Features the following music by M83, from their album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming..."When Will You Come Home," "Soon, My Friend," and "Outro."

      This rocket technology came from war because people are still more willing to spend money on war then Space. Having a unified group working towards Space travel is what we should strive to have for the future. Only then will we be working towards the goal of having the whole Earth developing means to travel across the whole Solar System, and beyond.

      We're from a generation that has kind of rekindled the fire of exploration, and may just see these things again. And when it happens and we see our accomplishments actually being in the same league as those we hold up as almost godlike...it's amazing.
      For Christ's sake...those folks that landed on the Moon have SCHOOLS named after them. There's a Neil Armstrong Elementary in my town. We might live in a time where that kind of stuff makes history...not viruses or terrorist attacks or Orange Presidents.

    Really awesome compilation! great work!! I hope that they don't take out the song because of silly copyright rules... I've seen it happen to other vids.. :(.. but this is awesome =). I really like how you included a space shuttle launch disaster; far too often are the sacrifices of our space heroes downplayed by our successful missions/heroes.

      Thank you, I already had the video flagged once for copyright infringement but I successfully fought it! The Challenger disaster was a pivotal moment in NASA history, one that they never fully rebounded from. I still cannot believe that we don't have an active human space program anymore.
