Born Too Early To Explore Space......

[@JohanWilliams2001]

Time dilation is both a blessing and a curse. Being able to explore so much, but also losing everything. Not sure I'd do it

[@randomshit65]

When you break it down and realize we are all dying regardless, I’d say it would %100 be worth it . Seeing things nobody would ever see in the whole past history of our world and arguably ever.

I remember being younger (around 6-8yo) in the early 90s and talking to my dad about space travel when we’d sit out on the porch in summer, looking through an old cheap telescope he had gotten me for Christmas. I’d see Saturn and Mars and imagine myself on each planet, taking in the scenery and seeing Earth so far away. We talked about how certain star formations would look and if we’d still be able to tell where the Little and Big Dippers were.. I had all these grandiose dreams in my head about how I would go become an astronaut working for NASA with hopes of being able to take a trip in a spaceship that could go at the speed of light to distant galaxies …. I even drew all these spaceship ideas and imagined how the future attire would be in the 2020s, designing my own fashionable suit to meet new alien creatures in. Definitely took my inspiration from all the old sci-fi movies dad and I would watch. I did this well into my early preteen years where we’d sit and just look up at the stars. I had really high hopes that space travel would be a thing by the time I was in my 30s. I was incredibly naive and wishful. … but I remember my dad talking to me about it all (paraphrasing the conversation, of course) “We won’t ever go beyond. Definitely not in my lifetime unless something major comes along that makes the world think it’s a must. We’d have to be in a war where the race to be the first of something is even considered. It’s why we even bothered with satellites. It’s why we sent our men to the moon. It was because of war and worrying what another country would do first…” Considering how NASA keeps having funding cut every which way by the types of people who think it has to be either / or - “we should focus on people on earth and worry about feeding and taking care of ourselves first before we even bother with outer space” as if we couldn’t ever possibly do both. Instead, we fund wars we’re not directly involved in and continue to ignore our own people while space gets left out in the cold … literally and figuratively. I often think about what my dad talked about. Space exploration is a distant thing for us that will probably only be possible for a few powerful and rich types with the ability to do it, and it won’t be possible unless something threatens our existence to where everyone comes together to make it happen … like receiving a signal from other life from a distant galaxy or something, that’s the only way unless we were involved in a major world war to where an enemy country is trying to be the first to do something with space. Only then will we then see it as something worthy to consider. There’s a lot of ideas put forth that makes it seem like it’s something that will happen (moon bases, for example), but way too many are becoming more and more jaded about the idea of bothering with space, thus politicians not bothering with any funding for it .. again, having an either / or mindset where they think it has to be one or the other getting focus. I guess I’m just pessimistic as I’ve gotten older (just like my dad - he saw the moon landing on TV as a kid sparking his interest in space, then over time just started to have a glass half-empty outlook with all the things going on where it was ignored). With the launch of JWST, I had a small bit of hope rejuvenate those dreams in me that made me feel like a kid again, wishing that humanity could explore in space with all the new discoveries that the telescope may find … but it also dipped just as quick as I continue to see the bullshite we inflict here on earth just in the last few years alone. I feel we are way too consumed with ourselves for it to happen anytime soon, at least in my lifetime. Great video, by the way. I like these topics about space you have covered with the Astrophobia one being a video I downloaded for offline play. My teenaged son gave it a watch on a drive one day and it sparked an interesting discussion between him and I. It was well-written, and I hope to see more videos like this from you in the future.

The fact NASA keeps having its budget cut and it's missions delayed while we spend ungodly amounts of money on the military industrial complex makes me very upset with our species. But I hold onto hope that someday we may wake up and take space exploration seriously.

[@mbralliable]

JAXA and ESA are helping pick up the slack.

[@Redacted_Ruler]

An unfortunate result of our lack of unity, and the prevalence of totalitarian governments like China.

[@trollciopath3767]

Antisemitic much? Wow

[@sadolftalin1016]

Even if this video doesn't get as many views as your usual ones, it's still good too see you branching out into something that's obviously so personal to you. I hope that you can keep up the good work, regardless of how many views or likes or subscribers it gets you.

I work in hydrocarbons/plastics, and have always thought about Titian through that lens; you’re the first other person I’ve ever heard mention it. You could make so much damn plastic, and the universe takes care of a lot of the process with Titan’s conditions. Thanks for the vid

[@rojoajax4441]

What an awesome video. Really well put together. I hope you enjoyed making it

[@sillystarlover-e2j]

i love videos like this, the video you made about astrophobia, this one, and everything by melodysheep being my favorite, stuff like this is truly underrated as a topic of genuine discussion.

[@thelibyanplzcomeback]

This video is too amazing to have less than 10,000 views.

[@randomshit65]

Man please make more space videos

[@joestack1921]

YOOOOO You got the Carl Sagan’s Cosmos music hell yeah

[@dr.strangelove7696]

Awesome video. Makes me miss looking at stars with my son.

[@salv1707]

Can definitely see the Cosmos connection. Nice video

[@xquintaine]

i did enjoy this video a lot. thank you.

[@Crimsonarts2323]

Extremely underrated and incredible video

[@SteppefordWife]

I hope with progress made on cheap renewable and sustainable materials on earth, what remains of hardier hdrocarbon, plastic and metallic materials ought to be reserved for space projects (and hopefully mean the lower strain on supply will reduce the budget needed to build the ships we need).

i love these space videos!! :D

Bruh, have you never been to the Maldivez nor Iceland? Shit waaaay better than space. Plus space has no Cape Verde bad biddies.

Aww, u mad that there aren't clickbait red circles and arrows, overly dramatic stock music songs and an AI voice?
