The 80-second clip above captures a rocket launch, something of which we've all seen footage at one time or another. What makes its viewers call it 'the greatest shot in television' still today, 45 years after it first aired, may take more than one viewing to notice.
That and his other one, The Day the Universe Changed (great 1st episode btw, very existential dread).
Cosmos.
NOVA
Other PBS series as well.
Why don’t we have this now? I used to say they weren’t needed as much because we had the internet and everything right there, but lately the internet sucks worse than not having any of it. That’s such a first world problem statement to say, but when it’s 90%+ low content garbage and the search engines are crap now… how do you find the good stuff?
The Nature of Things has been rocking that format for 60 years. CBC show. Segments and maybe whole shows available on youtube, or if Canadian, in the app.
