The wild blue yonder
This is my story.
Now, this is my story.
I come from the outer reaches of Andromeda.
Imagine:
planet Earth,the Solar System, the Milky Way...
your galaxy.
I come from another galaxy.
A blue one. Way, way beyond your world.
Where I come from,
is the Wild Blue Yonder
Our star was dying.
It was like an ice age, but much more severe.
We had to move, we had to leave.
Whole armade of spaceships set out
and they all dispersed into the universe.
I don't know where they are.
I guess they're all lost.
A few made it to your planet,
planet Earth.
A few of us arrived earlier.
It was a few minutes of our time
but on the Earth time it was a hundred years too early.
They came in out of the sky and man!
Were they greeted!
What happened to them after
that - I don't know.
But it was not all great on this planet.
We got homesick
and desperate.
One of us tried to commit suicide.
He was spared.
You know, our great-great...-grandfathers
were fine scientists.
But the journey was long and boring.
And when we got here
hundreds and hundreds of years later
those of us who arrived here
just sucked.
I came in with the third group.
And we had a lot of big plans.
We knew we had to make a big impression,
so we decided to build this capital city,
one that would rival D.C.
This...
this looked great, because
two train lines
converge right here.
Over here, we made this to be the mall,
the main shopping center.
And over here was to be the supreme court.
And over here was to be congress.
And down there the pentagon.
And way way way at the end there...
was the great Andromeda memorial.
Nobody came, nobody settled,
nobody shopped.
You see aliens as
these technologicaly advanced superbeings,
who destroy NYC in two minutes flat.
Well, I hate to say this,
but we, aliens, all
suck.
Look.
The failures.
Look. D.C.
I guess we're just failures.
This whole thing makes me sad.
Really makes me sad.
Our only success story was the man who
used his knowledge of the sky
and flying machines.
He became chairman of the strategic
planning commitee at the pentagon.
With great respect it might be said
that aviation itself served very small part
in the result of the WW I conflict.
However, it then proved itself,
that is, it was easily recognised
that with proper equipment and another time
aviation might become
a real instrument of military warfare.
First, I thought I was going places,
as I was accepted into CIA,
but I found nothing there, but a bunch
of people only interested in their careers.
I never got promoted. I kept trying to tell them, that
l knew some things, that I knew quite some things
but they wouldn't listen.
And that made me very angry.
So now, I stand before you,
ready to tell all.
I was involved in the Rosswell recovery.
When that thing landed 50 years ago,
they didn't know what it was
so they stashed it in some silo
underground, and they kept lying
that it was just some media invention.
Now comes this.
50 years later they dig it up.
And they decide, with the help of advanced technology,
that they are going to take another look.
That was a big mistake.
They should not have done that.
From the start, that convoy had a very ominous feel to it.
They shut out the world.
No press, no tv cameras,
no photos. This film is the only record
which they made for their secret files.
What happened there had
a far reaching consequences
and you don't even know about it.
Everything was hermetically sealed.
Man, it was ultra-clean in there,
toxic waste outfits for the men,
even the truck was sealed in plastic.
They had a hunch that something
dangerous might be lurking.
What they didn't know was that it
came from our planet.
It was one of our probes we sent
ahead of our armade.
attached to it.
Life that was unknown on planet Earth.
And what they also didn't know
was that while they filmed this here
something was seeping out.
Invisible. Secret.
Potentionally lethal.
Seeping into the few patches of bare skin.
carry it out into the world.
They scrambled the quarantine
and they barely succeeded
And there was panic.
So they hatched the secret plot.
They sent out a group of astronauts.
Their mission:
find a hospitable placeout there for human habitation.
Like something, anything
that could be the alternative to Earth.
The astronauts were told that
to the boundaries of our solar system.
But noone could have foretold them
larger, more ominous voyage have they had.
It would turn out to be some sort of
a one-way ticket.
And this is the film record transmitted
back to Mission Control.
It has been kept locked away
all these years.
As time dragged on they were
still cautiously orbiting planet Earth
The mission was going nowhere.
They needed a way to reach further.
The ground crew encouraged this
even thought the spread
of the alien microbes turned out
to be not such a big deal.
It was mostly contained.
Still. They wanted the
astronauts to keep going.
To find the safe heaven
just in case.
They were in for a rude awakening.
They didn't know how
hostile it was out there.
See, I could've told them.
I know all about it.
The astronauts decided
to send out a space probe
of the solar system.
It could radio back images
from the planets it encountered.
They waited weeks.
They waited months.
And then these images came back.
Images that proved that there was no
hospitable place anywhere nearby.
It was clear now that there
was nothing nearby.
On the ground they knew they
needed a bolder plan
a trip beyond our
immediate horizonts.
For the mathematicians it was
only a question of a different trajectory.
change, that is the zero.
This velocity thing says that this
derivative comes out to be vdelta v.
It just required the gravity assist from Venus
and a fly-by of Jupiter.
It looked doable.
If we look at our
standard v equation
the key is going to be getting the right
v infinity of Venus.
We are still going to need enough
performance from the spacecraft
so that we can go below the orbit of Venus.
And also that the v infinity of Venus is high enough
that when we have to come up with the velocity needed
to get us on up to Jupiter that that will work.
to look at leaving the solar system.
For example this is the Sun.
Instead of thinking of this being a fixed
plane with the Sun in the center
and the Earth going around.
Let's just draw an axis
and rotate the plane with the Earth
so now the Earth looks like it is fixed.
Now we are working in a rotating system.
In this rotating system
if we have a little spacecraft,
an intender or whatever.
Moving around, it has got
