[@axelord4ever]

The energy needing to _land_ on that planetoid is _greater_ than what is needed to simply hurl the same craft on a similar orbit. Also, slower than just doing another Voyager-type gravity sling. That four million years orbit means it'll take about half that time again to reach apsis. The retrograde orbit _definitely_ doesn't help either.

[@TheMathias95]

Why not just.... Send a tracking beacon without having to land? That's way cheaper lol. No point in landing just to be a tracking station, if no experiments would be made 😂

Might be a mistake to blindly trust. I enjoy this channel on occasion, he promotes a lot of interesting content and he's always positive and I would say a beautiful person at heart. But I have seen him tout political and university propaganda as "science-fact" too many times to be trustworthy in general. Not to mention claiming some of the worst papers to ever be published as "absolute evidence". I'm not saying he's evil or anything like that, probably just too busy to do hours of research for a single video etc. It's completely understandable. And there is a lot of content that is quite good. Just that his takes are about as "mainstream narrative approved" as it gets (which is anti-science as a whole, like putting the cart before the horse). Might as well rely on Neil Tyson as a bastion of truth at that point

How many civilizations do you believe there has been?

[@CHROME-COLOSSUS]

@Ariel Lazarus, @fntime -. Although it seems unlikely that any previous civilization had advanced technology comparable to our current world, there have been many civilizations that had very advanced understanding of (and skills to manipulate) the non-petroleum based things like plants, animals, stone, water, earth, and metal. For your average “advanced” civilization that’s plenty to work with. Much of our human history knowledge bumps into a wall twelve thousand years ago because at that time habitable areas changed dramatically as a lengthy period of glaciation ended, shifting rivers and disappearing coastlines (places we tend to set up shop). The people we refer to as “ancient Egyptians” were apparently trying to learn from and emulate an even more ancient people who had left only ruins, and about whom we know nothing - save for their ability to build with colossal stone blocks. With geological evidence that the Sphinx predated the “ancient Egyptians” its plausible to think that any civilization capable of such large-scale aesthetic crafting must have been well established and possibly predated by still older civilizations. I doubt that anyone was flying around in jets, tunneling through the ocean floor after petrol, or poking at smart phones, but for sure we Homo Sapiens and some of our Homo cousins were occasionally pretty darn organized way back when.
