This is unbelievable!! Jared your videos look like you have whole teams and departments working on them- Seriously youâre so talented!

Thanks, Justus! I definitely try to attend to every detail I can, but admittedly I could get these out a lot faster if I did have whole team đ
This was so good. Thank you for providing this great documentary!
Thanks for watching! Itâs an incredible story and if youâd like to know more, Iâd highly recommend Dr. Sternâs book âChasing New Horizons.â Thereâs a lot I had to leave out!
Best mission ever! What a remarkable journey! đ
Fantastic video! And yes, Pluto is 100% a planet! đ«
It really was an incredible mission that more people should know about. Thank you for the kinds words!
And yes, Dr. Stern and I are working on a video about why Pluto IS a planet, regardless of the IAU's 2006 vote. Should be up in a few weeks!
