Do you remember the last time NASA put out an interesting video? Me neither. This is why Youtube user “damewse” created the following montage, including voice over by Carl Sagan from “The Pale Blue Dot”. It is meant to push our imaginations about what is possible, and what the future might hold for our species. The video does what NASA seems unable to do recently; inspire a new generation of space explorers. Video after the break.

“I got frustrated with NASA and made this video. NASA is the most fascinating, adventurous, epic institution ever devised by human beings, and their media sucks. Seriously. None of their brilliant scientists appear to know how to connect with the social media crowd, which is now more important than ever. In fact, NASA is an institution whose funding directly depends on how the public views them.” – damewse
