Spacerip is legendary. Truly one of the first RU-vid channels dedicated to space. I get a feeling of great nostalgia when I watch their videos. The godfathers/mothers of space content.
mars has air,water,grav., &,id say inhabitants under ground, same as we had thousands of yrs ago here on earth. desert under ground dwellings 10 storeys down. nasa,,= reality show.
Yes. Spacerip is amazing. I also am very fond of PBS Space Time although, that particular channel gets VERY deep into physics that I`m not at all familiar with. Still, they put out some absolutely captivating content.
Ok I think I figured out why the thumbs downs, the bloody music is drowning out the person talking. I watch RU-vid mostly on my phone through my stereo and all I hear is a whisper and crazy over powering music.
Great video, great 4k quality. I disagree with the comments about the music. The music was OK, I could hear the narrator without issues. I think they need to test this idea of laser-powered probes first. For example, they can try to actually reach Pluto in a day.
After getting over the miss-hearing of 40 trillion miles for the correct 40 trillion kilometers, I enjoyed this entry into popular understanding of how large 'space' really is and the monumental effort it will take even to get to members of our local planetary neighborhood. The narrator, Perry Ann Norton, did a most commendable job, with a very smooth and lucid tone, cutting through the sometimes over exuberant background music. I look forward to hearing Ms. Norton's voice on more video's from this channel. Overall, an outstanding production.
A tidally locked planet would be unlikely to possess a magnetosphere due to its lack of rotation. Without that, it would be unable to retain its atmoshere and transfer heat from the light side to dark side. Most red dwarfs are what's called flare stars, frequently producing CMEs that would make our Sun's superflares look like a kitten's sneeze.
I was going to write that I just don't think that there is life on tidally locked planets due to the extreme temperature differences of the 2 sides. Your argument is a better explanation..
@chuck sellers With your example, we have already can see the effect of that, in the case of the planet, Mercury. In a Young Adult novel by Arthur C. Clarke, he speculated that if there is life, it would exist in the 'Twilight' Zone between the 'Day' Side - permanently facing the Sun - and the 'Night' Side - permanently facing away. Given the extremes, iifc (I haven't read that book in decades) then life would be in the form of giant 'beetles' far bigger than humans, that survive on the minerals in the rocks, but also uses its 'wings' as solar panel, if the terminus on the 'Day' Side shifts just slightly into the 'Twilight' Zone. I think he wrote that they were openly hostile, perhaps because they're territorial, as one threw a rock at one of the Astronauts, that was part of the first, or so, manned mission to the 'Twilight' Zone, damaging his space suit, in his legs, to the point they both had to be amputated ... I can't remember the title, but the key theme is of a young man, whom, having won a space competition to go anywhere on Earth, as a much larger space station, in LEO, has been internationally declared as being on 'Earth', he argued the point to get on board ...
3 things I want to experience before I die: 1. Use an appropriate amount of paper towels for a mess at hand. 2. Use up an entire tube of chapstick before losing it or running it through the washing machine. 3. Watch a full SpaceRip video without falling asleep.
Until we can travel Light speed plus there is no reason to check out planets this far away. Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light-years from Earth, a distance that would take about 6,300 years to travel using current technology. Even at LS 4.2+ years.
What an absolute, marvellous content. I WAS waiting for somebody to make 3D visualisation of the stars in relation to our star (Sun). 4K on 4K 📺 is so good as if you’re flying through space even faster than the speed of light. Just saying.😇
This discrepancy is common. I think peoples' audio setups differ greatly regarding which frequencies get the most amplification. I could hear it pretty well too.
I love her voice too. This channel has two speakers with great male and female voices to help me learn and tuck me to bed. But please keep the background music and noise to the minimum, because they distract me from fully enjoying that beautiful human voice. Thank you.
Damn, you really have to sit and admire what our telescopes can do. Anxiously awaiting for the JWST photos slated to release on July 12th. I remember when I first saw the Hubble Deep Field image and was in awe when I was younger … so much from just one small spot in the sky. Then again to see the Ultra Deep Field? Made me both feel excitement and sadness. Exiting to see what we’ve been able to do with our short time here on Earth compared to the universe’s estimated age as a whole, but extreme sadness knowing that there are so many galaxies out there that we’ll never get to visit or see, let alone really know if intelligent life is on any of them. Just imagine … we sit here and dream of a day of being able to find an exoplanet that is able to inhabit intelligent life. We wonder if there could be a group out there just like us, on a planet way out there in space wandering if other life exists. It’s a wild thing to think about. You wonder if they’re advanced, going through their early years, or in a similar timeframe as we are with advancements. Can’t help but let your mind wonder to think what words they have for their everyday items, if they believed in God(s) or believe in a religion, if they ever discovered electricity, radio, or have something like the internet or even music. Saddens me to never know.
Well 22 years is alot better than 54,400 years! My problem with sails is they're even more fragile, they MUST NOT come into ANY contact with Meteors "pretty difficult", otherwise it'll be useless..
Amazing, totally amazing that EVERYBODY making these films forget totally that we HAVE such a planet in Venus here that practically gravitationally locked and faces the Sun on one side only (practically), with its day being longer than its year. And still its dense atmosphere rotates the planet every few days, distributing heat and air all over the planet. The temperature on the dark side is the same as the light side, thanks to this. The gravitationally "locked" planets around Proxima Centuri do not need to be any different than Venus, with their thick atmospheres distributing the heat (and water vapor, if any) around the planet. No need to assume an oven on one side and a deep freeze on the other side of a gravitationally locked planet.
Great video, it kept me awake whilst her soothing narration put me to sleep. Like one of those tidal locked planets. Poor things might be without a protective magnetic field, because there not rotating.
They are rotating - exactly once per revolution. Still, it's unlikely to be enough to generate much of a magnetic field, even with an 11.2 day year like Proxima B
I love this channel. Grab your bong and Take a big ole fat SpaceRip! *note: If you turn your bass up and turn your surround speakers down, Her voice is perfect!
Then you should leave the bong along and come to grips with reality!! It would take 70,000 years to reach that pale red dot! I repeat for the slow witted, 70,000 years!
When the first spacecraft reaches proximo ,it’s images will reach us 4 years later (if successful) so if it gonna take 20years should people on earth celebrate at 4 years before they even get the images? If we celebrate when the images arrive, are we gonna feel dumb that “we are celebrating for what happened 4 years ago?” Or if celebrate 4 years earlier assuming it reached the proxima, and 4 years later no image reaches us, are we gonna think “we celebrated for nothing” ? 🧐🤔
Ooooo, I LOVE the new female narrator! No offense to the dude who's been doin' it for the past several years, but her voice is so much more soothing in my opinion. The music IS a bit too loud though.
All speculation in a video game looking simulation, but makes a nice chill bedtime story. Old story for it talks about the James Web telescope to come online in 2018 to replace Hubble which hasn't happened yet and it's 2021 now leaving some scratching their heads asking why it's taking so long.
I think that the Earth and the life that is on it is something that is incredibly rare and in my opinion if there is other life out there we will never know it because the likelihood is so small
This is like the thing you hang above a baby’s crib to get your child to sleep , only it’s for adults and on a 1K$ iPhone laying next to you! Best sleep therapy ever! Note - make sure you don’t have auto play on or you may find yourself in a galactic war with alien civilizations from millions of light years away!
I enjoyed the video's narration and quality, but feel that before we can adequately and efficiently explore the cosmos we'll have to figure out how to warp space and find dilithium crystals.
I enjoyed the video myself, but I feel that before we can adequately and efficiently explore the Cosmos and not destroy any other beings,, we must look deep inside "Our Soul r system" and Choose the path of Light!!! Only Light!!!
You guys need to reduce the background music a bit more. Highly distracting and annoying intruding into the commentary. A good content marred by unnecessarily loud BGM.
What would be absolutely nuts is if we find out that earth based life also evolved on many other planets. Same animals, and eventually humans. Most likely life would be drastically different based on conditions.
