This documentary tells the decades of discoveries led by a group of scientists and the two Voyager probes.The images are beautiful and literally out of this world. It is great to see so many interviews of scientists who were involved in the process. There is a lot of inside information, such as the opposition to taking a final photo of the solar system at the end of the mission. I got moved to tears many tints, because this mission is beyond humanity, beyond space and beyond time.

The technology in 1977 was amazingly primitive to what we have today and yet the brilliant scientists at NASA got a spaceship outside of our solar system? And who's to say Voyager 2 won't do the same?If the two crafts hadn't launched when they did then we wouldn't have seen two of these planets until around 2150. Sobering thought.I really do think that, if we hadn't done this, then there would have been no New Horizons visiting Pluto or most of the Mars missions.We're lucky that Nixon had a limited vision for giving the go-ahead for this mission back in 1972 and Jimmy Carter for starting the process with the moon landing back in 1969. This documentary is a fascinating insight into the 12 year mission plan to get from launch to leaving Neptune's orbit. If you're a space junkie like me then you have to watch this.

Every year there's a new space documentary, I watch them cause I find
the universe to be a damn scary place. All these documentaries are always
full of joys and wonders and gazing upon the stars.. for me its just utter uncontrollable terror when thinking about the big picture.
massive silent rotating planets 1000 times the sizes of earth spinning around in the cold space. And if there are life theres 99% likely they are
like something really menacing like alien movies. cause IF there are other lifeforms they would have learn to adapt to even harsher enviroments and must be things that make lovecraft imagination nothing in comparison!
Alien microbs may have the reverse effect and speed up growth in just a few seconds in contact with oxygen!
ok enough bulls*** What makes me angry watching these docs
are the human naive exploring part, instead of saving our own planet and give balance to everything that is destroyed, they waste billion of dollars on space travels for really no good reasons at all really.
ok they find a planet that spews some kind of liquid. with that money they could have saved the rainforest, cleaned oup some oceans perhaps etc, nasa could have spent their time coming up with better inventions for energy etc.
If we loose earth and make it unlivable it is really over. thats the simple fact.
not the other way around, exploring mars and to believe that we could live there? Its just not in our bio structure to withstand that climate for long periods and depression and weakness in our bones would hit like a truck. how nice would that be? clean up earth instead. stop building cityscrapes over every surface available.
and how amazing all these documentaries are, it really doesnt surve any purpose in the end knowing how beatiful saturn looks up close. Its just rich mega industries that persuing their own curiousness and the curiosity killed the cat.

2/21/18. I love documentaries about Space, but for some reason this only came across as okay. I thought it would have been a more scientific retelling of everything Voyager has done, and it has done a lot, but instead it was just people involved talking what they did. I suppose hearing it first-hand could make it seem more inspiring, but just a documentary about the mission the Voyager set out to accomplish would have been a lot more interesting (at least to me). There, however, was some good NASA footage, but it should have included more!
