It's a good thing the Planet Express doesn't have to deliver to Venus... Down at the surface, the average atmospheric pressure is... about 93 times higher than on Earth... which is nowhere NEAR what it is on Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune... Of course, if it CAN make deliveries to Venus... then it can probably go deeper underwater (on Earth, of course) than any "Squishie" submarine. Squish... squish... "There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow..." "It's worse than that. He's dead, Jim." "Slowly going forward... 'cause we can't find reverse."
@@ussenterprisecv6805 My point was that a ship capable of landing on almost any other planet in our solar system would be able to handle one hell of a lot more than just a single atmosphere of pressure. It was a reply to the OP's comment that "anywhere between 0 and 1". I *think* he was referring to the necessary 1 atmosphere of INTERNAL pressure... or perhaps the 1a (1 atmosphere) of pressure on Earth. 1a is actually pretty LOW in terms of the planets of our own solar system that actually have a functional atmosphere. Functionally speaking, it wouldn't much matter if that atmosphere was gaseous or liquid, as far as the pressure itself is concerned.
This is a series where kids ordered a pedal powered space bike from the back of a magazine, and used it for an interstellar paper route. I enjoy you trying to take it seriously.
Planet Express is indeed the company name. The ship is usually referred to as Planet Express Ship or simply 'Ship,' though at one point company owner and inventor of the ship's drive, Professor Hubert Farnsworth, referred to it as "Old Bessie." In addition to package delivery it can function as a fairly impressive warship with a laser turret and torpedoes. It has successfully fought off space pirates and participated in multiple full scale military operations, one of which it acted as the flagship in a desperate fight against a fleet of solid gold Deathstars.
Fun fact. The writers of futurama had several PHDs. And masters. And stuff like that. They described themselves as the most overqualified cartoon writers in history.
They did technically make a delivery to the moon once. They basically got to the moon and just chucked the package in some random bin, but they did actually get it TO the moon.
@@mattstorm360 Haha, that's right. Didn't they also technically once have to deliver something to themselves? i forget the episode, but i'm pretty sure they got assigned a delivery and then it was for the Professor so they just handed it to him.

*Edit: we are up to 6 packages delivered. See the comments below.* They did delivered three packages. The first episode a package to the moon, and then later some big jars full of I Love You hearths made of candy. Another one was to the planet with 3 suns where Fry became emperor, they delivered a sign "Don't drink the Emperor". I don't think I remember any other actual deliveries.
Yes, there was one episode when they do actually deliver pillows so a super grav world, then bender fucks off to the robot world I believe. So at least once lol past that I dunno, but at least once
I gave this video a like because of the great cat picture. Seeing that it's a Futurama ship video, my logic was also coincidentally appropriate. How wonderful.
i think the ship looks a little like thunderbird 2. the show is funny and tongue in cheek sci fi, obviously. as to its size, well the professor has a shrink ray, over there by his planet killer weapon.
Question: will you talk about the vulture droid? Or the tri-droid interceptors? I think that for a universe where everything goes with magic and most designs make no sense, those two are quite good
'Did the Planet Express ever actually deliver any packages?' Yes, there was that time they delivered nuts to the killer robot planet. And another with the pillows on the high gravity planet. That's all I can remember off the top of my head.
With the dawning realization that "position" is not a fundamental property of a particle, and only emerges from interactions between particles, I'm waiting for some enterprising scientist to figure out how to make a ship-sized lump of particles decide that it should be positioned somewhere other than where it started. That will fix a lot of problems that I care about, and create a bunch of new problems that I refuse to care about.
A sentient Cabbit/spaceship belonging to the universe's most notorious space pirate, that runs on carrots and falls in love with a human/jurai boy. Yep, that will be good.
I had actually once drew a ship that had an overbite. My reason involved the desire to put a cargo loading ramp in front of the ship. In retrospect, I like my landing craft inspired ship better.
well done... as I listened I found myself having difficulties deciding if you where just BSing the whole way or if you really where trying to take futurama's ship seriously. it was a great performance.
An interesting fact: the show’s writing staff had three PHDs, seven masters degrees, and had ~50 years of Harvard education. They ironically knew what they were doing, but did it anyways for the fun of it.
I recommend a standing microphone, and talking just to the left, or right of the microphone, and not directly into it. (but still being fairly close to it) once you've gotten the money, soundproofing... that's all I've got
Exactly how quick is the process of turning my ship into a cube? Is there a few seconds where I could move my ship out before the start of the process?
Ya, that's the thing when one show already takes the main idea for faster then light space travel, you end with explanations that make ZERO SENSE! for example, hyperdrives explanation is this "The hyperdrive functioned by sending hypermatter particles to hurl a ship into hyperspace while preserving the vessel's mass/energy profile, and required a functional hyperdrive motivator to do so. The vessel then traveled along a programmed course until it dropped back into normal space-realspace-at its destination."
I know it's not actually relevant to the point, but if an alcubierre drive is a supercavitating torpedo, a trek warp drive is a subspace hydrofoil, with space as the water and subspace as the air
Despite a bit of cartoon silliness, they're more scientifically accurate than your average Nova special. This show warms the engineering cockles of my nerdy atheist heart.
To be fully honest, considering its lightly armed in case its forced to fight pirates my guess it does deliver packages. Issue is package thiefs...could call me package pirates now, same thing through.
The thing I question is what happens when two ships with this drive try to move space at the same time. Exactly how much pressure is being applied to space to move the entirety of it at the same time and exactly how stretchy is space? Do you want to bring the creeping chaos into this world, cause I'm pretty sure that's how you bring the creeping chaos into this world.

That will fix a lot of problems that I care about, and create a bunch of new problems that I refuse to care about.
One of the latter is, notably, turning into a couch.

Book me on a trip to the Amazonian Planet for some Pelvis Crushing Snu Snu!~
The exhaust is the exhaust for the machine that moves the universe, it does not propel the ship. The flames would be much bigger if it did.
You broke the wall. Now please do Space battleship Yamato! Turrets!
They go though a lot of Planet Express Ships in that show.
Can't wait until you run across Ryo-ohki . . .
A sentient Cabbit/spaceship belonging to the universe's most notorious space pirate, that runs on carrots and falls in love with a human/jurai boy. Yep, that will be good.
And the tree ships.
I had actually once drew a ship that had an overbite. My reason involved the desire to put a cargo loading ramp in front of the ship. In retrospect, I like my landing craft inspired ship better.
I was reading a series of books where the alien robots who had wiped out their creators species used dark matter in the starship hulls..
well done... as I listened I found myself having difficulties deciding if you where just BSing the whole way or if you really where trying to take futurama's ship seriously. it was a great performance.
Simply put, Futurama is the softest of science fiction shows. The ship's speed and other characteristics are defined by the needs of the plot.
An interesting fact: the show’s writing staff had three PHDs, seven masters degrees, and had ~50 years of Harvard education. They ironically knew what they were doing, but did it anyways for the fun of it.
Sacred Cow Sama, I think you need a nap.. I know I do. -kobold research officer I-41 “Kunai”
The most entertaining part about this video is someone who's never seen the show doing a deep dive through the wiki
your audio is cool i really dont mind it if anything it makes the explanation better in my opinion
Now I want to see what happens when he gets to see Red Dwarf...
The universe revolves around the ship. Similar to how the ship is needed to move most plots
What a way to hear someone's mind break down 😆
"Which movie was it? I lost Trek" XD
they delivered at least one soufle that had nitroglycerine in it, I remember that one....
I recommend a standing microphone, and talking just to the left, or right of the microphone, and not directly into it.
(but still being fairly close to it)
once you've gotten the money, soundproofing...
that's all I've got
awe, got a heart and lost it :(
Mumbling over the 1MC!?! I thought my CO was the only one that did that!
The name " Planet Express" is probably a play at "Pony Express".
And what *happens* to the compressed ship cubes? Is there recycling program or... Like, an auction for cubed hulks?
**whistles innocently**
Personally, I suspect that they get assimilated.
I suppose you could call that being recycled.
Carl Sagan's worst nightmare of imagination.
Exactly how quick is the process of turning my ship into a cube? Is there a few seconds where I could move my ship out before the start of the process?
Once the assimilation has begun, you're just out of luck.
Ah, Futurama! The show that understands exactly what it is.
Hmm.. I really need to get me one of those customer-service-grenades as well...
Ya, that's the thing when one show already takes the main idea for faster then light space travel, you end with explanations that make ZERO SENSE! for example, hyperdrives explanation is this "The hyperdrive functioned by sending hypermatter particles to hurl a ship into hyperspace while preserving the vessel's mass/energy profile, and required a functional hyperdrive motivator to do so. The vessel then traveled along a programmed course until it dropped back into normal space-realspace-at its destination."
It operates at 200% efficiencies and the crazy guy who built it doesn’t know how it works…
I know it's not actually relevant to the point, but if an alcubierre drive is a supercavitating torpedo, a trek warp drive is a subspace hydrofoil, with space as the water and subspace as the air
Despite a bit of cartoon silliness, they're more scientifically accurate than your average Nova special. This show warms the engineering cockles of my nerdy atheist heart.
hmmm yes, yes they did to the moon to mars, to tri sol, there are a LOT of packages delivered and the ships name is Bessie
To be fully honest, considering its lightly armed in case its forced to fight pirates my guess it does deliver packages. Issue is package thiefs...could call me package pirates now, same thing through.
All of this starts to make sense when you realize that the company owner is a mad scientist.
But only starts.
The thing I question is what happens when two ships with this drive try to move space at the same time. Exactly how much pressure is being applied to space to move the entirety of it at the same time and exactly how stretchy is space? Do you want to bring the creeping chaos into this world, cause I'm pretty sure that's how you bring the creeping chaos into this world.
