Growing up with shows like Star Trek, these videos, if nothing else, show me just how far we have come, and just how far we have to go...equally impressed and frustrated lol

@jerseybound717 26 дней назад

Just think of how much further we would have gotten if people didn't lose interest in NASA so early on. We lost a lot of tech and things to be able to push more people into space because the public got bored and didn't want to pay taxes to Nasa anymore. Nasa's budget doesn't even show on a scale to the defense budget,

@@jerseybound717 I don't think it's fair to blame all of common man (to be un-pc) - we are guided by our economies and those who drive them. If they get bored with it, or more to the point, couldn't see the profit in it compared to the industry of destruction and reconstruction then what could you or I do to change that? We have been 'inspired' by corruption and war with psychological manipulation and misinformation, as if that is our true nature - we could have been lead down a more loving and cooperative path. Trouble is we could never know because we give in to our 'devils' with barely a whimper, the cynics have won.

@wyattboothby5285 26 дней назад

The sun shield is a completely passive module. It has no flight systems, sensors of scientific value or data collection purposes. It's basically a lens cap that gets jettisoned when the orbiter separates from the other components. But yeah, it is technically four sections, so I caught that too. I think he just left it out because it doesn't have a cool acronym like MIO.

I've had the privilege of a long life as a very interested science observer (science is my passion but it don't pay Squat). From the early 60's thru to mid 70's school years thru to now, I've witnessed the evolution of what I call High Layman information regarding Science (Mercury). My opinion with a Dollar added will get you a 2nd day Doughnut at the Deli, with that said I think Mercury was a Neptune type gas semi-giant that's had all it's upper gas and liquid atmosphere blowtorched off. We had a Hot Semi-Jupiter but not any more.

@Astronomical_YouTube 25 дней назад

Sorry, but that's not the case. At 0.4 AU, Mercury is still far enough away from the Sun that evaporation would take a long, long time. So much time, that the amount of craters we see on it's surface wouldn't match with the amount of craters that we'd expect to see. It'd be noticably off. Of course that's not even mentioning the fact that hydrogen and helium were a very sparse gas in the inner solar system, making Mercury - closest to the Sun and least massive planet in the inner solar system - at the lowest chance of ever developing into any form of gas giant.

Your reaction is basically ''lol you're lying'' without providing an objection to explain to me why i could be wrong. The distribution of gas and dust in the early solar system is a researched topic, and the fact that you're clueless about it doesn't mean that science is clueless about it. In case you want me to tell you more about early solar system research, or ''ancient alien scrolls'' as you like to call it; the reason of the abscense of hydrogen and helium in the inner solar system is because of the sun's radiation. The outward force from the solar radiation pushed out the lighter elements to further distances from the sun, where the solar radiation was less extreme, leaving heavier atoms like iron and silicate behind. That's how we got the heavy and dense terrestrial planets in the inner solar system, and less dense gas planets further from the Sun.
