Space exploration & spaceflight Videos Recommended on Hacker News (164)
Space exploration & spaceflight is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 164 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2008 and 2026 — 376 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Space exploration: NASA, SpaceX, Starship, rockets, Apollo, Mars missions, JWST, space stations, satellites, orbital mechanics, Carl Sagan, Kerbal-style explainers, space policy.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on Light Years Ahead | The 1969 Apollo Guidance Computer: “The guy is really, really into it and it just makes the presentation amazing.” — an HN commenter, 2022.
