NASA - The Frontier Is Everywhere

NASA - The Frontier Is Everywhere. A NASA promo video made by a fan. Narration edit and music taken from an older video, though the words are obviously originally by Carl Sagan, from A Pale Blue Dot (previously).
Bonus Sagan: Ann Druyan talks about selecting the music to be put on the Voyager spacecrafts, and how she and Carl Sagan fell in love. (This is the Radiolab segment that made me a lifelong fan.)

Crowdsource promo video for NASA - great idea
Several minutes of Earth - nothing to do with NASA

Man, I miss Carl Sagan.
Me too. Cosmos is usually on heavy rotation around these parts.

To be fair, Earth Science (via satellite imagery) has been a central part of NASA's mission from inception. But yes, there's lots of sexier video out there, much of it produced by NASA.

Nice video. NASA really needs to do a better job of promoting itself and reminding people of its mission of exploration and progress. Of all the things the US Government does, NASA is one of the few federal agencies that truly inspires people.

Except lowering taxes and slashing Federal budgets.
