      Here's something to consider. If they made ships out of their own bodies, how much of themselves did they sacrifice?

      @@Br0ck3n this is old but it was stated one of their "thoughts" stretched for a lightweek. I think they managed to create ships inside their vast selves, and since they *are* electrical impulses and chemical reactions, my headcanon is that they transformed themselves from loose matter into sentient several lightday long vessels of war which run on those same processes. Think big enough to disrupt the orbit of moons. nearby ships being dragged into them by gravity and spite, smashed against hulls that eclipse all else in sight, even in space.

We treated their most deadly illnesses dying sometimes to do so. We did the second best thing that Humans do, We talked with everything that would listen. We are Humanity we want to kick your ass or be best friends with you. Sometimes both. On the same day. So who says that Humanity wasn't the Heros and Saviors?

    And basically, this is what Star Trek was like, before the current dark-times of the woke nightmare (and their talentless hack-writers). Earth moving out into space, making friends, fighting with some (but doing so honourably) and thereby winning more friends... so that when the local bully empire tries something, they all band together... and (in Star Trek's case) the Federation was born. My type of Sci-Fi. Humans being bad-ass not because we're the supersoldiers of the universe... just because we're being us. Like a good fight, but like a good mate far more.
    Especially and doggo-looking ones!

    Hey man, been listening to your channel a lot the past few days, I'm enjoying it as I've never heard anything about this stuff before, BUT, could I ask that you slow your speech down a tiny bit, sometimes you muddle a whole sentence into hat sounds like 3 long words, and without reading along it's hard to follow what is going on when I'm having to keep trying to work out what was said and in turn don't hear what is said next.
    other than that, really liking the vids 🙂

    This is the humanity that should reach out into the stars. The one that teaches by example to come to the aid of anyone in need. o7
