Keith’s note: The artists at JPL who created the farewell video for Cassini must have seen “Wanderers” – and “Interstellar”. If so, it shows. That’s OK. This JPL creation sets a new standard for displaying what NASA missions have done and the true scale of the vistas these probes would see if we humans were not constantly telling them what to look at. The more of these videos NASA makes, the more it will explain itself to more people, and the stronger its support amongst the populace will be. Watch both videos. One is a prequel. Oh and the Interstellar clip is a must-see as well. We will one day see these things with our own eyes.
Well done piece.
One has to wonder what Cassini would think of Cassini.
It will join Wanderers on my laptop. I’ve shown that to many hundreds of students over the years along with the Apollo 11 landing sequence in From the Earth to the Moon. Most are moved, they understand and many can’t wait. Let’s hope that LockMart etc succeed with fusion.
Actually according to Twitter Eric of wanderers fame did the video.
