On a dry lakebed in Nevada, a group of friends build the first scale model of the solar system with complete planetary orbits: a true illustration of our place in the universe. A film by Wylie Overstreet and Alex Gorosh.

I was intrigued by this attempt to depict the relative distances of worlds in our solar system - but why no Pluto ?! Because it is a mere dwarf-planet ? Surely this belittles the recent astounding feat of the New Horizons flypast of the most distant world ? The fact that there was not even a reason given is sloppy. Patronising pseudo-science wrapped in a feelgood video.
