The computer graphics in this show are amazing.

I hadn't heard that Clyde T. was (partly) on his way to Pluto on board New Horizons! Go for it, Clyde!

[Ric]

I hate it when shows like that come to an end.

A few more episodes would not go astray.

A brilliant series.

I enjoyed the way they ended the show. not just there is pluto and its moons, sending a probe there, and a belt of rocks and thanks for watching. They went into the detail of what is beyond. Which is great for the imagination.

[sejanus (Gavin)]

I'll be grabbing that bluray.

I got a bit excited when I saw New Horizons featured the other night.

yes that was an awsome series, very well done and very up to date Will be adding that DVD box set to my collection I felt kinda sad that it is finished could have watched heaps more I think i learnt something new in every episode
And how kool is that to have Clyde's ashes sent off to Pluto on the New Horizons wow that brought a tear to my eye (bring on 2015)

It was a fantastic series and I especially enjoyed the last episode. I'm reading a biography on Clyde Tombaugh at the moment so I was very interested to hear that he's on his way to the planet he discovered (brought a small tear to my eye too Jen). I can't wait to see the first images of Pluto. A great series and definitely one for the collection.

I know one thing, I loved the shows. I've only seen 2 shows, but pretty awesome.
But I was disappointed to hear at the end, "And that was the final show".....argh!

[mswhin63 (Malcolm)]

I will buy the DVD (Bluray) when it comes out.

Nice to have a series like this produced by someone other than Discovery or Nat Geo. Those two tend to hype-up the dialogue and sound effects, and that which should be factual ends up being overblown, dramatically ridiculous and frankly embarrassing.

The narration here was calm, light and comfortable, yet to the point and all without the silly fanfare. Well done - especially to the narrator. I'll certainly be looking out for the series on iTunes or DVD.

Hi Omaroo

You can download the series free from the abc website if you are interested

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

Cheers Warren. I'm downloading the MP4 versions, but will probably still buy the full HD set.

[starlooker (Duc)]

On the ABC website, I can only find the links to download episode 5 & 6.

Theres a link to a video podcast, but I have no experience with it. Can you save a video podcast to the computer?

[Mountain_Wanderer]
