Wanderers - You REALLY Need To Watch This

[Airlock]

Wanderers - a breathtaking and epic short film by Erik Wernquist. Just wanted to share it with you all, enjoy!

"Wanderers is a vision of humanity's expansion into the Solar System, based on scientific ideas and concepts of what our future in space might look like, if it ever happens. The locations depicted in the film are digital recreations of actual places in the Solar System, built from real photos and map data where available."

Wow. It really took my breath away. Recognized most of the locations.

[Whirligig Girl]

I'm pretty sure one of those locations was just the wormhole station from Interstellar.

(Or at least an O'Neil Cylinder)

please tell me this is based on something we can actually do with our current tech fairly soon....

Why isn't this on YouTube?

[Voidryder]

Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing.

Why isn't this on YouTube?

Vimeo is considered by some to be a "classier" repository of videos than You Tube and is preferred by many artists. One indication that this may be true is the general contrast in tone and quality of the comments below videos at each site.

Wow, that video is just awesome!

[Bill Phil]

It's interesting. I would like this future to happen, although I don't know about random words floating through space....

[Dartguy]

Very moving, thanks!!

[The Yellow Dart]

FLIPPING AWESOME!!! And in the truest sense of the word awesome, too! I was excited when I realized that the Mars dirigible scene is at one of my computer's wallpapers!

It does ignore the deadly radiation that would kill you in seconds in such close vicinity of the gas giants, but it is certainly beautiful and inspiring.

This movie is so incredible. I really hope spaceflight eva

eventually works out like this and we're around to see it.

[Helix935]

Damn that is epic, Gotta go dream about space again

A little random poem I wrote under inspiration from Wanderers and Interstellar.

It got pretty popular on FB.

Do not be pulled down by the soft and warm

Head out into the dark and cold

No matter how scared you are

You will always be drawn

To the unknown

Beautiful short film - but full of glaring scientific inaccuracies. Anything with Carl Sagan is always cool.
