Whilst in COVID exile I stumbled across a Horizon documentary on BBC iPlayer Hubble: The Wonders of Space Revealed yesterday

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000hjpw/horizon-2020-hubble-the-wonders-of-space-revealed

Made in 2020 for the 30th anniversary of Hubble, this tells the story of the orbiting telescope through the astronauts and scientists who launched and maintained it via a number of space shuttle missions, culminating in the most recent service and upgrade of ultra sensitive and long range cameras. Some of the images and details of far, far distant galaxies are just mind blowing

You don't have to be a geek or a scientist to appreciate this (luckily/unluckily? I'm neither) but it really is well worth look, and is both accessible and inspiring at the same time

Catch it quickly though as it's only up for another 13 days - definitely recommended


This is indeed a great watch. I love Horizon programmes, always something worth watching.
If you like your space docs (lol) this is also brilliant. It's the story of Voyager from Storyville: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09gvnty

Thanks Runyak - agreed, that was something very special - a real testament to vision, invention and persistence

Indeed.
This is us 32 years ago as seen from 4 Billion miles away by Voyager 1.

That's here.
That's home.
That's us."

Voyager 1 is over 14 Billion miles away from Earth now...

I've just started watching Succession and a few episodes in, I'm genuinely thinking this is just a darker version of Arrested Development.
The storyline (well, the basic premise) is identical and you can even match the characters in each family up perfectly.
I keep expecting Gob to appear with a shit magic trick at any moment :lol:

Also, the camera work is very annoying even if it's done in an ironic way.

Have you watched Arrested Development?
Seriously, it's impossible to separate the two shows :lol:
