- This video has been uploaded for the benefit of all and no mercantile interest on my part. It's purpose is to inspire people in the belief that despite all the negativity in the news, "humans can accomplish almost anything". Taken from "When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions" documentary. All rights reserved to Discovery Channel & Communications.
One of the best soundtracks to one of the most underappreciated documentary series of all time.
RIP Bruce McCandless II
These men and women, who travel to space to explore, to understand, to extend the reach of humanity, all of them are heroes, worthy of our recognition and honor.
They are the reason our species will become space-faring.
CFO34 - They get paid to do it
And as far as I know Heroes don't need anything in return.
And 11 years after this documentary and we are now somewhat interested in space again
It has been somewhat like this:

@@aspn-ender645yep and now we have Artemis 1 and up next Artemis 2
1:10... right there, that's the stuff.
This is a nice outro
A sequel to when we left earth should be made in the 2030s about the early SpaceX Mars missions. It should be called When we left earth part two: for fun and profit.
Right we should instead do it for the "glory of the ussr" like your commie pals
I loved this mini show
I watch this every time I'm taking a hit out my gravity bong ive learned a lot about the space program much respect badass too ! shout out ! to NASA
As a teen, I am really desperate. The people of my generation don’t have any interests(most of them), and when they do it’s gaming or anime. I ask a question: what will be of the world when we carry the future of Mankind and the World on our shoulders? I know few people who are interested in exploration, trying new things, attempting to get into history or help write it. And here I raise a bigger question: why people interested in doing something new or wanting to push the boundaries of our world have to be the ones scoffed at and bullied at?
Here I tell my part of the story: I have always been interested in this world and space. My earliest memory is watching this documentary while wearing a astronaut suit. I have always wanted to be a Nasa/ESA engineer or an Astronaut. I work everyday teaching myself(with books and help of the internet of course) about orbital mechanics, technology, physics, computing, design and astronomy. For the last 2 years I’ve been doing part-time jobs and saving money so that I could buy a telescope, and have taught myself how they work. Now I’m saving money to buy a lone trip to florida(for surf and KSC) and California(because of the JPL and Silicone Valley). Also I have to thank all Space Agencies and the people who work in them for my life: why? you may ask, well for 2 years I struggled with Friends and Family(I didn’t have literally friends, and discussed with my family from morning to night) thanks to them working I saw that I had time to learn about what they did and all of what are my interests, It kept me happy and made me have a will to live, so that one day I could go up there(space). That is my only will in my life.(going to space)
I want to remind you that I’m under 18 and live in Europe(better said the in EU, because I know that some Americans think that they are the only ones capable of saying this(that they teach themselves about space technology and that stuff), but actually, it’s not nationalities, age, race or gender. It’s about what you aspire to do and what you want in life, what you like and do. Empovrished people aren’t less intelligent because they are poor, if not, they can’t express what they think and want to do because they don’t have the tools to do it)
Thank you for reading ‘till here
“But those are journeys for the future”❤️
The future is now
Coming up soon with Artemis 2 bringing humans back to the moon
The next chapter: When we left earth the commercial missions: For Profit and Innovation
“We fly for our country, we fly for our country…”
This program led to the Artemis I that just took off….
Can't wait for SpaceX's Big Falcon Rocket to spread its wings. #occupymars.
This documentary is very good but a lot is left out because of time.
The best space movie out there right now is "Fight for Space". It really shows how the shuttle and ISS were misguided and how little has been achieved in the last forty years despite hundreds of billions of dollars spent and lives wasted. I would love to see NASA get back on track, but in the current political environment, I'm not holding my breath.
no we going to mars baby

He's still got it slightly wrong. Should be "its". 😁

Where are the Soviets?!
That's a good question, Filipiordabest... The real answer is that Soviet spaceflight, by the mid-1960s, lagged far behind that of the USA. The N1 never worked, the lunar-Soyuz never worked, and the Soviets (and Russians today) have never developed a man-rated booster larger than R7 variants which they have used since 1957's Sputnik 1 flight. One thing they have done, is to develop an extremely efficient engine, the R25, originally for the N1. Yet this engine too, has now been superseded by more advanced types.
It's called "When we left Earth: the NASA missions", that's why there are no Soviets.
The BBC Documentary Space Race (still available on Netflix I believe) documents both sides of the story rather well imo.
the STS programs was a terrible program with noble intents and brave souls willing to carry them out. Each time they rode a degrading unsafe launch vehicle to orbit.
It was certainly too ambitious. The complexity of the shuttle and supporting systems were a recipe for disaster as soon as NASA tried to meet expectations in lieu of safety procedures. That being said, it's doubtful that some missions like the hubble repair mission would have been possible without it.

Hubble repair certainty doesn't justify the shuttle. They could have assembled a new Hubble from spares and launched it with a new mirror. Most of the expense of Hubble was in the engineering. With that done, they could have built three or four almost as easily as one.
Max Castor
Well said.
The biggest problem with the space shuttle was that it was a rocket that was always in R&D so it never was safe
