Protecting the Planet from Martian Microbes

NASA's Perseverance rover is actively searching for Martian life to bring back home. But given out track record of keeping things in quarantine, is that really a good idea? A (sortof) single-take exploration of aliens, astrobiology, and testing how many sci-fi movies references can I make in 8 minutes.

Bonus points if you can guess how many takes this took to film. Turns out that splitting it into three actually made it HARDER than the last time we tried this!

[@KhAnubis]

Wow okay, I'm honestly not sure whether to be more astonished at the visual effects or your ability to do such long takes (I will say I loved all the Minecraft references though!)

[@Cubium]

The transitions, floating movie names - everything about this video was so well done!

[@joanbennettnyc]

I spent 35 years producing tv and you're one of the best I've seen. Kudos.

[@questocanale]

I liked your video a lot, but that title is really too clickbaity:/ It gives the wrong idea... Really too bad, you have good content, and don’t need to go that far.

[@JakeD567]

Those transitions were clean!

[@siddharth-gandhi]

"Yeet back home". Liked immediately. Also some very smooth transitions! The timing would have probably taken quite some takes I assume. Stellar video as usual.

Atomic Frontier out here giving us his hot takes fresh off the oven of science

“Keep looking up” is the coolest damn signout I’ve ever heard.

[@ResidentHaloMan]

It's so surreal finding a KZbinr based in the city I live in that makes this type of content. Never have I clicked on a Tom Scott video before and gone bro that's where I walk my dog

[@majorfallacy5926]

smh couldn't even be bothered to go to mars to film on location.

James is stepping over the log, Julien is just smoothly hovering over them. Amazing camera work!

[@treefactgamers5200]

I'd heard about clean rooms for the outbound equipment, but not considered the return. Very interesting, thank you.

[@DarthSmirnoff]

Every video I watch on this channel makes me glad that I followed Tom Scott's recommendation to sub here.

[@adammorley6966]

"Perhaps we will be returning home" that kinda got to me

[@tyranneous]

This channel is criminally under-subscribed. Great video, thanks for making it - and damn, those transitions!

[@XenosInfinity]

That transition at

[@Nighthawk20000]

Gorgeous cinematography and excellent presenting skills. This is by far the best production value per subscriber channel on KZbin. Hope that you get more attention soon

[@geauce6694]

What an amazing video I'm so happy that in the last couple of months you've gained the recognition you deserve, the quality, which was already very good is now even better, and the content always is so interesting. Thank you so much and keep going forward, or looking up, as you wish :)
