[@AceSpadeThePikachu]

Doesn't matter if it's a planet, moon or dwarf planet, if it's big enough to be more-or-less ball-shaped due to its own gravity, it has interesting secrets to tell us.

[@quantumfoam539]

Vote the best Fan theory of how Simon can run so many channels: 1) There are 100 clones of him. 2) He is an AI automated hologram. 3) Many actors are deep faking the videos. 4)He is a hive-mind of hundreds of people. 5)"ALIENS" 6) Sold his soul to the Devil. 7) He plays the song of Time backwards. 8) We all live in the Matrix so he is just an illusion. 9) He is a literal GOD. And finally.. 10) He is working himself to death.

[@Jonnygurudesigns]

11) He has a team of people working with him..

[@joshbunton6424]

12) to use a wrestling term it's all a work. Danny killed Simon and through the use of dark magic and Google he is using Simon's body to make all of the videos

[@iainballas]

It's so crazy to me to think that, most likely, there is an ocean under one of the big ice moons that you could legit scuba dive in. If there's liquid water and a survivable pressure, it MUST be a temperature you could survive for a while at with an insulated regular diving suit. Even weirder to think that when you came up for air through a hole in the ice, you'd die more quickly than by holding your breath underwater.

what is your career like, after taking Astronomy in college? What do you do now?

I love how Simon says "geysers." I guess it's a British thing, like "aluminum." I picture an old man on his front lawn yelling at younger planets to get out of his solar system. 😆

[@jaysonspears464]

Yeah...I was shocked that Triton shoots out "geezers".

Hi! Love your work; I’d be interested in a deep dive into the future of large scale manufacturing on the moon and an exploration of what types of structures, ships and probes could be produced and launched in 1/6 gravity. (Lower cost for exploration long term?)

[@matthawkins3584]

You might as well just make a channel called Astrographics. We would all watch it.

[@djdrack4681]

ice = water. water = H2 and O2 for fuel | H2O2 for oxidative reactions. plenty of H for hydrogenation (making acids/bases) and O for Oxygenation. Add any hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, etc) and you got the raw materials for A LOT of stuff.

[@reinatycoon3644]

I've always been fascinated by Triton ever since I learnt of it back in 2004 as a teen when reading a now outdated Astronomy book named Explorations. I honestly believe that Enceladus, Triton, Ganymede, and especially Europa have carbon based life. Maybe even as advanced as jellyfish! I also believe that Titan has some exotic silicon based life.

[@kevinpaulmyrick]

Now you need a Venus update with the recent discovery about vulcanism.

[@rpgarctic]

What an incredible world.

[@Spindrift-id1ez]

I was born in 62 so as you can imagine I've grown up with the Space program. And I love the space program and all it has discovered and all that it will. But when under such budget constraints, I think sending two more missions to Venus is a waste of funding that could yes, give us a probe to Triton. We already know what we need to know about Venus for now, which is that it is Hell. We've mapped it and I don't recall anything showing up that needed NASA's immediate attention... Personaly my money is on Europa, simply send down a lander, Then the Submarine Ice drill can do its thing... Easy Peezy... HERE FISHY FISHY!! :)

What's great about science is the fact no matter who makes the discovery, everyone around the world can benefit from it. If China does go ahead with picking up the Neptunian torch, it could spare the scientific community an additional 40 year wait period on any discoveries for Neptune and Triton.

[@rolandthethompsongunner64]

Space must be littered with rouge planets and moons. The vast distances between stars isn’t empty. Something we would need to know about before attempting interstellar travel.

Venus does have active volcanoes. Mars also has them to but the majority of then are dormant or extinct.

[@jmanj3917]

900 times a size makes that size get bigger. 1/900th the size would have been correct. js ---- Also, if the seasons change every 40 years, then wouldn't it be eight decades until the next window opens to explore the Tritonian winter? (Yes, it would, because there will be forty years of the winter which is about to begin, plus forty years of summer before the winter rolls around again.) js
