The Voyage Beyond the Solar System [4K]

Of all the spacecraft to have visited other worlds, there are two which have travelled further than any other, discovering more about the Solar System than their inventors ever could have imagined. They are the legendary pair of Voyager Probes; still the only spacecraft ever to have visited the Ice Giant planets, Uranus and Neptune. And the story of their 40 years in space makes up the topic of our video today- from the gas giants, to the ice worlds, and then out into the depths of interstellar space...

I don’t know why, but I feel profoundly sad for the voyager probes. I hope I speak for the rest of the species when I say: we will miss you Voyager, thank you for your service.

"And when I depart from this world, I certainly know where I want my remains to go."

*Shows a satelite flying towards a very particular planet*

[harryhutcherson]

I grew up with the Voyager missions and they are what piqued my interest in the universe. You did a wonderful job with this presentation. Truly honoring the little probes that could!

[rhino]

I was 6 months old when the Voyagers were launched and to think they have been travelling nearly as long as I've been alive is incredible

[datbarricade]

This is seriously some of the highest quality content I have found on YouTube and I dig every second of it. The CGI visuals in general, all the included photos, but also smaller details like the choice of titles, fonts, animations and transitions... and obviously your script and narrations. It is insanely good and I hope you know how much your work is appreciated.

[GoinDownhill]

Thank you very much, Sam. This trilogy has been quite a trip. Please keep the good work. We'll be waiting for the next banger!

[leuk]

Uranus is my favorite planet, I think its so alien and interesting

[padmac]

It's intriguing and very romantic to think that Clyde Tombaugh is the first and only interplanetary traveler in human history with his ashes on board the New Horizons spacecraft far out at 56 AU! It's really awesome! Great video mate ❤

[irfanbey]

Anyone else watched 44:05 with captions on and almost died laughing?

[pauliethemushroomman]

This channel is one of the most important things in my life.

[Ken-fhjc]

Sam, this might be your best work yet. You always seem to capture that wonder we all had about space as children. Thank you I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.

[TheUnknowncaller]

Fantastic trilogy SEA!

Wow!

I can’t imagine how hard it must be to continue to raise your own bar, but time and time again we all see your efforts prove their worth!

You are extremely talented sir!

Look forward to what come up with Next Year!

Happy holidays to you and yours SEA!

[TerminusCodex]

Between the music, his voice, and the content this was another masterpiece! Thank you for continuing to do this work, out of all of the available content on YouTube you are my absolute favorite!

[teapot_]

Thanks Sam, very enjoyable, very well put together. Could have listened to a lot more. Hopefully, you'll keep them coming and will keep the standards just as high.

[willo]

I was born a few days after the Voyager missions took off so it always boggles my mind that the Voyager probes have been out there my whole life.

[Charwi]

Nah that joke at the end took me out 🤣🤣 what a fantastic documentary as always. Love it!

[artdonovandesign]

Fascinating.
Deeply researched.
Beautifully scripted, narrated and animated.

*A historic, highly educational and scientifically important documentary!*
_Many congratulations to All of SEA!_

[sephestra.]

Amazing video, Sam. Your efforts are truly appreciated. And yeah, I got a little choked up when I realized how long it would be before any of these craft reach another star system. Not the first time I cried because of space-related stuff. =)

[PWNAGE]

Damn. Your videos give me that childlike amazement of the universe that I first felt when I learned about the solar system from my grandpa. ❤

[robertmcneil]

The series are stunning pieces of work, well done, merry Christmas, looking forward to your work in 2024 👏
