Becoming an Interstellar Species

[@Meowingtiger]

My biggest question after watching this show for a few years now: How can a guy with limited budget make so much more interesting and informative documentaries than the big tv and film makers out there? Well done and happy new year!

Passion, mostly. He doesn't do this for money, he did it for no money for years. The fact he gets money for doing these videos is just icing on the cake.

[@minhducnguyen674]

Also because this is KZbin, you can attract audiences who are actually interested in the topic. Making good documentary on television is useless if the average person only care about celebrities drama.

That speech at the end really touched me. 2020 has been a very hard year for me, with isolation, depression, unemployment, and the mother of all existential crises.

​@@artsofthewood5748 I thought so too. Then I graduated with my M.S. in physics and couldn't get a job. Turns out hirers don't care if you know science, they care if you have skills.

It's important for us to do research on genetics in order to understand it's potential, it's danger and application, keeping the research to rats and mice will hold us back. I'm not advocating for doing genetic tests willy nilly, but with a good plan and risk calculation, it should be possible and acceptable. For god sake, we put people in a super dangerous rocket 60 years ago to prove we could go to the moon, so why is doing genetic research on humans so strange for so many.

[@someguycalledcerberus9805]

Agreed on 2020 turning out to be a net positive. I work in IT, so all this year meant for me is that I had to work from home, which was honestly an absolute win for me. But beyond myself, I hope that many companies realised how easy and efficient it is to have people work from home, which will hopefully mean they start doing it a lot more. And the spread of tele-working might finally end the run-away urbanisation spiral we got ourselves into, resulting in an overall increase in quality of life.

[@mitchh3092]

Man, your videos are actually some lonely islands of shining hope in a sea of despair.

Can we just send some big piece of iron with a mirror behind to sweep the road, and then send our ship? Or maybe just turn the beam on, keep it on for a few days, then send our ship? It should accelerate the space dust enough not to be a problem for our ship.

[@Zarcondeegrissom]

that stuff was discussed some time back, and yeah, a laser highway would have stations along the path responsible for keeping its section of laser highway clear of debris. as for sails ahead of the ship to 'catch' the dust for the ship, again discussed. think it was "Interstellar Travel Challenges". kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWelgoadnsmVo8U the downside of pushing the dust at your destination with the ship pushing laser, is now that dust is moving in the direction of the place you 'wanted' to visit, lol. easy enough to push the dust to the side or vaporize it, esp with a laser highway station along the route. with a solo pushing laser back at the origin system, there is also the diminishing effect with distance as even the most focused laser spreads out eventually.

[@AdamsWorlds]

Fire a precise black hole in front of the ship that will pull the ship towards it, and pull anything ahead in. (avoids the issue with collisions) Time it so the hole will vanish as the ship gets close. Then fire another one off, do this over and over the ship will get quicker and quicker and collusions will never be an issue. Basically a carrot on a stick but the carrot is also a shield. You could also fire smaller ones behind the ship to slow it down (or bigger one behind and smaller in front) You don't even have to "fire" them. You could just place stations 1 by 1 that opens and closes the holes. Send unmanned ships out that stop at set points and setup the stations for us. This would also maybe shield you from any detection as anyone looking will be seeing nothing (a black hole) Even if they do, you have the tech to literally swallow them.

If the first spacecraft can get to a new star system several years before the pursuers arrive, then they can have split and self replicated into many targets, spread across the solar system. The persuers can't destroy all the targets. If the pursuers try to land, they will be shot at. Actually, if you are being chased, you can fire mass backwards at your persuers, and speed up. If they fire mass at you, they slow down.

“I have sworn an oath of solitude whilst this pestilence continues to scourge the land.” I’m not exactly tech-savvy but I remember reading some old supposedly hard science sci-fi in which the ships would have some sort of magnetic/force field funnel that would funnel all those small objects into the nuclear chamber in order to convert them into is some other kind of mass or simply eject it at a higher speed in order to use as a thrust material to propel the ship at a constant thrust building up tremendous speed. I don’t know if that was just sci-fi tech or had a real scientific base. It’s obvious that the simple magnetic field might not work I don’t know if magnetics could actually funnel physical material into the ship’s propulsion system.

[@calvingreene90]

A Buzzard ramjet. Unfortunately the interstellar medium does not support it for accelerating; you will get more drag than thrust fusing interstellar gas but it could be used to slow when arriving at your destination. Including refueling in route. There might also be a loophole that by applying stored energy from the ship you can put more acceleration on the scooped up mass than just fusing interstellar gas would achieve as to achieve net positive thrust.

[@ilkoderez601]

For interstellar travel, you _HAVE_ to have a distributed ship for collision avoidance; That means an active structure capable of changing the space between segments to avoid debris... and you _have_ to have multi-mode propulsion systems.
