Why is it Still So Hard to Land on the Moon?

When youtube is filled with low quality, repeated AI generated "content" like the ones of your sponsor, the platform will become unuseable for finding high quality informative videos like yours. I don't see a world where fully AI created content is good for anyone except people trying to get rich quick

You need to drop that sponsorship ASAP. I just walked past an older coworker of mine and I'm 99% positive she was unknowingly watching a fully AI created video on Facebook. That technology is a scammer's dream come true.

Running an ad for a science video creating AI yet you are a science communicator yourself feels like you've just shot yourself in the foot.

I thought I could accept just about any sponsorship ad if it meant my favorite youtubers could get paid, but appearently AI ads are a step too far for me. I don't want to judge anyone for trying to earn a living, but I also can't watch videos that promote the very software plagiarizing them.

You can EASILY get better sponsors than AI generators. Don't sell yourself short next time.

@ video AI: please don't. Videos like this sample, make me run for the hills screaming.

Just design the landers to land on their side! God, do I have to think of everything?!

Sponsors can impact credibility. I agree with what others have already written.

Uuurrgh .... InVideo AI .... we're already inundated with AI dross on YT. This will totally kill the platform.

Where are the moonbases I was promised as a kid!

Before Apollo 11, NASA ran these missions to the moon: 8 Pioneer missions, all of which failed 9 Ranger missions, 6 of which failed 7 Surveyor missions, 2 of which failed 5 Lunar Orbiters, 1 of which failed. That’s 29 unmanned missions to the moon, 17 of which failed. They kept trying, and every failure improved subsequent attempts. They also ran the entire Gemini program to test procedures for Apollo, then 6 unmanned Apollo missions to test the spacecraft. Apollo 7-10 were manned missions to test the spacecraft and procedures again.

As much as I've loved your channel, and followed through with it for years, the AI generated video plug left a bitter taste. Especially knowing that Science/Documentary AI generated content are on the rise on youtube. I love your channel because it's not "Content", but because it's interesting. The AI part really makes me want to stop looking at it, however.

Ask your sponsor how they trained their AI and whether or not they just fed it YouTube videos.

The sponsorship’s choice was terrible 👎

Skipped 2 ads then an ai ad embedded.

Waiting for the Captcha that demands I click all the craters before letting me see my card balance.

Minor correction. The software patch on the IM-1 lander failed, so Odysseus actually landed with no working altimeter at all. It landed with an IMU and optical navigation, within it's targeted landing zone, with only a 100m error in the expected altitude at the time of landing. That error is why it landed a bit fast and a bit sideways, it thought it still had 100m to go. Quite astonishing.

If I see another ad for AI content generation I will unsub. Which would be a big shame, but this crosses a line.

Institutional knowledge. It's called institutional knowledge. No matter how well documented a project might be, knowledge is lost one retirement at a time. Everyone who worked on Apollo is retired or deceased.

AI will never taste in cloths selections you wear .
