The 100 Year Journey to Proxima Centauri B (Sci-Fi Documentary)

Sounds like it was written and imaged by AI…with 'inputs'. As a side, I hope humans never leave to 'exploit' another planet.

This was a fun sci-fi adventure, and I appreciate the time and effort it took to put it all together.

But… the idea here is to squash 1800 people onto a ship on a one-way trip to a place none of them will ever live to see? Meanwhile, they will have to live under strict guidelines for what they can do, how many kids they can have, what jobs they can do, and they'll never be able to go "outside"?

Can't see how this would possibly fail. My guess is everyone goes nuts within about 90 days and we get something like "The Event Horizon". The angsty teenagers alone will demand they go back home so they can get out of their parents' "house".

I just really don't see us traversing the stars to other planets, especially if our only motivation is "for the good of all mankind." That level of reasoning is good enough to unite us without major quarrels for…. mmm… maybe a few years at most? I have a feeling that once new generations started to grow up, they'd be upset with their elders for having forced them onto this one-way journey and depriving them of all the good things on Earth. And there would be politics, divisions, disagreement, etc. Just because one group starts off with "this is our goal and we all will cooperate" doesn't mean it stays that way. The new generations would likely fracture, rebel, and come up with their own plans. I could see them 30 years out and the young people overthrow whoever the 'command structure' is and turning the ship around so they could at least get back to Earth before they die without ever seeing it. There would be some major anger from the generation that is doomed to be born and die in space, never setting foot on either planet.

But let's pretend they do succeed. They get to a new planet. Are they still really part of the human race in a meaningful sense? They have evolved new characteristics, new traits, new bacteria, and a totally difference experience from anything anyone back home had. Genetically, they may still be related, but from a practical view, they share almost nothing else in common with those on Earth. Even if Earth is destroyed, they won't know it for 4+ years when the communication flow stops.

This actually made me think of the 2016 movie 'Passengers' w Jennifer Lawrence. Good movie if you've not seen it.

It would be crazy if we actually came from there thousands of years ago

By the time they get back Earth will have no life except bacteria fungus and algae 😢

What cult are you from, Venture City? How much is the spiritual contribution? 🤔😵‍💫🤪

uncanny valley all over

Better to send humanoids..

if you cant get there in under 20 years,….dont go.
anything OVER 20 years and its probable we will have invented the tech to pass them before they get there.

what abouth a police in the ship? what religion ? many things need to takeinto consideration

Better use movie scenes than this ai shit

Visions of a blind man… Machines will be the best option, not people.

This deserves another episode 🎉❤

beautifull ! I wish there was a next episode

And just as they are about to arrive…the Helio X2 arrives via warp drive (developed on earth over the last 80 years) and scoops them of their being first. 😉

Да не полетят они так. Не будут они жить на корабле как колония. Спать будут (замороженными в капсулах) или будут посланы эмбрионы. Режиссеры в фильмах сочиняют бредятину прост. Надо тип интригу создать чтоб люди смотрели.

Sounds like a one way ticket to Hell…

But by the time they send that message announcing their arrival, they receive an autoreply message that the Earth Global Government has had several changes in administration since their last contact and the budget for the Proxima Centauri B project was de-funded 23 years before. Earth says it is sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

look at jean pierre petit janus model and you wont need such spacecraft…

What if when you get there , there's more advanced civilization and they look at us like monkeys and throw put us in a lab in a cage for research 😂😂😂

I would rather died than travel to some fuckin unknown planet!!!! you fuckin people are sick in the head!!! I enjoy seeing what I see everyday

The point about the sending of the message taking 4.24 years to arrive on earth is the simplest way of understanding all the talk about seeing into the past when astro folk talk about light from far off suns etc. So "hi it's me, we've made it" is history as it happened 4 year ago. Great video x

Then as soon as they landed, their technology will be 100 years old compared to earth's technology
