NASA’s New Horizons Mission to Pluto

How did a team of explorers become the first people in history to capture images of Pluto’s surface in 2015?

DCODE the amazing journey of the New Horizons mission, in this fascinating 2016 series - Space’s Deepest Secrets.

I think the most fascinating part of this mission is just how far away Pluto is. They launched this thing on a rocket so fast that it reached the moon’s orbit in 9 hours, Jupiter in about a year, and it STILL took 9 years to get there!

Those series remind me of the old good Discovery Channel, that marked me a lot on my childhood. Now is all about naked people on TV and other weird things. What a decadence.

Pluto is Geologically active with an Atmosphere and multiple moons, I think it should be reinstated as a Planet. Period.

I wish I lived in a universe where the Pluto mafia gang is famous rather than the kardashians. They’re so freaking awesome.

This is so beautiful and emotional. Is it weird that I'm touched by the fact that Pluto is still alive?

[frankc]

That guy telling us how they got a lil push from Jupiter was so happy it made me happy 😂 it's awesome to see these guys doing what they love to do!

This is a wonderful, breathtaking, heartrending discovery! I'm grateful to all contributors especially the people who made this luxurious exploration possible. Can't wait for more decades to see more about Pluto and more.

9 hours to get to the moon, and 9 1/2 years before they get to Pluto.... Space is immense

I'm crying. Literally. These space exploration documentary will strengthen my desire to work at NASA. I guess I need to study hard more than anyone to achieved this goal. Thank you people behind these explorations. You've done so well, so great!

It’s about to be 2020, I wanna see more images lol!

All this technology and yet my cell phone can't stay charged for over 24 hours..smfh

I cried when I saw the very first images of Pluto. I had always wished to live long enough to see it. My father however, never lived long enough to see it. He died 5 years before the first images from New Horizons. He was aware of the mission though.

I as an ignorant layman....I am fascinated by anything pertaining to space exploration and science....it satisfies my curiosity in "what is out there and are we alone! .

[kylephilip]

They are the modern day Geniuses. Thank you for showing us the beauty of Pluto. 🙏🏻

[PieRatedGFX]

DCODE surely knows how to tell a story. This had me sitting on the edge of my seat! I'm so glad that this video exists!

[rudivandereep]

Can just imagine how cold they went in with fear ...and then 4hrs to rewrite the program ....if that is not a nobel prize achievement

[GauravYadav-evwb]

These guys are genius real explorers, contributers to mankind

[haverjimmy]

cant help to say that : what a genuinely bright bunch of people - the deserve all this happiness.

There is no words to describe how amazing is the discover of Pluto and the solar sistem itself! Every body who worked hard in all of those missions should give themselves a pat in the shoulder cause they deserve it. Another amazing discovery that I can’t believe is that Pluto has an atmosphere! Can you imagine that, we were wrong all along, Pluto HAS an atmosphere it may not sound like much but wow! Just wow!!! 🙌
