Where to download the Voyager spacecraft documentary?

#1 Post by Mike Walsh »

Afternoon, all.

Now; perhaps some of you can help with this request. Or there again, maybe not...

I would like to watch the 2017 documentary about the Voyager spacecraft's incredible journey, entitled "The Farthest". It was originally on NetFlix, 3 years ago, but at that time I didn't have a NetFlix a/c, and wasn't aware of it. I've just been reading about them on ExtremeTech, and how after 43 years, and nearly 24.5 billion miles travelled between the two probes, they're still operational.....although it does now take something like a 3-day 'round trip' to send commands to them, and to obtain a response!

Hardly suprising, given that Voyager 1, the first to leave the solar system around 8 years ago, is now something like a quarter of the way to Alpha Centauri..... Unbelievable, given that this was 70's 'tech'.

I've been exploring download links of all sorts over the last 2 or 3 hours, but without fail they all end up in dead ends, or 're-possessed' or 'hijacked' web-sites.

Does anybody happen to know, or be aware of, a reliable link from where I could obtain a copy? Mike would be eternally grateful if any of you could 'help out' with this one..! :D


Mike. :wink:

NASA has a few videos about Voyager.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Here is a streaming version.

I assume you could download it with one of the video download addons, if not, post back and I can probably do it for you and post it on drop box.

Thanks for that, Dan..!

Ally found me a copy on Mega (NZ) after a fairly convoluted search, but then he's rather more used to some of the obscure search paradigms required to find things than I am.

I'll keep a hold of your link, though; these things come and go, and I'm a great believer in multiple redundancy..!

Thanks for looking, mate.


Mike. :)
