Could Exoplanets Really Be An Alternative To Planet Earth? | Life Beyond Earth | Spark

Exoplanets are planets that lie beyond our solar system. Thousands of them have been found by humans, and it appears that some of them could hold the perfect conditions for human beings to live on. Could they really be habitable for humans and is it possible to reach them?

Y'all could really do without the obnoxious background music. Couldn't finish the documentary.

[@jasonblack6142]

Turn volume down and turn on caption , Mic drop lol Just trying to cheer you up

[@epencrep]

I always like to fall asleep listening to videos talking about space related topics and when the music is to loud or playing while people are talking it really kills the vibe

[@ecb8252000]

I like the music. It’s essential to me. Especially if I’m falling asleep. The only way I wouldn’t care about the music would be if a hot chick in a bikini was doing the narrative.

[@skaterrrdie]

Get headphones

[@dannybell926]

Just curious, what is your age? I've seen this same comment on a lot of videos lately. I'm 39 and the music doesn't even cross my mind while watching. Most people who answer are under 25. It would be cool to understand why background music is so bothersome to young people that they can't watch the video

[@PursueAndObtainKnowledge]

After so long is there really a space documentary I haven't seen 20x?! Thank you so much!

[@Devmac89]

That’s my issue as well I promise I seen them all. I’m always chasing something new but it’s been a struggle.

[@BlueArcStreaming]

They're way, way, way too far out there. There's plenty of space and material in our own solar system to build habitats here for the next 30,000 years.

[@anthonyshiels9273]

I would like to see a direct image of Proxima Centauri b before I die.

[@skyemac8]

Distance = Isolation. That’s a good thing.

[@jasonblack6142]

Till you have a terrible dream

[@MatthewEbner-fr3wc]

Earth is full of wackos and it's a pleasure to be part of the family 🙏 love you all, thank you Family!❤

[@joshuapatrick682]

No, we are causally disconnected from them until we learn how to manipulate space-time at which point we probably won't need to worry about our planet anymore. Time is just a direction where the "lines" never intersect. We only perceive it as being one direction but it is immutable from the rest of reality and gravity has a strong influence on it just like everything else. every possible permutation of matter and energy that can exist in a single point in space-time does so because the subatomic is basically just probabilities pre-loaded into space time like transistors in a computer hard drive ready to run code and turn it into meaningful information.

[@fouraces9137]

Red dwarves are a waste of time, sure it's easier but anything worth doing is rarely easy.

[@user-el7xm9yf4h]

Saludos desde Nuevo Laredo Tamaulipas Mexico, excelente trabajo artículo nota dato periodístico con contenido, gracias 🙄🤔🙂👍✊🤙🤝☮♾🛡🏁

[@userk4175]

Love that eerie soundtrack.

[@andrej2321]

Yeah, no, not in the near distant future. We fuck it up here, now, we won’t make it there, then.

[@jasonblack6142]

What sucks is everything seems to be corrupt this days all the hyhercies

[@TechnoViking__]

Send me to one. I’m DONE here 💀 btw Dr Sasha is cute ❤

[@jamesraymond1158]

This video is 3 years old or older

[@nick24mobi]

What is part one?

[@FilthyCasual312]

The unfortunate answer; so far, is no. There are no exoplanets; that we know of, that is close enough to reach with our current technology. We need to focus on improving human existence on our planet so that we have the opportunity to maybe get a chance at, an attempt, at another one. Realistically speaking? We’re on a cosmic island that is ideal for life as we know it. Hopefully we can learn to appreciate our Mother Earth properly before it’s too late. Humans have a relatively short history. I think we’re capable of space exploration, but we need time to learn and adapt.

[@jasonblack6142]

If they was telling us everything, it would be major news .they have the ones come on that really don't know shit

[@MatthewEbner-fr3wc]

Intelligent life, and where?😮

[@mushroom_hatter]

9:50 hes liying .. next video

[@mandysyoutubething]

The music nearly overpowers the voice i can't watch it 😢

[@EricaFiore]

We would have to bug them with viruses bacteria way before we go down then we would have to create all manner of anti meds. Sorry folks just can't park the spaceship in the alien space port and hop out waving shouting "Hi Alien people er all life, ops ... sorry we wiped you all out".

1 Corinthians 15 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

[@jasonblack6142]

Its time people we're being lied to on a major sale

[@jarmengolalbanell]

Allways outdated?

[@audiofile8833]

No. For an exoplanet to be a viable alternative to Earth, we first have to develop interstellar travel, and ships large enough to build a self-sustaining colony. We're probably a thousand years away from something like that.

[@minirock000]

Don't forget we would also have had to evolve there.

[@audiofile8833]

@minirock000 It would help, yes. And if the planet in question already has life, we'd have to destroy it in order to establish our own ecology.

[@minirock000]

@@audiofile8833 If we could recognise life I would like to think we would leave it be. Perhaps that is when our space agencies would be justified in keeping secrets from us. These scenarios will likely never play out because we will kill ourselves before we ever leave the solar system.

[@jaytotheareokay]

Remember that major news article that put human flight 100 years out, like a month before kitty hawk? Less than 100 years before the moon landing?

[@audiofile8833]

@jaytotheareokay No such Human heavier-than-air flight took place well before the Wright Brothers. Otto Lilienthal beat them to the punch by at least 10 years. As a matter of fact, the Montgolfier Brothers beat the Wright Brothers by a century. All that said, spaceflight is far, far different. The fastest spacecraft in the Solar System, NASA's Parker Solar Probe traveled nearly 400,000 mph. Which sounds fast, until you realize that light travels 186,000 miles per second, and 400,000 mph is just 111 miles per second. That's slow. Too slow to be feasible. I explained all that to explain this: the closest star system to our own is Proxima Centauri, and it's over 4 light years away. Nearly 6 trillion miles. I could go on and on, but I hope you get the point. Interstellar travel isn't going to be a thing for a long, long, time. Mankind has only stepped foot on the Moon a couple of times. We've never even left our own gravity well, yet.

[@Causemoi]

just outdated by three years....

[@chucku.farley3927]

never gonna happen

[@JackSmith-kp2vs]

Is this an AI voice?

[@anthonyevanik1981]

could you imagine a ufo landing at the white house and the ufo says let me speak to your leader then the christians will shove religion down there throat then the ufo will be forced to learn all the gay pronouns

[@jaytotheareokay]

Go outside. No one is forcing pronouns on you weirdo.

[@anthonyshiels9273]

Caltech is a much better place for an Extraterrestrial Being to make First Contact with us.

[@jondonnelly4831]

Narration with errie music at high volume ruins this. It's never lets up. Unsubed. Disliked.
