Nasa Spacecraft DAWN now in orbit around dwarf planet Vesta [NEW IMAGES 17.07.2011]

[metalhanded]

damn philistines!

Genius people build a space camera that can travel thousands and thousands or mph through freezing space hundreds of degrees below zero and slingshot around Mars (think of it like roller derby where a pivot whips her jammer) into the asteroid belt and finds a single object out of billions, without hitting any of them, then settle n2 orbit and photograph the whole thing in full detail b4 moving on to photo an even bigger body.

if "Photo Vesta" was an ipad app u'd b more n2 it.

[hawkermustang]

Its not a planet.

[pr0szefu]

WOW, a rock... srsly

[concious2]

Why are they being called dwarf planets?

[trygve555]

@concious2 Because they are small.

[StevieNichts]

Hey, d00ds - why don't you post your scientific creds before mouthing off? And why don't you post under your real names? Or would that be too embarrassing for you "rocket scientists"?

[AizenSamaKingX]

@astrophonix Ok, "asshole." Have a hellish life. I'm not a "conspiracy nut." Also, the idea from Deep Impact was from another video. I see you have it all figured out. If it happens, too bad for you. If it doesn't happen. excellent. There is no need for you to be another hater and naysayer. Grow up.

[Zagexi]

Oh know we've come out of hyperspace into an asteroid field

[Neton16]

looks like the shit I have taken yesterday

[klwibaddie]

This satellite will most likely get destroyed in the Asteroid Belt.

where u get this sound track?

[fishcomputer33]

This song is pretty rad ;)

[TurboLoveTrain]

Should have started with Ceres :(

[GameDoctor21]

lol this was UFo few days ago

[roohmz1000]

Why do people think we like listening to music like this?

[hadlock]

NASA needs to hire you to do all their videos. This is way more exciting than anything NASA has produced.

[cvelizh]

so is this good or bad? :(

[theChillDude]

Nothing makes me fear for the future of humanity more then reading youTube comments (well maybe aside from the comments in Yahoo News). Great video, ignore the nutters and thanks for uploading.

[roddieratsafrats]

@theChillDude I hear ya, Chill. If dogshit could talk, it would sound like the average YouTube troglodyte. Except maybe smarter.

[theeAlphaOne]

@theChillDude : I would like to second that notion if I may , and I may so I will . :)

[takethat925]

This is a billion dollar photoshop job.

I'd expect better.

[roddieratsafrats]

@takethat925 That's because Hollywood fantasy and CGI ruined the real world for you. No worries though: you always kill yourself if you get too bored.

[durbinpoison775]

Millions of dollars for a few shitty pictures. I am surprised that our technology did not give us better pictures. We need to expect more from NASA.

[kenhes]

@durbinpoison775 How much better do you want a picture to be than @ 0:52? And they're not only taking pretty pictures. Plenty online to educate yourself with.

[roddieratsafrats]

@durbinpoison775 "Our technology." I hear that all the time, from the legions of dumb apes who are riding into the far flung future, poking at their iphones courtesy of the smart apes. And bellyaching about shitty NASA photographs, when you probably couldn't even make a model rocket work right, yourself.

[AizenSamaKingX]

Those who are imbecilic naysayers should comprehend that this "dwarf planet" "Ceres" is planet Nibiru. It's about time you government-believers wake up and smell the violet roses. This asteroid Vesta is probably asteroid 2005 yu55. Please do some research. Also, when you see a second sun in the sky, another planet, it is NOT a supernova called betelgeuse. That is INASA (Inner NASA) with mores lies. Seriously, humans. Wake up. Research Nibiru, Elenin, Levy, Honda, and asteroid 2005 yu55.

[kenhes]

@AizenSamaKingX Shouldn't Nibiru be getting close to earth by now? And I guess it's shrunk to 600 miles in diameter.

[AizenSamaKingX]

@kenhes Yes, it is now behind the sun. Two ships are monitoring it's trajectory as it gets closer. They will begin the process of slowing it down. The Krulians, if I remember correctly. Notice how these same events transpired in the movie "Deep Impact." Did you notice how NASA mentioned the next mission is to visit Ceres, a "dwarf" planet. NASA places this information directly in your face, and you still don't get it. Yes, Elenin is effecting tectonic plates when it aligns.

[kenhes]

@AizenSamaKingX I wouldn't call being scientifically accurate since 1801 "in your face". Watch out for the alien behind you!!!

[AizenSamaKingX]

@kenhes I am watching daily. I thank you for the warning.

[djselbeck]

Nice video, can you tell me what's the name of the song?

[djselbeck]

@djselbeck ok I got it, its Airlock - Radioactive Man

[neonshoji]

Simply amazing.
