Molly: So what's next? NASA will continue to raise the bar as it further expands our understanding of the solar system around us as well as our place within it. Dr. Jim Garvin: We have flown by. We've orbited. We've landed. We've roved. And we have returned samples. Dr. Michael Mumma: We have come so far in our understanding, and yet we have so far to go. There's so many questions we don't have answers to yet. 07/15/2013 08:00 PM EDT Dr. Jim Garvin: The next wave of discovery and beyond Mars was the outer planets. Lindley Johnson: Pioneer 10 and pioneer 11 were, you know, the first two spacecraft to actually cross the asteroid belt. Dr. James Green: Our first foray into the outer planets. Dr. Jim Garvin: We were able to go and see these gas giant worlds for the first time by actually being there. What the mission did was not solve all the questions. What it did was, it raised the right ones to ask next. 07/14/2013 08:00 PM EDT Caleb: If you want to look back in time to the beginning of our solar system, look no further than comets and asteroids. Molly: These solar system time capsules have been giving away secrets of not only how our solar system formed, but also the planets that call it home. Dr. Paul Chodas: What are the materials that form the solar system? What did it look like originally? Lindley Johnson: Asteroids and comets are the leftover material that made up the solar system. 07/11/2013 08:00 PM EDT Caleb: It turns out what we discover ends up leading us to new questions. Molly: The Mariner 4 mission was the first to take us to mars, and doing so, changed everything we thought we knew about the red planet. Dr. Jim Garvin: There is this mystery of mars. Mars is unavoidably special. Dr. Nicky Fox: The red planet, it's so often visible in the sky that, you know, you feel like it's just over there. Dr. Ralph McNutt: Mars has been subject of a lot of speculation for a long number of years. 07/10/2013 08:00 PM EDT [upbeat electronic music] Molly: 50 years of exploration. Caleb: 50 years of discovery. Molly: 50 years of innovation. Caleb: 50 years of breaking boundaries. Molly: I'm Molly Mckinney. Caleb: And I'm Caleb Kinchlow. Molly: Join us as NASA 360 presents: "I Love the Solar System..." Caleb: …A look back at 50 years of solar system exploration. We're all used to seeing incredible images from our cosmic backyard: neighboring planets, their moons, comets, and asteroids.
