The Planets (BBC, TV miniseries)

A great deal of you probably remembers this series aired at the end of 20th century.

I just wanted to introduce it to younger viewers and those who missed it because it was made right before the boom of extrasolar planets and Kuiper belt objects. It's not obsolete, but it offers a nice historical insight. It's also very informative. A book was published following the mini series. It was pretty huge with nice color images.

I can only recommend it for everyone into planetary geology and Solar system exploration.

Is it that one where they're in the ship? I LOVED that! So cool at the Venus part.

I really like this oldie and in fact I started playing KSP inspired by it.

Looks really cool, wasn't around for it.

Yukon, that's good to hear.

Nah, that's an entirely different thing. This is a popular science documentary, not a science fiction series.

I'm watching this again after a long time. Just about to start episode 3.

Kaboom, you're thinking of "space odyssey: voyage to the planets." And yes, that one is awesome.
