Viewer Questions Episode 5 

This should be pinned 👍

15:40 when we all opened Amazon to see what the price of yellow cake uranium on Amazon is.

16:38 Burp :D

Dzhanibekov effect should be pronounced as Janibekoff.

Jenny-back-off 🤗

Me too 🙃

seen weirder guys as DJs

i thought that is the most commonly known private fact about Scott.... Everytime he's asked (in streams) about his one-ear headset he explains the DJ thing.

@@5Andysalive it's also on his channel banner

What is he waiting to begin a podcast? I wanna hear him DJing!!

He never asked us to subscribe or like the video.

@@rasaecnai And yet he has 1.26M subscribers, he's just that good at the unscripted yet filler free content.

I like this style so much better than the channels who have 30sec intros and two minutes of just unrelated gibberish before the actual video starts

Some of my favourite channels have started to become more “polished”. I don’t really need this. It must be a lot of work to do all this editing and CGI etc., but if I’m interested in a topic and it is presented well, I don’t need all the fluff on top.

Scott should be a director for anime companies bc IM TIRED OF FILLER ARCS Lol

I want to hear about yeeting moon rocks. I love high-frontier stuff.

Ikr haha

I should have bought a whole lot of orange Fiesta Ware dishes when they were still relatively cheap...

On god, talking about nerd stuff at parties often ends in me being the center of attention lmao

Or how alcohol is a suitable rocket fuel

@@alexsiemers7898 yeah amazed m3

Cia and FBI will keep in touch

and school

@@yes1603 To be fair, school can only go so in-depth. But there are many more factors that go into the quality of your education--what teachers you have, how good they are, how your classmates behave, etc.

Because Scott did all to googling for you;)

Generally learn much more from Scott than what many schools can even dream to achieve

@@gamerfortynine Well not while recording, but he got this knowledge in his head somehow... (and yes I know books also exist)

I told you. We don't have a god. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more--

@@jackielinde7568 God bless you!

Does the badge training include anything practical for scouting enemy nuclear capabilities? (I do remember the origin of the scout movement).

Editing this comment so it doesn't make sense

@@duncanhw It’s probably offset so that the tip of the red thing doesn’t get cut off.

nasa

Watch the shuttle lego build. ~10 hours. Enjoy.

I wonder, do you get flat earthers frequently replying to you when you comment because of that pfp? Curious.

Quit reading! You might expand your knowledge. LOL

ughhhh I hate those ads... seems like every other ad is one of those.

Use an adblocker.

Maybe worse, maybe better. You'll probably never have the chance to go to the moon and have the locals laugh at you trying to stand on your square foot of land.

you might as well get more than a square foot, what with how land there is dirt cheap

At least Scotland actually exists, although they have no right to sell any of it to you. With the star thing and the Moon thing they're selling us a set of coordinates that may or may not be real.

Don't watch what codyslab gets up to then

Cody's Lab 2.0

@@gamerfortynine Yellow cake is not enriched it is just high concentration uranium oxide that can be used as source in an enrichment process.

To be fair, it's not like Scott has the tools and parts to make a nuclear bomb. That requires both a high level of technical knowledge and some specific parts. Sadly, it could be used in a dirty bomb, which is less about actual damage and more about fear and terror. I might want to look at a sample at some point, but I don't need to own the stuff myself.

uranium ore?

A self aware computer. Also possibly the first mention of "deep fake" videos for political purposes. All in all, that novel was a masterpiece.

@@jaychip1 I’ve never understood why it hasn’t been made into a movie.

@@markholm7050 well, they tried Starship Troopers and screwed it up. The masses that don't read and only watch movies want the cheap they normally get.

It's not casual, he has it for an important purpose - showing it to children.

@@johnladuke6475 The funny part is that we only know about the uranium because someone decided to ask about the banana chips... something that most of us would have just assumed was a snack.

Ah, kinda like the zh in mandarin makes a sort of J sound

Thanks.

In the contrary, English uses j for a combination of two sounds. There is no "j sound", just [dʒ].

@@yastreb. It depends. It's wrong to say there is no "j" sound because if you ask your average native English speaker what a "j" sound is, they'll all say virtually the same thing. It's a bit difficult however since English is nowhere near pheonetic so trying to line up the alphabet neatly into sounds does not work

Also, don't forget "too familiar"... (Awkward kids unite... awkwardly.)

@@jackielinde7568 So true. It's called "coping", some go DJ, some never went to party, etc

@@julese7790 some hid in the school's library playing D&D with their "also awkward" friends.

@@jackielinde7568 shhh do not mention nor ask about d&d

@@julese7790 So, I shouldn't shout, "Roll for Initiative"?

Real chemistry sets had no end of cool things. Kids today are too stupid to be trusted with them, sadly.

Too many personal injury lawyers. Although my original set is long gone, about 12 years ago I bought a nearly identical set off Ebay.

@@onebylandtwoifbysearunifby5475 Or maybe parents today are to smart to trust kids with chemical sets from the 50s. Kids back then do not seem to have been that smart. Heck, it was a lot easier for them to eat lead paint chips then it is for kids today. And based on how a lot of how Boomers act today (because yes... these kids are the boomer generation) I would not call them the high of human intelligence. Now I do not want to throw a whole generation under the proverbial bus. There are many forms this generation that is smart to. As there are many from today's generation to. Each generation have to face their problems. And huge part of those problems are what they inherited from the previous generation. I would not let any kid use any chemical set unsupervised personally. No matter how smart or dumb they were. Because I know what I would have done with such a set. Even without a set me and my siblings manage to make thermite after all.

@@Cythil Emergency Room doctor folk have told me of myriads of "TicTok challenge" 'Einsteins' who have been severely injured or worse by consuming various items and ingesting truly moronic substances, plus various other behaviors. Add to that: SAT scores have been curved-up multiple times because the average score keeps dropping, so the test keeps lowering the bar. Now, not all kiddos are idgits, I'm just looking at the average of the group there. ("Numbers is as Numbers does." --Forest Grump) (They aren't exactly inventing the computer, or landing humans on the Moon using slide-rules. I wouldn't be in a hurry to compare this generation to "boomers". "Boomers" kicked everyone's a**)

@@onebylandtwoifbysearunifby5475 Well if we are talking about kids then kids are not really doing much, are they? Their kids after all. It not like Boomers where landing people on the moon either. At least not when they were kids. As for landing people on the moon. Well seems like we are getting back to that. Then Mars. The question is more political will than it a technical challenge. And do not forget it was the greatest generation that made up the significant part of the educated workforce during the apollo era. Boomers had a lot of great opportunities given to them. At least if we are talking about the American white population. They created a lot of the challenges we today have to fix. I do not see them as some mythical better generation. I see them as a product of the times. And I see a lot of the stagnation we see today as a result of boomers. After all which generation now is it that is in political power? Gen X and Boomers.

Good explaination, thanks!

“Janibekoff” is better because Russian devoices final consonants.

Nah, the D is not silent.

It fell down the back of this guy's bookcase.. sorry about that...

I'm betting a heavily clipped version of that section will end up in a flat earth video at some point. Scott Manley moon expert explains how the ascent module could never have taken off.

You, Too?

Heinlein made good stuff

@@vablo7198 patreon 😉

I was surprised that catapult launches from the Moon won't reach escape velocity given all the fresh energy converted from solar to kinetic.

🤣🤣😜

Weird way to describe my last weekend, but ok

Pott Manley

Marijuana

@@rundata marihuana is acceptable as well

The idea is much older than that. A lunar magnetic catapult figures prominently in Arthur C Clarke's 1952 _Islands in the Sky_ and I doubt if he came up with the idea himself.

It's an idea that will come to fruition in the "not too distant" future.

@@sproctor1958 no such thing as a free lunch!

@@johnmc67 if there were, these beers would cost half as much.

I don't have a copy. Is the printed version a perfect cube?

@@johndododoe1411 the digital version is larger I believe, but it's definitely approaching it

And higher you throw them, smaller the kick motor needs to be. If you throw _really_ fast, you can put stuff into an Earth orbit. If you have good aim (i.e. the gun placement and timing), you can put your cargo into an aerobraking trajectory. (see "shooting the Earth")

@@AlexeyBurlakov I see someone has read the book "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". ;)

@@jackielinde7568 I haven't. Is it good?

@@AlexeyBurlakov Aerobraking or lithobraking trajectory?

@@AlexeyBurlakov Yes. Any Heinlein is good.

It's the channel name

Why would it not model it given that it naturally arises from the laws of physics.

I think I've seen a video in stock ksp showing the effect in action

​@@scottmanley Mainly because I didn't know why else principia needed to patch it in (but on second consideration, it might have been in regards to their time-warp rotation). And because I never saw it happen when I used stock. So figured I should ask as I know you sometimes use principia. Then there is also the fact that I am biased and associate stock with forgoing physics in favour of simpler (but still very adequate) models with better performance (ie. SOI, Rails) :p In this case an example would be to have an angular-velocity property for entities (or contraptions) where each tick rotates it around a specified axis by the specified angle. Either way (despite me giving too detailed of an answer to what is likely to have been a rhetorical question :D), I take it your response implies that it is in stock, so thanks for the answer :) edit: found the patch-note in question, was version frobenius, and they call it "Джанибеков effect", but I presume it translates to the same name. Doesn't clearly state if it was only in regards to adding the effect to time-warp, but it _is_ the version that added "continuous rotation when warping", so it probably is indeed the case.

@@feha92 Yeah I know that Principia has some rotation hacks to deal with the game engine only allowing planet rotation in one axis so it might need some special hacks.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lgi9bZ40tHQ.html Here it is in action (in stock).

Well thank you very much, and to you too! :)

And of course, fly safe :)

Good day to you too!

A good day to you too friend

@@isaachenrikson3197 as always

Yellowcake is a long way from weapons grade. It's just ore, not even pure metal, and would take a lot of refining to make it metal like the container he shows off. Which would then need a lot of refining to be weapons grade. Which means you have to start with a LOT of yellowcake and people start asking questions. Just ask Iran.

@@johnladuke6475 This is why we can't have nice things. It's called a joke.

@@bryceborgialli5090 Science channel, even the jokes get fact-checked.

@@johnladuke6475 Fair enough

He has eyebrows.

I think it was a 118 meter asteroid.. Not exactly a planet buster.

I agree. Scott is the person to go into depth for us non-engineers. www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-to-participate-in-tabletop-exercise-simulating-asteroid-impact

Was just scrolling through the comments to see if anybody had mentioned Harsh Mistress yet. I don’t know if Heinlein invented the idea, but it is certainly a major plot device in Mistress. That is 1966.

Genuine Brazil nuts are more radioactive than ones grown elsewhere. The selenium they take up from Amazon basin soils is slightly radioactive.
