The Rosetta Mission and the History of the European Space Agency ESA (Documentary, 2014)

For science, the breathtaking landing of the philae lander on Comet 67P is as sensational as the landing on the moon in 1964. The Rosetta mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) was designed to study the evolution of the Solar System by exploring one of the oldest heavenly bodies – comets. The mission unveiled secrets about our existence and the genesis of the solar system. The mission consisted of the Rosetta orbiter and the Philae lander. The probes were launched on 2 March 2004, travelled 6.4 billion kilometres in 10 years and, with the help of a few planet swing-bys, arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 6 August 2014. On 30 September 2016 the orbiter philae started its controlled descent. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 – Intro ▷ 03:37 – Rosetta Mission ▷ 04:34 – Comets ▷ 09:12 – Space Race, Cold War, 1957 ▷ 11:43 – Ariane 1 ▷ 12:50 – Giotto ▷ 16:13 – Airbus Defence and Space ▷ 21:41 – Thermal Insulation for BepiColombo ▷ 24:03 – Astronaut Training ▷ 29:14 – International Space Station (ISS) ▷ 31:45

The Nearest Planets That Could Have Alien Life

For decades, humanity has looked at the stars and asked one terrifying question: Are we alone? In this deep-dive investigation, Life in Outer Space explores the high-octane world of astrobiology and the multi-billion dollar missions designed to find life in the most hostile corners of our solar system. From the frozen oceans of Europa and the methane storms of Titan to the "Tiger Stripes" of Enceladus, we analyze the cutting-edge technology—like the Kepler probe and the Mars 2020 rover—pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

Why Did Nasa Secretly Send 6 Men To The Bottom Of The Ocean In 1969?

In July 1969, NASA executed a covert 30-day underwater mission with six men, impacting future space exploration. In September 1999, marine archaeologist Jim Delgado located the submarine in a Vancouver shipyard, noting its extraordinary preservation. He aimed to explore its history and reconnect the aquanauts to reflect on their shared experiences after 35 years. Licensed to Little Dot Studios.
