  • While the legendary Voyager 2 was in the midst of its triumphant Grand Tour through the outer planets, the space shuttle era was underway on Earth. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory would be among the first to demonstrate how NASA’s new shuttle could be used to conduct science experiments about our own planet from the vantage of space. But for launching missions to targets beyond Earth orbit, the shuttle posed engineering challenges. One mission that launched from the shuttle was Galileo, JPL’s flagship mission to Jupiter, and its route to the launch pad would be full of unexpected twists and turns.
    Drawing on rare film footage as well as the memories of the engineers and scientists who were there, “The Footsteps of Voyager” recounts the dramatic experiences of these first-ever encounters at Uranus and Neptune and the efforts to deploy Galileo, a mission that would become the first to orbit an outer planet.
    Documentary length: 56 minutes

    So proud of my dad, H Richard Malm and the other engineers who pioneered the space age.
    Growing up with my dad bringing home photos and data was so exciting. I remember taking a photo of Jupiter’s ring to school. I had the opportunity to teach the teacher about the new discovery!
    I love following the Voyagers adventures.
    Thanks dad.

      You really believe they went to the moon?????? Would you believe me if I said I had physical proof that God is real and proof of how he made the earth and sun and moon amd stars, I also had video of going to heaven to meet God, but 40 years later someone asked me for that proof of the biggest most important achievement of mankind and I tell them I lost all the data and destroyed the technology to get me to heaven and back would you believe me??? The moon landing was the biggest hoax/lie that nasa claims to have achieved, even the 40 years later with technology being vastly improved we can't go back to the moon cuz they supposedly can't get past the "van Allen belts" (firmament). Come on now man come back to reality they never went to the moon and they can't go to space, that's y everything they show us about space is CGI, green screens, wires and harnesses, zero g planes, layering video effects,etc.

    The deep space missions flown by JPL are, IMO, some of the most impressive accomplishments of humankind in my lifetime. It boggles my mind thinking of the symphony of technologies, sciences & engineering that had to converge to launch these missions. And for so many of them to have continued to function so long, or to have ended, like Cassini, in a controlled manner, is a technical accomplishment unlike any other. Everyone involved should be very proud.

    (29:15) I understood right away what they were about to say, when I saw a shuttle and remembered this was in 1986. I know that the first one was in 1986 (a really bad year, there's Chernobyl disaster too...) and the second in 2003, and I known since then what was about to be said. I didn't want to see and hear from that, not now... 😔 All these images, and everything she said there (31:11 to 31:36) brokes my heart again. It is very sad the way the team saw that, and I assume it must have been very hard to live that. And I, too, will never forget what happened this day, even if I wasn't born. Seeing all these debris falling down to the ground, still smoking from the explosion... That's so hard to see.
    But this is how we improve. So as long as we don't forget, we need to head back to the stars, more safely, to achieve better things !
    To return on the Voyager mission, I've actually realize that after the Neptune encounter, the enthusiasm, both for the people that for the crew, began to disappear, because there is "nothing" after. And I'm sure that it must have been sad, for the members who stayed, to see a lot of people changing their ways, leaving the mission and even almost forget about it for some of them. It happened a bit after Saturn encounter, and a lot after Neptune's, even if it wasn't over yet !
    The Pale Blue Dot, what an incredible picture.
    And to finish that properly, this journey, this very long journey, is not over yet ! So let's be part of that as long as we can, because this will possibly be the best space experience in our entire life 💕

    Most of our world will be ran by solar power, reusable, renewable energy sources. I dream of a future where we have no threat against attacks on our power grid. Power outages will never be a threat in our futures. Hospitals, homes, stores will all be built with power banks stored with energy obtained from the solar panels and stations. Imagine houses built on top of power banks. People will have more time for their family and friends. Robotics and computer technology will be the largest source for income and jobs world wide. One day we may be able to regain the lost knowledge of our loved ones that have passed. It's a matter of doing so safely. Some day we will call this beautiful planet we live on. Heaven
