“Time and Space” (c.1959) is a color, educational film shedding light on the launch of the Pioneer 4 as part of the race to get to and understand the moon. Presented by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology for NASA, this film discusses the experiments and processes in place in order to make the Pioneer 4 launch a success. The Pioneer 4 was launched to photograph the Moon as part of a lunar flyby. While It didn’t achieve this goal, it did become the first American spacecraft to escape Earth’s gravity and the nation's first probe to enter heliocentric orbit.

Periscope film is a national treasure
World wide, the internet has no bordes. Unless youre in china russia n korea
Goldstone has since become a mainstay of space tracking and communications. The unsung stuff of legend.
🖖🙂👍
When this was filmed in 1959, 40 years prior most homes didn't even have electricity. 40 years ago from now was the 80s.. not even a blink of an eye on the cosmic scale.
and two years later a president will say let's beat the Russians to the moon. meanwhile engineers are thinking "how can we have reliable communication and data exchange over a distance of quarter million miles?" there's only one reliable high sensitive antenna dish (at Goldstone).
thank you for providing these historic videos, i appreciate what you do
Great!!! Tnx. I like old NASA
I'm just comparing yours and the Soviet space films from that time. It's a lot of fun
Operation Paperclip
It's the same shiet ..
The nazi scientist were the brains behind jets/space.

I love the drive in movie background. Nice explanations. It makes everybody a rocket scientist.
rocket scientist isn't a real thing, Lol
@@BlackTarH Yes it is

I can fall asleep to this😮
The narrator sounded like Al Chop, a PR person for NASA and prior to that the Air Force. He also advocated the existence of UFO visits. He always got his name mentioned.
I always found it amusing that he named his son Chip .....
@@thomasparisi5333 Me, too. I had heard him say that on a a vid about UFOs and I thought is he serious? I actually tried a people search on Chip Chop, but couldn't fine anyone. Young Mr. Chop may have changed his name. I certainly would have.
13 yrs later in 1972 pioneers 10 & 11 were launched, gave the first looks at the outer planets, worked for over 40yrs & left the solar system. 🎉
It must have been exciting to work on collecting data to measure more precisely the Van Allen radiation belts, especially if get to interact with Van Allen himself. It also must have been a huge intent to get some real data if we were going to do something like fly to the moon.
I was 1 year old when this was released, so I missed it. I was more concerned with what I could put in my mouth.
Goood one.. !
thank you , I was 13 then 😀
very well done...!
Ohhhhh, a big computer! I gotsta get me one of those 😮
Well they were then. What a Texas instrument calculator that fit in your shirt pocket in the 70’s took and entire building.
They were excited when they could get the same computational ability to fit on just one floor of that building in the 50’s and early 60’s.
Universities scrambled to get there hard on them. Or other branches of government.
😂😂😂 so funny they weren't even turned on
I wonder if they had to reboot them at any time.
@@Johnny_Yuma Don't think so, Microsoft DOS hadn't been developed yet. 🙄
You can tell occupational health and safety wasn't a thing. Anyone else crack up at the guy just casually holding up a cryo propellent line with another guy just chilling ten feet away under 45 tonnes of cryo propellent?
Cold FACT: The same face only one side of the moon EVER faces the Earth.. 0:39👈
Perhaps you could clarify which side of the moon is boiling hot and which is freezing.?
@@AV036yes, the moon is tidally locked. thanks to the lack of atmosphere, the Illuminated side of the moon is extremely hot, and the night side is extremely cold.
needed a good comedy to watch tonight thanks 😊😂
😅😅😮😮well information good show you 😅😅😅
Thank you....
For a while, I had the impression I was watching "Kronos".

Perfect for MST3K
Dr Pickering resembles voice of grand slammer Bob Jones
0:30 no water🤷🤦 why very sure?
Hard to believe a redstone could get anything anywhere close to the moon
Are there any medical documentary videos?
Worth looking into.

real Moon at 0:15.
The dramatic music and voice over almost got me convinced 😂
It's not used to convince fools such as yourself. The voice and music are there to enhance the entertainment value for us more well educated people. Sorry but you've been left in the dust. Beep beep!
Indeed that's all it is, entertainment
gotta be a different kind of crazy to be acting like space is fake & then replied to you own comment 😂 @@topsykrtz3467
This was, after all, the commie scare era.
The opening music sounded like the opening theme from "Kronos," a 1957 science-fiction flick.
1.32, whats she typing? Maybe, i doing stupid thing whole my life.
looks like a Model 15 Teletype machine, that's how they did texting back in the days.

At 14:00 the graphic of Pioneer 3's flight path is out of whack. The ellipse's major axis ought to align with a radius which passes directly through Earth's center. The ellipse's return path should not terminate at the point of launch. It ought to contact the Earth's surface on the other side of the major axis such that it forms a mirror image of the outbound half's point of launch.
From the NASA Archive site:
"The spacecraft reached an altitude of 102,360 km (109,740 km from the center of the Earth) before falling back to Earth. It re-entered Earth's atmosphere and burned up over Africa on 7 December at approximately 19:51 UT (2:51 p.m. EST) at an estimated location of 16.4 N, 18.6 E."
Because of rocket under performance, it didn't have enough velocity to escape earth or achieve orbit. The graphics does seem to show the end of its path over Africa.
@@armandomercado2248
Yeah. I’m not commenting on the projectile’s real trajectory. I’m saying that the diagram is flawed. This happens sometimes in outreach. Another example is a film released in the late ‘50s which centered Earth on the intersection of the minor and major axes of a satellite’s elliptical orbit. This gave the orbit two perigees and two apogees. There can be only one of each.
I believe the illustration is generally correct. Pioneer 3 never achieved elliptical orbit. This would be a ballistic trajectory with a high point of 102,360 km. No semi major axis involved.
@@armandomercado2248
It _did_ enter an elliptical orbit. It didn’t achieve escape velocity, and did reach apogee whereupon it fell back Earthward. That ellipse had one focus approximately at Earth’s mass center, and it necessarily intersected Earth’s surface at two separate points.
@@qed100 I stand by my comment the illustration is generally correct. Although the scaling is off, it shows the launch point and point of re-entry. If the scaling was correct the trajectory would look more like a straight line going up and then down.

Terrific male energy in this era. Higher testosterone makes a difference. Positive, "can do" attitude describes this time.
Hahaha! Thanks for livening this up with comedy! You’re clever. 😄😄😄
A blank check from congress probably helped a bit too
…. Plus a couple hundred nazis imported from defeated Germany… Trump will have no problem rounding some of those up though for future projects
No one was baked and bathed in a Hormone soaked womb then.
Pure bloods and good stock.
Mostly Mutants and Mongs these days.
Devolution.

This is the 1959 version of Nasa's and Elon's charades.
Why post about subject matter that you are ignorant of? Oh, I get it! You're just a troll looking for an argument.
The announcer needs to be woke and inclusive
A Science fiction film broadcasted as scientific news~
A rocket that small can't carry enough fuel to reach the moon.
Wrong.
It was a 4 stage rocket (one Juno II rocket topped by 3 Sargent rockets) and the Pioneer 4 weighed only 7kg, so there was sufficient power to get it to the moon and past. Rocket scientists are pretty good with math and physics.
You think the Earth is flat
Von Braun said it would take 800,000 tons of fuel to get to the moon. Each rocket launch payload at that time was 2500 tons. Musk said it would take spacex 9 refueling missions before they can reach the moon.
Aint No One stepping Foot on Da MOOn. Only mooninites are aloud. ConeHeads Da Moon Ha Ha Ha.
Nonsense. In the near frictionless environment of space it would be like drive a car with an automatic transmission. You get up to speed and coast. You don’t have to have a constant burn. Just a burn to get you to speed. Then enjoy the ride.
The only reason you would need a constant burn would be resistance. Whether air which there isn’t any. Or gravitational which you would escape. And barring encountering some other gravitational field.
