Anyone got some spare zeros lying around? We seem to have ran out while animating the distance to Titan.

[ruanmells]

Imagine some Drone from another galaxy comes to earth and start drilling small holes everywhere. moving around at snail pace...

[RealEngineering]

Woops, didn't meant to publish this while it was still processing. Please wait to watch in it's fully glory. Mike's hard work on the Titan animations shouldn't go to waste!

[calebheidel]

Thank you for using the actual Dragonfly logo! I I'm a graphic designer at JHUAPL -- nearly every video about the mission has not used it. Great video!

It really is just another slap in the face to Pluto that we use an element called plutonium to explore other planets

2:33 that fucking thump when it landed is hilarious

Half lives(for anyone interested):
Plutonium-238: 87.7 years
Strontium-90: 28.8 years
Curium-244: 18.1 years

Sadness is when you realize we have to wait 14 years to know the secrets Titan holds...

[AldenDoble]

2:35 that landing noise was so out of place hahaha 😂

[EconomicsExplained]

even in 360p great stuff as always mate. Truly is an exciting time that we live in with what is becoming possible. I almost wish I was scientifically inclined enough to work in one of these institutions pushing the limits of this kind of technology. It almost seems like these kind of engineers are as creative as they are technically brilliant.

Can’t wait to see pictures of the surface of Layth- I mean, Titan

[shardulnalegave]

Humanity's ultimate question is not *"How did we get here"* but *"Did anyone else get here too?"*

[CidTheNadie]

2026? Damn
I can’t wait to see the results of all these projects being announced.

"Prepare for forced dutch pronunciation."
"Dutch, a beautiful language."
There's an old story that during the construction of the tower of babel clay fell from the level above and got caught in the dutch man's throat.

Anyone else a little worried if, when there is life on Titan, they discover Dragonfly and are like “Whoa!”

[dhvanitdesai]

4x thick atmosphere, 1/7th the gravitational force. As A UAV designer I was grinning widely

[mohdrazif]

Dragonfly arrived at Titan.
Thanos: INSECT!

[revolver]

I love the _thunk_ that Huygens made when it landed. Those little extra details you put in and occasional jokes while making it good enough for the layman to understand is awesome, why I keep rewatching your videos again and again!

[nasyirvyx]

NASA : *landed on Titan








Thanos : tf u doing here?!

I really hope that's the actual logo for to project because it looks really cool. I like how it forms a double helix.
