Do You Need To Worry About the Huge Asteroid Coming Towards Earth?

With the looming threat of an incoming asteroid in our planet’s vicinity, the facts may not be as scary as it seems.

Kant Predict Same here

[@spyderbyte4271]

Same. Of course that might be because I literally just watched his new video before watching this. Have to say these are night and day. 54 seconds of basically nothing versus something that was truly amazing to me with Kyle. I read a news story about the asteroid and it was more entertaining than this video. Oddly enough it took me about the same length of time.

[@shgysk8zer0]

I'm still waiting to see what the channel is like without Kyle. But I have to say that posting videos like this give the appearance that you're nothing without him. Might want to go silent until you have another host. Even just someone temporary. You're really shooting yourself in the foot with stuff like this.

[@Jessie_Helms]

Chris Zuber I agree. Plus the algorithm is gonna hate a video with no faces, less than a minute long, that probably is going to having lower than normal subscriber interaction.

[@shgysk8zer0]

@@Jessie_Helms wonder how difficult it would be to get some guests do an occasional video. Not a suggestion, but it'd be hilarious if they grabbed a mop, slapped some bubble eyes on it, gave it markers for fingers...

I wonder who they're gonna bring in to replace Kyle, or if they're just gonna admit defeat and stop uploading videos?

[@worsel555]

I think they tried a possible replacement with that one lady who had zero stage presence and flow, after two or three episodes, including one with Kyle she just disappeared.

[@Merennulli]

@@worsel555 She does a separate spin-off segment called "Because Space" and has a day job at JPL that keeps her from doing it often. She was never going to replace Kyle. She is a mechanical engineer, where Kyle is a science communicator, so it's not too surprising that his presentation is a hard act for anyone to follow. For someone acting outside her area of specialization she did a great job, but it's obviously not going to be better than someone who literally specializes in this and has years of experience.

[@shawnpitman876]

@@Merennulli No, Kyle is a civil engineer you fucking moron, that's what his degree is in. The only thing that makes Kyle a "science communicator" is the fact that he explains science to people in videos, something she had JUST as much opportunity to do as Kyle did. She's just BAD at making videos, and there's no excuse of a reason for it, she's just not meant to be in front of a camera, because she sucks at it and for no other reason.

[@DarthGTB]

@@shawnpitman876 uhh have you ever looked back into any of your favourite KZbinrs that aren't actors by profession? That includes Kyle as well.

[@Captnemo563]

I appreciate the efforts to keep the channel alive and am interested to see who you get to take over the show. I also appreciate not using Kyle's old footage that was left behind. That was too soon and in poor taste last week. Good luck on the search for a new host. Hope they do a great job.

[@MongooseGamingBurrow]

Interesting that Because Science is still uploading videos and re uploading old ones of Kyle. Of course there’s been rumors and stories, nothing solid but Geek and Sundry seem to be in trouble losing all kids of people from Nerdist, Project Alpha, and so on. Reports of dissenting among the higher ups and losing people like Jessica Chobot and Amy Vorpahl. Notice they really only have Dan Casey doing basically all hosting duties. Maybe Kyle got out just in time.

[@LeoStaley]

Oh shoot I didn't realize Amy Vorpal left too. Shit is getting desperate. I hope it isn't like what happened to Cracked and CollegeHumor. I'm not a fan of Jessica's casual vlogging channel, but Kyle's new channel is awesome. I wonder if Dan Casey is leaving too, or if he's high enough up the pecking order that he's immune, or heck, maybe even responsible?

[@shadenone]

@@LeoStaley Man, I remember the good ol' days of Cracked. That was some amazing content. Just wanted to say that because I rarely hear about Cracked anymore. Also, if your analogy is correct, Nerdist is a goner.

Exactly. We didn't follow Because Science off of the Nerdist channel because we loved Nerdist and science in general. We did it because the show was awesome thanks to Kyle's enthusiasm and general awesomeness. That's why his new channel is already growing so fast despite getting zero push here.

Without Kyle: 54 second PSA With Kyle: 10-15 minute episode about whether or not the explosive in Armageddon would have actually blown up the asteroid, whether the fragments would have been more dangerous than the asteroid itself, the actual effects of the impact for an asteroid of the given size if they just let it hit us, and short PSA about not panicking over things like this given the odds of one ever actually hitting Earth, closing with the typical "be good to each other" message. I'm sticking around to see what this channel becomes without Kyle, and I know this is still early in that process, but Because Science deserves more than a low effort sub-minute video. I'd rather see no posts than a "Don't Panic" clickbait post. Most people wouldn't even know about the asteroid if videos like this didn't point it out, so asking if we should be worried when we already aren't is just not helpful.
