Motivated by the discussion we had about Stephen Hawking and his views on interstellar travel.
Found this documentary about space made by an astrophysicist:

Watch it in 720p, it is worth it.

Well is there a law that states that it has to be at least x min long then?
Anyway this is home made material and not some studio.

well it doesnt even state its a documentary but you called it one, its more glimpse of something not relating to a a short film/tv programme which is the what a documentary is.

id not even lass something under 30 mins as such really, 3 min documentaries are a joke... let alone 11.. Thd whole universe/space thing is amazing yes but I was let down after clicking your link labled documentary that you found... was hoping for more..

sorry to disappoint you but this "short programme" tries to sketch a picture how big the Universe really is and in just 11 min it does a pretty good job at that.

Space - the final frontier, these are the voyages, of the starship Ent.. oh wait..

Sometimes I get really depressed, when I think of all the space, how I will never see another planet, star, galaxy.. countless beautiful sights out there Sad

Reminds me how insignificant I am.. Crying or Very sad

Its to please the American viewer, 11 mins is the max length of time an American can sit down without wandering off to McDonalds or Walmart.

I think the first building on the moon will be a McDonalds. Should the aliens become hungry, very practical.

Any chance you have read "The Face" by Jack Vance? Very Happy

Some vids of space telescopes:
Herschel and Planck: (480p)
The good old Hubble: (720p)
And the planned successor of Hubble: (720p)

The James Webb space telescope will be placed far away from Earth even further away than the moon.

For me it's the opposite. It shows me how much I don't know, and how there is much super interesting things to find out ^^

Well not all will go and explore space Smile

Some will stay and study the Earth, plants and animals...

Funny you mentioned that WaldoJ, the other day I was trying to find some footage of the deepest dive in history: 7 miles down with the Bathyscaph Trieste.
Only 2 people have ever been at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, more people visited the moon.

How is it not? The length does not determine genre in this case.
