    Very nice vid. Peter sounds great!

    Sadly I'm very concerned about the future of space exploration. Didn't NASA's budget get cut again? Ugh!

    Space exploration budgets go up and down per administration.

    Other facets of NASA's budget go up yearly. The Satellite Servicing and GOES budgets, for example, are fine because their benefits appeal to the short-sighted nature of congressmen/women and senators whose states have no vested interested in NASA or our accomplishments.

    Great video. I showed it to my students in 6th and 7th grade, and they were all happy because half of them instantly recognized the voice, and then they told the ones who didn't. On an related note, to change up a lot of the negativity that shows up on here from time to time, It's an extremely cool feeling to be a teacher at 33 and seeing kids instantly recognize Optimus Prime's voice and get excited as I did in 2nd Grade when a teacher showed a picture of him. Who knew 25 years ago man what a toyline would become, huh?

    That voice and the context of the narration were wonderful.

    They're supposed to be reconsidering the vehicles to get to Space. Shuttles running on technology from the 60's & 70's are inefficient & have safety problems.

    They're looking back at the design that puts the astronauts on the tip w/ all the boosters underneath it again.

    One of the Presidential Candidates is saying he wants a Moon Base soon.

    Reminded me of the original Voltron narration too. I hope they bring Peter back to do the Live Action versions!

    Cullen's getting old, hurry and clone him before it's too late.

    If Toonami still existed today, it would've been cool for this to be on there during a long commercial break - having "The Big Guy" present this video for TOM and the viewers.

    ..that score brings a tear to my eye every time...played it today in the car while traveling...that would have been a perfect background theme to Peter's narration too but the one they used was a pretty nice one.

    AMEN!! :bowdown: 


    Too true, he does,FLZ...I think the biggest cuts were the shuttle program...but they still have some other projects...depending on budgets in the future.
