I thought it's a kurzgesagt vid but now that I'm here I'm binge watching all of your videos

Top 10 Reasons Why It’s Hard For Me To Fall Asleep:
-
Probably not the wisest to bombard the moon with comets/astroids. It might work in the case of Mars, but the moon is a bit too close to earth for this to be a viable option. It would eject an incredible amount of Moon Stone into space, some of which will inevitably fall on earth. Just imagine the damage that would cause... EVERY FRIGGIN CLEFAIRY WOULD END UP EVOLVING!
-
I appreciate the amount of effort put into this video. I would have expected you to brush deeper into the subject of why the moon doesn't have an atmosphere in the first place. Specially focusing on solar winds and the magnetosphere.
-
I love how this adresses how low gravity might be a problem by the end but completely skips the issue that said low gravity means any atmosphere we might establish would not be stable for long with gas escaping into open space due to lack of gravity.
-
"How do we give a moon an atmosphere?" "Icy comets, baby!" Moon: "But....my weak gravity...."
-
“What if we terraformed the moon?” “If we could hypothetically terraform the moon in any given way—“ “We can’t. No atmosphere” “BUT, if we could use the mentioned solution, there’s still an issue… no atmosphere.” And after they finally stop repeating themselves for 70% of the video, they finally talk about the “WHAT IF” parts. All while failing to mention that all them gasses ain’t gunna stick around with the moon’s gravity/magnetics. Then some last minute bodily harm to humans on that gravity before ending the video. Holy, this was frustrating to watch.

Would love to see you guys use metric instead of imperial units! Keep in mind that the world is bigger than the US alone, make your videos understandable for the rest of the entire world!
-
Filling my kuezegasgt thirst hahaha love the channel man keep it up. I'd love to see more space stuff.
-
I was expecting him to also talk about the imminent side-effects on earth
-
I thought it was a Kurz video from the excellent production, and when I found out it's not I was even HAPPIER. Twice the scientific exploration channels, twice the fun, twice the knowledge! Can't wait to binge!
-
These are all fantastic videos with incredible animations, thank you so much. My only minor suggestion would be to include metric units in order to best cater for an international and scientific audience (even if just written on the graphics in brackets in addition to the imperial units). Looking forward to what this channel will upload next!
-
Every upload feels like an event
-
the moon doesnt have a strong magnetic field meaning that even if you had a atmosphere the suns radiation would simply blow it away
-
It was at the end credits that I realised I am not watching a Kurzgesagt video. Lmao great stuff. Subbed.
-
This channel is such a gem, so glad I finally found it!
-
Please give units in Celsius too. Not everyone lives in USA. love from India
-
"The Moon's atmosphere is less gassy because it has less gas." Thank you, Prof. Einstein.
-
Loving this channel. Keep it up man
-
This is fun to watch. You have the same calm voice as the Kurzgesagt guy. I like it. This video is really good
