ago by those who knew but were ignored. Recent missions have all proven them to have been correct. Every comet we've visited is a waterless rock.
I thought it was just metals, radiation in it not water at all, so don't know of this study, cuz not looked up to follow such things.
COOL !
yeah..... nearly had me....pfft nice.....
Very much enjoyed the scope of the characters power and the message. Well done.
A brilliant interpretation of how future technology might operate.
Cool video Aidan gillen one hell of an actor
yes! More of that, please.
good special effects
Definitely a new breed of awesome.
My choosing this video as part of my being entertained was a great choice. Keep that in mind please if you should read on.
Wardrobe was unique, but simple. I don't do well with movies trying to put poetic prose into their deep messages; those and income taxes - both get the Homer stare. What's the story again?
Otherwise, thank goodness for the 'kewl' CGI that seemed to put my confusion on hold. How it might tie in with the ESA Rosetta mission is, to me, my next mission - and to find out how the Rosetta mission is doing today.
A well-done and interesting short - I was entertained quite nicely - thank you
.i.
Very well done.
We found out that comets are not dirty snowballs. They're mostly rocky accretions. Their tails are created by an exchange of electromagnetic potential with the sun.
This film also demonstrates the human need to be as destructive as it is constructive.
Magnificent!
The potential of our unopened minds, souls and ancient wisdom....
Good science fiction!
awesome my favorite so far!
I'm sold.
Well done. Great video and sweet sound track.
Much better than i expected. Well done.
id like to see this made into a movie with a script
I really liked that.
Aiden Gillen as what is essentially an earthbender? I want to see this as a feature film now.
Would be pretty amazing
Make this into a movie
Nicely done.
very well done. Thank you
Thanks for caption 😄✌
Awesome - (and the Master is gorgous)
This is going to be shown on TH-cam film ambition full fantasy movie Esa Rosetta mission? If this is something that's coming to TH-cam I'm so excited it looks absolutely brilliant thank you.
Nice!.... Loved it.... More... I want more.
Very nice ! Ty
astonishing !
Really like Aidan Gillen, though have never seen his work (to my knowledge). What a great introduction of characters and premise!! I have no doubt but you will be picked up by major studios, should you wish.
Were you joking about Aidan Gillen? Because if so you definitely need to check out his character on Game of Thrones.
Very cool!
Awesome !!!
Hey it's that guy who says don't trust anyone and isn't trustworthy.
Also... holy shit it's like dancers at the end of time - as a documentary.
better than the last 4 star wars movies
Wow lovely
One just doesn't take the stairs when there is a ladder!
Hi there love these short moves that was a good story pity it is not a film 🎞 make it so ❤️🇬🇧David
Cool!
Nice!
Interesting have seen the male lead in a few other more widely known pieces was interesting to see him in a short on youtube.
Really good
AND WITH ROSETTA WE FOUND OUT THAT COMETS ARE NOT SNOWBALLLS IN SPACE BUT ROCKY BODIES BEING ELECTRICALLY ERODED
awesome
Very cool
Ambitious 😎
Great!
De un solo núcleo* madre* de agua lentamente esta se multiplica, lo vemos en las salinas, que desde los núcleos * vivos* se multiplica, lo único como bien dice la ambición* pudre y mata las cosas,las razas,la gente,y hasta los planetas
Si se hace una espectral a nivel armónico con una gota de agua se vera como esta se multiplica pero esto solo fue interpretado por el genial científico *tesla* cuando de muy joven * conversaba con el* agua de las cascadas y hasta su madre se asusto* pues no entendía que el* agua le * respondiese*/att.spagna
Didn't we recently discover that a lot of the water was inherent in the Earth's mantle, just locked away.
I think I'm 4 years late to watch this .
I'm the whole 5 so do not feel so bad.
I don't get it :/
If you dare dream and hope that these sites and visions can be the ultimate future for the human species, then know that you are not alone. But you will have to first find the way to stop old age, sickness, and ultimately death. There are those who say with complete conviction and not blind faith that this is not only possible, but coming. Are you a dreamer? Then seek. Ask. Listen. For this is the truth. Even dreams do come true.
Dream on....ain't gonna happen
Lord Pytr Baeilish...🙏
Great idea and story, but PLS if u make this into a ful movie, recast both. They were fantastic in GoT and others, but totally put me off for this fantasy stuff. Just because they are great actors and popular, dont mean they are right for the role
Rosetta a été la premiére, souvenons nous en. Elle est peut étre le point de départ des découvertes future.
Very pretty and well-done !
And on the day after we learn, there will be nothing,
after Our primeval subconscious rages against the light.
I wish they would make this into a FULL length feature... LOL
How did you do the effects??
