The beggining isn't very accurate. 80's music would have been about 7 light years away and 30's broadcasts would have been about 60 light years away. Mars is only a few minutes away at the speed of light.
@movieegrl13 That is not a problem. I have seen the ending.
Lots of people seem to think the end of the movie is exiting so it has been uploaded by many. It contains spectacular CGI effects that I don't think anyone is expected to understand followed by some rather predictable drama that does not add anything significant to the story.
It is more interesting to see what leads up to it, the motivation and the preparations for the mission. I am satisfied if parts 1 to 8 cover that.
science makes developments that are good for the people by surprise, all the time. That's why money into 'pure research' IS well spent. Out of the space program, the people got household inventions like teflon, aaaand.... more, I'm just too noob to remember them.
@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke Teflon wasn't developed out of "pure" research. It was an accident from specific experiments in refrigeration, and it wasn't for the space program, but during world war 2. Sending people into space is tremendously costly and serves very little purpose (other than pride) and there is almost nothing a human can do in space that a robot cannot do better, faster and cheaper.
@kev3d okay, one good purpose for space exploration is so that we can one day escape the planet and colonize other planets and star systems, to escape an otherwise inevitable doom when our star dies (or one of the many other ways our planet could become uninhabitable like comet impact or extreme pollution).
@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke To a degree, yes. But orbiting humans prepares for nothing of the sort; they just float there. In the centuries it will take to colonize, say, Mars or Ganymede or the Millenia that it will take to go beyond our solar system, there are issues to take care of here on earth. The Apollo program cost about as much as the interstate system; which benefits the average person more? Would you rather know the surface temperature of Venus? Or the cost of Milk?
@kev3d personally, the surface temperature of Venus! I think that even apparently useless deep understandings of the universe have a high value.
"Each year since 1976, NASA has published a list of every commercialized technology and product linked to its research. The NASA journal "Spinoff" highlights these products, which have included things like improved pacemakers, state of the art exercise machines and satellite radio. Each product was made possible thanks to a NASA idea or innovation."
@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke So what are you going to do with that knowledge of the Venerean temperature? Sow a better ear of corn? Built a better car? Cook a better meal? Between satisfying curiosity and feeding, housing, clothing and educating people, I choose the latter. There are some legitimate functions to exploring space, like detecting near Earth objects, but in the short term we have much bigger fish to fry.
@kev3d I'd use the information to speculate on the probability of life there, and whether it's colonizable. I just put a higher value on apparently useless knowledge than you :P
would you rather humanity discover the universe is teeming with intelligent life, or have a city on the other side of the world extend its border a mile, with new skyscrapers and stuff?
@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke Id rather have human choose their own fates, as much as possible, individually. If you want to pay for space exploration, be my guest. But if someone else wants to spent his money on developing better microchips or better potato chips then that ought to be his choice.
@kev3d okay good point and I started to put it in an earlier message of mine but didn't have space. I see the problem in spending tax dollars from everyone in special interest topics, there are many religious people out there who are convinced there can't be alien life, or just uninterested people, and it would be wrong to spend their tax dollars on technologically fruitless research.
what did you mean about Tunguska? they surely would agree that near earth objects pose a real current risk
@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke Because in 1908 Tunguska, Russia was struck by a shock wave from an exploding comet which flattened trees over an area over two and a half times larger than New York City with a destructive force equal to over a thousand Hiroshima Bombs. No one saw it coming. Luckily, very few people live in Siberia, so damage to structures and people was minimal. Had it hit a city; it would have been wiped off the map.
@kev3d I know, I ask why you bring it up because it opposes your position that near earth objects are only a long term risk and not worth spending money on in the foreseeable future
@kev3d also, NASA, I'd think there would be purposes for each mission. Even if it IS just to float about, they're experimenters of the science of space travel, a necessary baby step to becoming an interstellar civilization, itself necessary for long term survival.
Now we've come up with NEO's for short term survival usefulness.
It's right to spend money on cancer research even without full approval from the people, because it saves lives long term. Can't space travel experimentation be similar?
@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke I wrote. "There are some legitimate functions to exploring space, like detecting near Earth objects, but in the short term we have much bigger fish to fry. " The short term refers to ridiculous activities like manned spaceflight or figuring out what hot rocks on Venus look like.
@kev3d "Partnering with various research teams and companies, NASA continues to spawn a vast array of new technologies and products that have improved our daily lives. Basic steps in health, safety, communications and even casual entertainment find their roots in the government branch commonly associated with rocket ships and floating people. In fact, NASA has filed more than 6,300 patents" [source: NASA Scientific and Technical Information].
@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke Big deal, IBM has over 40,000 patents. NASA talks a good game because their funding depends on it. Many of NASA's "inventions" turn out to be modifications on preexisting technology. It is true that NASA dominated the satellite launching industry for the first decades of its existence; but this it no longer the case. Private companies do it better and cheaper.
@binxer5000 Doesn't take the future into account. Only 200 years ago, Los Angeles was empty grass land. Taking eternity into account, who knows if its too much or too little space. Especially if we were to eventually develop the kind of technology portrayed in the movie. Or looking at it another way, if the universe is INFINITE in size, is it then a waste of space?
That opening shot is brilliant. Very Carl Sagan. Before any statement is made about any plot point, or any character, it just lets you sit back and go "holy sh*t" in awe of the cosmos we live in, and gives you a fraction of an idea of how isolated we are. How immense space is.
Looking this intro scene how everything gets smaller and smaller you just realize how fuking big is universe,and thats just a micro fraction of a endless space..theres no end to it how does it works..its just crazy you can travel on and on forever and ever and theres no end..
Matthew Mcconaughey?!?I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THIS MOVIE AND I ALREADY HATE IT! MY BOYFRIEND IS MAKING ME WATCH IT. UGGGGHHH. "It's the greatest movie ever!" Yeah, we'll see about that....
Movies great to watch when smoking. It's of course an extreme possibility that there are other life out in the universe....what would they be like? Would they take a hit of my weed?
@qwertyduel Much further than that. It would have reached ~60 light years by now. Pluto is just ~9 light hours away, meaning the 1950s radio would have reached Pluto on the same day it was broadcast. The intro is quite misleading.
@chrisgrainger ---1950's "RADIO" waves travel at the "speed of sound "1088 feet per second. The "speed of light " is 186,000 miles per second,a BIG difference.in distance covered.Your calculations are misleading.Try again,OK ???????
@chrisgrainger ...Thanks,but it's the sound I speak of," radio waves" were the wrong words. The music and voices traveling on space?remain sound speed or speed up?????? Teach me something,please.
@billy1212ist hey GENIUS, radio waves are a part of the electro magnetic spectrum and travel at the speed of light in the vacuum of space and requires NO MEDIUM. sound waves on the other hand require a MEDIUM to travel in. next time do some research BEFORE opening your mouth and inserting your walking appendage.
@SocratesTheGadfly - Well thanks ! How about I insert the tip of that walking appendage in your asc,and rotate it at the speed of sound,OOP's hit some blockage.The "radio waves/sound" in the beginning going out into space.So it is just the sound,of the radio programming,NOT radio waves.This is what I mean,those broadcasts on the radio travel at 1088 fps? when a song hits the vacuum of space does it speed up to light speed,or remain constant? with colors I am a generous genius on canvas.Advise.
@billy1212ist WOW someone gets easily offended? maybe I should not answer your questions and let you ponder the explanations of how the real world works for yourself.
@SocratesTheGadfly -Easily offended?You say that to make your:Hay Genius,..do some research before,..inserting your walking appendage,..Seem like they are less then,a young punk acting fresh,seems someone else answered nicely,but NOT YOU.Your young,and THINK that YOU are REALLY SMART,well good for you,I don't need your mouth and all that emenates from within it,stay away from me,a pox on you..Now YOU'RE not going to tell me of the "real world"?Thanks,I'll ponder without your two grey cells.
@SocratesTheGadfly -V=331.4+0.6 Tc (speed of sound in a vavuum,Google).In a vacuum lights' speed is 669,600,000 MPH roughly 870,000 faster than sound. See" TeenTheGadfly " you are really NOT NEEDED.
@billy1212ist stating facts by looking something up in google does NOT make one smart. such things do NOT explain how sound can travel in the vacuum of space as shown in this movie. can you figure that one out?
@SocratesTheGadfly........Be it "BOOKS" or Google, or School,it is attaining information.This is how one learns.Or does not understand,and tries a different avenue.I looked up,Sound in a vacuum??Besides the speed thing,the sound moving past the planets,then solar system,then into the galaxy.Is it misleading?If you need a medium,for sound to be sound,as in sound waves,as you have stated,you would not hear it.Is that figured out?
@SocratesTheGadfly Sound can't travel in the vacuum of space..But radio waves does...(Radio waves can travel in the vacuum of space) ... And it is what this movie shows..! ...It's not about sound, guys ... it's about radiowave comunications, the way we all comunicate today..you know... tv, radio, cellphones.. ;) ...Those weird things that people normally don't understand. :p
@cjtp as a Professional Electrical Engineer I already know such facts and I was trying to explain it to billy but apparently he/she/it does not have ANY science background or understanding.
Thank you so much for posting this movie. My tears are mingling with my smiles. This movie always makes me think of my father. Much respect and love for you, my friend. Take care. :)
Minus the giant swarming galaxy wormhole thing above her & it being slightly trippy yeah.......was pretty much the same thing, i suppose it was Carls way of getting us to ponder if what she had was a religious/hallucination or scientific experience
During that final scene with David Morse you can hear her whisper the name "Pensacola", after she speaks of them downloading her memories. You know, the scene that makes normal people cry, while all the other pea-brained dipshits complained about the aliens not having tentacles and fangs and stuff? :D
@Xemnaes369 the whole idea behind it and meeting her in her father's image was actually deliberate so she does not panic in an unfamiliar environment at that point. it was a deeply psychological and emotional connection that was supposed to be established i think.
@MsCedel *I watch it over and over again*.186 miles per SECOND,fast huh ?Now try 186,000 Miles per SECOND.Speed of light,quicker?For a year,every second you go 186,000 miles deeper into space.Now a BILLION years(counted as a YEAR per SECOND,on a clock,would take 32 years.)Now,100,Billion Years,as in the intro,just look at us.And in this wonderment,we kill each other?We scare the UFO's away.Humans,apes in suits,and thats being complementary.Made from space dust,we are the Universe.

@qwertyduel i agree that opening sequence really got me thinking
just imagining that the original recordings could be heard wayyy out in space is amazing
Mrlegonerd2point0 7 months ago
@qwertyduel Much further than that. It would have reached ~60 light years by now. Pluto is just ~9 light hours away, meaning the 1950s radio would have reached Pluto on the same day it was broadcast. The intro is quite misleading.

@chrisgrainger ---1950's "RADIO" waves travel at the "speed of sound "1088 feet per second. The "speed of light " is 186,000 miles per second,a BIG difference.in distance covered.Your calculations are misleading.Try again,OK ???????

@billy1212ist Radio waves are EM radiation, which travels at the speed of light not the speed of sound.

@chrisgrainger ...Thanks,but it's the sound I speak of," radio waves" were the wrong words. The music and voices traveling on space?remain sound speed or speed up?????? Teach me something,please.
billy1212ist 6 months ago
@billy1212ist hey GENIUS, radio waves are a part of the electro magnetic spectrum and travel at the speed of light in the vacuum of space and requires NO MEDIUM. sound waves on the other hand require a MEDIUM to travel in. next time do some research BEFORE opening your mouth and inserting your walking appendage.

@SocratesTheGadfly - Well thanks ! How about I insert the tip of that walking appendage in your asc,and rotate it at the speed of sound,OOP's hit some blockage.The "radio waves/sound" in the beginning going out into space.So it is just the sound,of the radio programming,NOT radio waves.This is what I mean,those broadcasts on the radio travel at 1088 fps? when a song hits the vacuum of space does it speed up to light speed,or remain constant? with colors I am a generous genius on canvas.Advise.

@SocratesTheGadfly -V=331.4+0.6 Tc (speed of sound in a vavuum,Google).In a vacuum lights' speed is 669,600,000 MPH roughly 870,000 faster than sound. See" TeenTheGadfly " you are really NOT NEEDED.
billy1212ist 6 months ago
@billy1212ist stating facts by looking something up in google does NOT make one smart. such things do NOT explain how sound can travel in the vacuum of space as shown in this movie. can you figure that one out?

@SocratesTheGadfly........Be it "BOOKS" or Google, or School,it is attaining information.This is how one learns.Or does not understand,and tries a different avenue.I looked up,Sound in a vacuum??Besides the speed thing,the sound moving past the planets,then solar system,then into the galaxy.Is it misleading?If you need a medium,for sound to be sound,as in sound waves,as you have stated,you would not hear it.Is that figured out?
billy1212ist 6 months ago
@SocratesTheGadfly Sound can't travel in the vacuum of space..But radio waves does...(Radio waves can travel in the vacuum of space) ... And it is what this movie shows..! ...It's not about sound, guys ... it's about radiowave comunications, the way we all comunicate today..you know... tv, radio, cellphones.. ;) ...Those weird things that people normally don't understand. :p

During that final scene with David Morse you can hear her whisper the name "Pensacola", after she speaks of them downloading her memories. You know, the scene that makes normal people cry, while all the other pea-brained dipshits complained about the aliens not having tentacles and fangs and stuff? :D
pablo229pablo229 7 months ago
@Xemnaes369 the whole idea behind it and meeting her in her father's image was actually deliberate so she does not panic in an unfamiliar environment at that point. it was a deeply psychological and emotional connection that was supposed to be established i think.

@Xemnaes369 That's because the alien entered her mind and took her thoughts. That's why we see the alien as her dad.
