Seeing the orbital rings, stellasers, fusion economy, and so many other concepts from previous episodes all put together to form a system is really amazing. Your vision of humanity's (near) future is unlike any I've ever seen before, but, once explained, it seems so cogent and self-evidently necessary that I have a hard time believing it won't happen that way, at least in the broad strokes. This channel has quickly become my second-favorite exploration of science and possibility, right after Carl Sagan's original Cosmos. Keep up the good work!

What I love about your channel Isaac, is that even though we still live in a time period where we haven't even managed to start colonizing the Moon or Mars, you talk about all those incredibly sci-fi ideas like we could do them right here right now. You take what looks to be a distant dream and turn it into reality with your wonderfully informative videos.

[@stefanr8232]

Alex Blessed, Isaac said "25th century" not "right here right now". James Watt patented a pressurized steam engine in 1781, 237 years ago. Benjamin Franklins kite in a storm experiment was 1750. Imagine telling Franklin that electric powered flying drone quadrotors would be able to deliver same-day express packages from warehouses located in the Appalachian mountains and that you could place the order directly from a tablet carried in your pocket. A lot of technology happened in 268 years.

[@maddockemerson4603]

I’d like to point out, concerning chandelier cities, that even if you could make it as structurally sound as a normal city, there’s one huge difference that adds a quite serious risk: If a building collapses in a normal city, everything falls to the ground, typically less than a kilometer. People might survive the fall, and the materials used in the building can be salvaged almost as easily as they were initially mined. If a building collapses in a chandelier city over Neptune, it falls long enough for the people inside to realize their doom, crashes minutes later in a place of extremely high atmospheric pressure, everybody dies and you’d need planes or rockets to get the corpses or material back. That’s not to say a chandelier city wouldn’t be built. I can imagine several solutions to that event. 1: Every structure has an emergency escape pod. Just like every building in a modern city is required to have a fire exit, Neptune’s chandelier cities require buildings to have emergency airplanes for people to climb into and fly away before everything crashes. 2: Every building IS an emergency airplane. When the structure falls, wings and engines deploy and autopilot everybody to an emergency landing zone. 3: Some kinda safety net? I don’t know what it’d have to be made of, but if you could passively catch any falling buildings it would at least minimize casualties and resource loss. I think option 2 is the best. Any takers?

[@ferblancart8669]

4: those buildings could be modularly made with balloons integrated(a mixture of plane-balloon really), carried floating to the city, put in place, and if falls use those very balloons to not fall too much and stay floating until drones catch you the fact that the fall takes more time than a conventional skycraper really makes it safer than earth or any other surface construction where debris can fall on you, here you can control the slowing rate and minimize lethal force, a collapse on earth would be instant no time to react, though maintenance should prevent any of these scenarios

What is this guys accent? “Hello it is us, the humans from planet Orth”

[@marquecz]

It's a dialect widely spoken in the Oort Cloud.

It's a speech impediment. He cant say 'R's

[@tulliusagrippa5752]

dean84921 That’s not the only thing he can’t say.

[@beanie5851]

Lol well I’m not trying to make fun of anyone’s speech impediment I just found it amusing that a guy who makes space videos pronounces his planet wrong lmao the vids are great I hope it wasn’t rude for me to say that. ❤️

YES!! We're almost to Pluto in this series! I cant wait... Pluto's so cool...

[@digimon41lifeify]

I think we should make a communal sci-fi series. We should use all these ideas and make a public work all under a single pen-name and donate the whole sum to 3 main causes : trans-humanism, space exploration, and nominal consistent power such as the solar array. If this gets to 50+ likes I'll make the Google doc.

I support you. Outward Bound: The road to the year 3000 seems like a fitting name.

[@LucasDimoveo]

I love this idea!

I was waiting for this episode for a long time. Neptune is a special planet, because it is an inviting blue color of oceans, but is the last planet with crushing winds and extremely cold environment. Colonizing it seems like an ultimate challenge.

"Uwanus and Nweptune" I'm sorry it's too adorable for me to pay attention 🥺

[@fredricknietzsche7316]

Of course Arthursday is IA's birthday. Happy Birthday Isaac!

[@pleasedontwhipmemaster2353]

The narrator talks like that cartoon character Elmer Fudd .😅

[@EdMcStinko]

Good stuff Arthur. It would never have ocurred to me that we can harvest the abundant wind power of these worlds; ideas like that are why I love this channel.
